you think some of these c43s were altered miles ? could be possible but it always pays to research any car your buying wear and tear signs
and other let tail signs to look for if your buying a low mile c43 . Cluster mechanism is pretty simple on our cars but computer memory and programming would have to be
preformed I’m assuming but for the most part I can say I’m content with my c43s mileage history

That may end up being our destiny, always less than the M3, but quite a bit more valued than they were in recent years. The E30 M3 has gone nuts but that also has a much lower volume than the E36, at least here in the US. The US E36 M3 will also always be stigmatized for having the significantly less powerful engine than the ROW spec cars. We have the benefit of relatively low volume. We'll see what the future holds, but this has been a really good result for C43 owners to see them finally getting some appreciation. This is the first time that I have seen a car in very similar condition and mileage to mine get more than what I paid for mine 13-14 years ago.
I feel like it's important to point out the difference in production numbers between old M and AMG cars.
Yes, there were few E30 M3's. Of the 2.4m E30's:
18k were M3's
5,300 were shipped to the USA.
Of the 3m E36's built:
71k were M3's
35k were shipped to the USA
Of the 1.8m w202's built:
3400 were C43's
1400 of them made it to the USA
I'm fine with them never being as valuable as an M car, but the rarity between the cars is not even close; the C36 and C43 were 20x rarer than their M counterparts.

Our cars are super rare. I only saw 2x C43’s on the public road in the last 6-7 years and I drive alot up in Northern California. Our cars are faster then e30 m3s, value will rise for sure.
Great setup from PA it’s nice to see different rims on our c43s not ez to get a good stance takes the right wheels tires spacers and drop to get that perfect look QUOTE=S6TEN;8400681]
The gold wheels are the previous my
current set up, SSR Koenig specials ❤️
OP is that the same silver one you picked up from Allentown?[/QUOTE]
