2012 C63 AMG, 2012 C300 4matic, 2008 E92 M3
Congrats on both cars! How do you like the switch? A letter thanking you showing some appreciation never hurt anyone. I mean, look at Bimmerpost.com, it is much more active then this site. BMW has more of a following because advertises performance and handling while MB advertises luxury and safety. If you notice, many new M3 owners are 16 year old's with a car that daddy bought them. They really don't know what anything else is.
The average age of a 3 series buy is 40 but the younger folks also tend to buy BMW's for their performance.

Funny you mentioned it. Back then (7+ years ago) when I was on the market for a Euro auto, my choices where Audi, BMW and Porsche. If you noticed that MBZ was not in that list. The reason was that I didn't like the styling back then. The old MBZ styling was way too old for my taste until the new shape of the CLS came out. Followed by the new shape of the E and C class. The current MBZ styling is more atuned to younger drivers with a touch of luxury.
This is what will help bring MBZ back into the game. I just hope they don't pull a BMW with the AMG Division. ///M use to stand for something a couple years ago. Now, everyone and their grandma has one.

Congrats on the C63, I'm leaving the BMW family as well into my first MB.
I always thought that BMW did it to try and keep their customers by 'ooing and ahhing' them. I wonder why MBZ won't adopt something like that. I'm not in it for the gifts, it's just interesting that MBZ won't do something like that. I got a CF pen when I had my 3 series, and a USB for the 5er, and 6er.

We get gifts from MB Germany for doing surveys on a regular basis. So far we have gotten several cool sets of pens, USB drive (looks like an MB key), Coffee table books and I think the best one so far a portable cooler and grill. Now I can BBQ on my way to Laguna Seca.
