C43 from S5
Hi. I just got last month my c43 coupe. Blacked out trim, digital dash, performance exhaust , navy and 18” wheels. I love the car. My 18s5 was trouble from day 1. I sued them with the lemon law and recovered all my money from them on the lease. Every last penny. The car leases to high for what it is regardless. The c43 drives great a little stiff and sounds o much better This is my first Benz since 2005 I had a clk 550. From there I was into a e90 m3, then a s5 then rs5 then tts then s5. I lease and change cars quickly. This car has for me. I love it from the way it looks to the stock performance..
i put the oem door lock pins in and the kn air filters. I’m looking at a tune and a carbon spoiler as upgrades.
im glad I’m here.

W205 AMG C63S
I chose mine over both the S4 and 340i (I need a wagon) as it is just much more of an occation than driving either of the two others. Superbly comfortable when you need it (or maybe it is just because I came from an M135i which was as comfortable as a gokart) and loads of fun when you want it!
Someone posted a head to head of the three not too long ago and the conclusion was that the two others were both more competent in each their way, but the merc is just the better package for what it is supposed to be.
Anyway congrats on the car!

If you don't mind my asking, what problems did you have with the S5?

Can you eloborate on what went wrong with your S5? And how your Audi ownership experience was? I am playing with the idea of getting a used 2015 S6 next year.
