1995 SL320- Good bye sweetheart, 2005 SL600 Hello gorgeous! 1995 Ferrari 355 GTS, 2006 BMW M6,
Considering a 22/23 CPO C43 coupe

Looking for a daily driver that is capable in winter with light amount of snow and ice usually.
my wife's daily a 19 bmwx4m had its electronic control for the steering rack fail while she was driving.
it freaked her out and she wants nothing more to do with it despite it being fully replaced by bmw under warranty

she wants a new car no more SUV
we had a c300 years ago and while we were at Road America this weekend she saw and sat in a 22 c43 coupe.
Thats what she wants.

not familiar with the car
I gain a great deal
of knowledge from this forum over at the amg GT group and was hoping for some guidance.

many thanks

Going from X4 M to a C 43 is a downgrade as it competes with the GLC 63 S coupe. That said, you no longer want an SUV so you also don't get 4MATIC if you go C 63 S coupe. I guess you already know that, I have a suggestion, what about E 53? It still doesn't come close to X4 M but at least you have 429 horsepower instead of "just" 385.

Sorry to hear about the steering rack failing on the X4 M, that must had been scary.

Thanks W205C43PF

E53 looks great but a bit of a bit of a stretch financially at this moment.
Will keep looking for some low mile CPO models
happy wife
happy life
