New C43 Owner.

Picked up the C43 the other day and I must say I'm in love. Went with the white and cranberry leather interior.

My tent guy is right next to the dealership so it was my first stop. Windshield and all done.

Congrats on the purchase! I love my C43, you made the right choice for sure. Tints are looking fresh as well.

Hey. The windshield is 35% and the rest is 15%. It is all done in the ceramic tint, which really impressed me with how well it keeps the heat out.

I live in Florida. I did not have to special order this as it was the only white with cranberry leather in the state and was at my local dealer. It had some extra things on it like the HUD, which I had no intention of paying extra for if I was ordering one, but now that I have it, I love it!

Other than the alleged "upgraded burmeister audio", which btw is horrible, I have zero complaints. Car is amazing. Going to put some DPs and an ECU tune on as soon as I have this audio problem solved.

I wish we could do wind shield tinting too but it's illegal in Bantario.

Beautiful. I absolutely hate the fact that I don't fit in the coupe. Porno red leather and white exterior is my favorite combo.

As far as the Burmeister is concerned, apparently it takes some tinkering with to get it to sound right, I think a thread here or in the 63 forum has some suggested settings. I'm curious about it, if nothing else it looks nice. I really liked the HK in my ML and BMW and the Bose in my S4.... the stock LR system in my Disco absolutely sucks.

Have you tried sitting in the coupe? I'm 6'3" 260 and it felt very comfortable.

Thanks.

As far as the Burmeister goes, I have tuned it as much as possible to get the harshness out of the mid range, but no matter what you do you can not get any kind of low end response. I am going to basically gut the thing soon as I have enough free time. Other than that, the car is great!

Depending how significant a change you want to make to the Burmester you may not have to gut it entirely, @Mike5215 made the following changes as he has outlined in this blog post.

Why do you need a "tent" guy?
