Thanks. 
zibby43,
How do you like your Dinan 335i? I'm pulling the trigger for its flash very soon, and curious if I could get some thoughts from you on that matter. Thanks in advance.

Bob,
2 different classes man, but I will do my best. Since the C63 is still an MB, it's a bit on the soft side, but it's a big improvement over my E55 & ML63, I haven't gotten a chance to compare it with my SLK55 because MB hasn't released the car yet, not until May 1st, but I bet my SLK55 with P030 should bit a tad better than the C63. On the M6, I had given it H&R Springs and in M-Mode, the car is "rock solid", literally. I bet on a sunny day at the same exact highway off-ramp, I can take the M6 around it @ higher speed than the C63. On the other hand, the M6 has faster steering response than the C63, while the steering feel on the C63 is a bit numb, quite excellent for an MB, but still not sporty enough when comparing to a BMW.

One more question do you feel that C63 nose heavy or not?

Definitely, that's why in some videos you can see the car understeers a bit. You are right about bigger wheels & tires, but it's also the 50-50 balance that MB hasn't quite acheived yet.

What is your impression on the gas mileage? I love this car, but really concerned with the way gas prices are increasing. What is your review regarding mpg of your c63? How big is that gas tank? If you don't mind me asking what did it cost to fill up the first time?
Thanks!
Thanks!

MPG
I was just wondering what your take on the gas mileage of your c63 was? I love this car, but i am worried about the gas mileage with our increasing price per gallon. If you don't mind me asking how much was it the first time you filled up? How big it the tank?
Thanks!
Thanks!
