I'd like to introduce myself, and my new C43. I bought it off another forum member "m a x i m u s", and I couldn't be happier. He was a great person to deal with, and the condition he kept his car is beyond words.
The day I went to buy the car, and I was waiting for m a x i m u s to show up I got a call from him saying the car won't start. In my mind I couldn't believe it, just an hour ago the car was perfect, I drove it, and now its dead? But m a x i m u s being the great guy he is payed for the repairs (ended up being a fuel pump). And on my birthday the car was ready.

Oh. and first impressions is: WOW, the noise, the looks, the 13 year old luxury, the stance, the gauges
The C43 had always been my dream car ever since my brother had his C230 Kompressor, and I'm finally driving my dream. They always say never drive your heroes, but I did, and I love it!

So without further ado my C43
Black/Black
111000 miles
only missing Xenon's and Memory Seats.
Only m a x i m u s's photos for now

Welcome to the club! Tons of info about our cars on this forum. Members are friendly and helpful too.

RobertM27

Max, you have great taste in tires took it up Angeles today, and it grips, tried flooring it off a stop today, no traction loss at all
And if I can find the 18 mono I would put them on, but it already has the euro springs so the way it looks now is perfect to my eyes

Welcome to the club

Did the C43 come with memory function for the seats?? I have never seen it.

RobertM27

I think it did, unless I'm mistaking it with the clk, and e classes

503C43 ////AMG

The CLK55 and the E55 both had memory seats but I do not believe the C43 ever did. If it did I have never seen it.

RobertM27

then I just confused myself haha, but I am missing the "sport" package and I'm assuming that's what includes the xenons, and the headlight washers

Welcome to the BEST 43 forum around

If you have Euro springs, wonder what pads you have front and back. They come with #1 front and rear from the factory, not unless you have ALL the options ticked on the order sheet. Looks a tad high to me if #1's are fitted

RobertM27

I can't tell you which pad is used (maybe m a x i m u s can chime in) but I can say that the car looks lower in real life than it does in those pictures.

m a x i m u s

I didn't change the pads. Iirc, the fronts are #1 and the rears are #2.

And yes, these are w210 springs off of the e55amg (that's what they use on the c43 in Europe.)
