What did you drive before your C63?
I had an SLK 350 with a manual transmission. Wanted an SLK55 but got tired of waiting on my order and jumped on a C63 that had arrived at the dealer. No regrets at all. I wouldn't change things if I could.

You made a good choice but...
Considering the huge hp gains from the 6.2 vs the 5.4 and the increased emphasis on driver involvement, I'm curious why the SLK55 was even a consideration?

I liked having a convertible. Wanted more power. Given my ethnic makeup a convertible is a bad, bad idea though. Now I don't miss it.

I almost traded the E46 for an RS4 last year but in the end decided that I'm just going to keep this until the wheels fall off, especially since I bought it new while the Audi would've had miles on it.
Enjoy the C63 in good health. You may have missed out on the E46 but that 6.2 means it's been worth the wait. It's a very capable car and the sound from those quad pipes is amazing.

I sold the GTR-R35 for the C63, it's not really a comparible I think. The C63 definitely is more comfy and better for 4 passengers but it's not GTR's speed. But then speed is not everything.
I do miss the GTR tho ...

Need more room for the newest member of the family. Considered getting a 335xi and swapping the mods but I like the looks and raw brute power of the C63 instead.

I am currently driving my magnificent ML63 AMG, which is sure to gather a little bit of dust for a while when my C63 arrives in a matter of days, the wait is driving me INSANE!

I added the C so I didn't have a car that it replaced. But I did have an 04 E55 that I got rid of and missed the torque, so I guess that's the car it replaced.
