Well, I'm running on a Stage 1 AMR tune and my best valid so far is 3.87 in a 0-60. Are you SURE you are stock? lol

Just picked it up cpo. But my last cpo was faster than it should be too.
Kinda think I need to test the dragy.

Just curious though, what made you wanted another C 43 xD, I am struggling to find a replacement that I wanted as well, hence why I am stuck driving one (which is honestly not a bad thing).

I thought you had a cpo that had issues and told us to be aware of (thank you) that your car that turned out to be a lemon with water leaking issues was not fixed yet for some reason it passed cpo, what made you trust cpo again, or was that someone else?

Didn't you also wanted a bigger car, was looking at the 5 series 550i or was that someone else (if so I am sorry I got both of which mixed up).

Although less accurate, you may also use the 0-60 times provided by the car built-in, I think it is in Track Pace(If you want to)

Lastly, please share pictures of this new cpo (if you want to of course : )

Mercedes offered me a trade credit for all the crap and bc lemon law didn’t apply.
so it was a Benz or lose out on the money.
they’re amazing cars. But I drive them too fast. If that’s a thing

Congrats, thanks for the pictures, that is pretty much loaded, enjoy and hopefully no more issues.
Curious though, did you consider the CLA 45, I mean since MB was the only option in your case, there are other cars like the CLA 45, maybe..(E 53?)

Right. After all, that one you got rid of was a lemon.

I’m still mad that the dealer is selling my old one as cpo. And car fax is pretty much garbage. Stuff on there is true. But can have lots of missing services

e53 was out of my budget

I am with you as well, I am mad too. I wish the state will have laws in place to deal with such practices, oh well : (

Ya carfax is for reference only, PPI is the way to go it seems.

Well, at the end of the day, I am glad you no longer have to deal with this mess that you had been through.

Give it a few runs and see. Before the AMR tune I wasn't able to crack 4 (using a Race Chip GTS Black) but now pretty much everything is 4 or under. For having nothing on it though that's wild. lol

The M276 is capable in many configurations tuned or not so I am not surprised with the performance results.
