I have been looking for a replacement for my m235i and finally got around to test driving the c43. IMO it is a better looking coupe, the interior is a step up, better sound system, more features and tech. The test drive sealed the deal for me, sufficient performance for my needs, I was very pleasantly surprised. They were very determined to sell a car, every time I tried to walk they would sweeten the deal. I am now the proud owner of a iridium silver, Cranberry leather , black ash wood, perf exhaust, hud, heated/vented seats, Premium 2 pkg, 2017 AMG C43 Coupe

Congrats on your purchase! The M235i really is a magnificent machine but there is no doubt in my mind that your C43C will give you just as many grins! The red / silver combo looks excellent.

You made a good choice.
Once you got tired of driving stupid fast on the M235, you would realize the driver assist, parking assist , hud etc are all missing.

I have a 2015 435i loaded and wanted a change.
The M235 is too small and indeed fast but lacking in creature comforts and safeties.
The c43 is slightly larger and better suited for daily driving.l
I made a similar choice and ordered a 2018 c43 amg this past week.
The attention assist , transmission, computer displays, and driver safety packs are quite superior. Not sure a stereo shines in such a small car as the BMW either. Don't forget Front Bass in Mercedes.

Good choice.. The bargains available for 2017 vehicles must be pretty darn good right now!

Nice!! This is exactly the build and color choices I am planning on. Do you mind me asking how good of a final deal they made you?

$4237 off the sticker price. I also felt ok on my trade in, landing 4k more than what I was offered 8 mths ago with 10k less miles. I am very pleased with my decision, no regrets, nothing missed with the m235i only more to enjoy with the new c43.

Got the windows tinted Today, came out looking fantastic.

Congrats on a great purchase and beautiful car! I have a '15 M235xi and have LOVED it, but over the past few years noticed that BMW has really let the interiors and features slip. I went to MB and drove the C43 AMG Coupe and it blows my BMW out of the water. Interior feels SO much more rich and the options like Performance Exhaust, Ambient Lighting, a Remote App that actually starts your car hahaha ect....

Lease is up 2/18. Will order a '18 C43. Nice to know there are other guys like me out there and I don't feel like as much a traitor after owning 5 BMW's! For me the decision has been an easy one and I'm looking forward to the change of pace.

Interestingly my insurance dropped $110 a year. Safety features perhaps, collision prevention assist plus? I'll take it.

The interior is an area BMW needs to step up their game. The c43 interior is in another league compared to the m235i.
