Well first reason, is that I havent been really happy at all since i crashed my first one. I mean it meant alot to me, my girl turned alot of business down just to sell me thecar way below its worth. and second I loved it and I put alot of money into it. When I bought this one I felt that its more of a luxury car than sport and since I'm a young guy thats not what I'm really into.

WELL I just want to update yall on the situation going on right now with my car. I blew a headgasket leaking compression car doesnt run no more. So I guess Ill get my wish after all. I want a c36 again and I want it for the new year. As far as the car goes tommorrow im burning it for the insurance or I dont know what to do. I still have the factory warranty so Ill probably just take it to do the rebuild.

if you still have the factory warranty then you should take it in and have it fixed. But after this situation, it might be harder to sell the car. I'd say keep the 43.
Can't really think of any reason not to keep the 43 other than that the 36 might be a little more balanced since it has a little less weight in the front. The interior feature in the 43 should be much better than the 36.

if i can have oppurtunity to have my first car (2000 328Ci) again i would definitely get it. But it has to be cheap and look exactly like my old car. I wouldn't go search for it though.
either way, do what makes you happy is the most important.

it's doing great. other than the front tires are wear much faster on the outer edge. And I'm getting use to the torque the car has...it doesn't feel as fast like it use to...lol
yeah, i don't just go and test drive cars when i'm not gonna buy them. But really want to though. I was at the Infinity dealer checking out the G35 coupe. It's hella good looking car. The exaust note is amazing when the sales start the engine just to show me the exaust note. I didn't drive it though. The interior is very well built.

nice man. Wel hope it keeps bringing you joy as any AMG should do. But yea Im not so sure what I want to do. I mean the car is paid of already but I'm looking at the mazda speed. It's a nice little car because I want a car for my age, you know what im saying??? I mean I drive this car but some people think that its my parents or some **** like that and it bothers me. I mean its not that I look like a kid but im young im 19 im turning 20 in may so I want a car for my age I'll still drive this car though I mean im pretty sure that if I trade this car in I'll get the other one for free. So good luck with your car and thanks for replying.

i guess the bigger the number goes i.e. C43 people think it's more luxurious or something for the older people. I turned 20 1 1/2 months ago. the AMG is just fine for our age. I don't like people to think i'm still a high schooler or something.

I've wanted a C43 forever lol! I am 19 now still don't have one. I don't think its an old persons car. You should be happy with it! Does it have xenons? Xenons are a great must have u wont find on most cars and C36s.

Porsche Turbo Stage 4, Cayenne S ... gone C43, C32, ML55 & Ducati 999.
I had a C43 and it is the lighter C class, including C36-C55-C32. [I can give to you stats]
I had chipped and with K&N and the car goes really quick. Well perhaps a silver color may look for an older driver, but if you have the two tone interior, definitely is a younger driver. Finally, in my case when I had it I was 28, and it was black with silver/black interior, and I must say everybody loved my car, specially younger people, as well as older people got the impression of a grandfather's son/nephew car, jjjjj
