2019 AMG c43 coupé
Smile C43 I've owned for a year and been extremely happy with

I'd be willing to upload a super long review and comparison of the transition from my c350 I owned for 4 years to my c43 I've owned a little over 1 year. C350 sold at 140k miles C43 bought at 79 and is now at 93. But for now I will just upload pictures of the C43 along with a single of the c350 and maybe ya'll will like it. AMG performance exhaust. Renntech EVM. Tint on the windows. Nextbase dash cam front and rear, and radar detector. That's all I've done so far. I plan to do downpipes possibly soon. I'm very picky about sound and I think the current sound is great. I just wouldn't mind slightly louder. I do not want a tinny higher pitched sound. The current sound is 8/10 for me. But obviously I wish I had the C63 sound. Which I will have an older one if they decide not to put a v8 in cle63. All depends on if they listen to the market. Also I'll provide a couple exhaust videos hopefully that's allowed because 2 are on my youtube. By the way I'm INSANELY happy with the EVM. It perfected my only issue with low RPM being way too quiet. Low RPMS sound loud and deep now. Tell me what you guys think. I absolutely love my car owning it well over a year now. I bought it from Aston Martin in New Jersey who all treated me terribly. And I purchased a 33k 3 year warranty which covers all but suspension. (I drive about 10k miles per year) so far no issues with engine. Only issue I had was with an awfully pitted windshield, hood, and bumper. Probably from Texas highways where it came from. Which I promptly replaced. I live in Maine and the winter performance with my winter tires was phenomenal. I was able to safely pass slow drivers, and also have plenty of fun around the rotaries! The AWD is my main reason for purchasing these 4matic coupes. So far it's been on par with my c350 with no problems until around the 3 years ownership mark my c350 needed the ac compressor fixed. Which was perfectly on time and within my warranty.



















pops and bangs. Downshifts, high RPMs
startup STOCK! with no EVM
Slowing down just to downshift one time

Congrats on the car. Glad to hear you are enjoying it. Good idea on the EWM, it did a lot for me as well, the sound is so much nicer at low RPMs while as in stock it closes down quite a bit at low RPMs and only opens up at higher RPMs.

If I recalled correctly, you are also coming from the M276 from the C 350 to this car, which by the way also is a M276 just with turbos and a lower displacement, which is a reliable engine.

I mentioned on many threads already but I think you should consider... unplugging the oil pump solenoid: https://mbworld.org/forums/c450-c43-...-oil-flow.html
