New to the C63

A quick hello from Down Under.
Just bought a 2010 C63 - Tenorite Grey, black leather, Aus delivered spec with only options being Keyless Go and Rear Blind. I have "upgraded" from an E46 M3. I looked fairly hard at the new M3 but in the end it just did not work for me, plus I was a little over BMW in general.
I wont go on about comparisons - this has been done to death - but suffice to say I am one very happy C63 owner!!!

Not at this stage. Having just spent a fair wedge buying the car the bank account is in no state to fund mods!! Plus I live in a "high risk" postcode so mods could well make insurance a nightmare (perhaps even render it unobtainable on a modded C63)!!

Yes there certainly not cheap here in Oz but well worth it. If you hang around this forum there will be no doubt you will start modifying, to many ideas flying around.

Welcome.. and honestly, I know many will have a differing opinion, but I would skip the performance mods till your warranty expires. Aesthetic mods are fine though.
