Hello everyone,

So I'm contemplating on switching to a more modern platform to either replace or compliment my E55 in the stable. I'm looking for something compact, AWD and turbo with a modern auto and I've boiled down to a C450/C43, M240ix/M340ix or a B9 S4. I'd much prefer to stick with a Mercedes product but besides this guy , running 10.9x 2 years ago I can't really seem to find any newer data on how to go quicker whereas the BMW and Audi seems to be running much quicker with more support. Any input or experiences would be helpful., thanks.

BMW is faster stock and there is a much larger mod platform.
I pulled up next to and S4 at a light yesterday he started revving like he wanted to race. He had a CF spoiler and I smoked him.
I’ve run under 12s 1/4 & 3.58 0-60 with just the JB4

I am selling mine if you're interested. I haven't tested the quarter mile yet. 0-60 just under 3.4s with 1.2Gs of acceleration.

I have the CTS Turbo intake, downpipes with HFCs, and eurocharged stage 2. Tires did spin when i tested it, so most likely can do quicker.

I would suggest another platform. My 2016 - C450 tapped out at 11.46 @120mph. Makes a great daily driver though.

Here is a quick pull:
