My First Mercedes: '10 C63 Performance Package

hey guys,

so i've been a BMW guy for years now. I had an 02 3.0i X5, '10 M sport 335i, and a '10 e92 M3. the e92 M3 was giving me a lot of problems, one of which being the motor blew on it. BMW replaced it because it was a defect, but ever since that replacement everything else seems to be falling apart as well. BMW of fairfax provided me with the worst possible service they possibly could and when i contacted BMW NA the lady i got kept telling me there was nothing she could do for me. So i test drove the c63s and fell in love! pulled the trigger on this one below on my birthday! (i wanted arctic white but it sold in one day ). this motor is so powerful and so torquey! so far I'm loving it and adjusting to leaving bmw after all these years.

any mod suggestions are welcome, i look to delete the ambers (thinking of smoking them?) and i am looking for a front lip and rear diffuser in carbon fiber. all the vendors i know of are bmw vendors so I'm looking for some mercedes vendors besides ebay, although i did find some nice cf lips on ebay for like $300.

anyways my rant is over, and i look forward to this new ownership experience, and what this forum can teach me

here are some quick pictures (photoshoot soon) and video i took with my new GoPro HD 2

Congratulations on your new car.

Always good to see another ex-Bimmer driver get seduced by a C63.

thanks! i still can't believe how much torque this thing has. BMW really takes that torque experience from you.

Wow, interesting! untitled and 5,700 miles? Did you find a dealer demo or something? Still seems like high miles for a demo but maybe not?

yeah it came to the dealer with mobil 1 stickers so it must have been some kinda display car or something. good deal and in awesome condition so i thought why not.

Lol, he might have confused the P30 PP with the P31.
I would look into Quaife LSD. Alot of guys on here are running them.

Geez, now I'm confused again! I thought the P31 had the P30 as a built in sub-set option! I was thinking the LSD, top speed bump, and wheel were the P30, and the P31 was all that + red calipers, suspension change, and steer wheel change.

when theres about 4+ M motors that blew on the east coast, and when you have a dealership as bad as BMW of Fairfax, and M cars with such little torque, its hard to suck all that up and stay with BMW.

so I'm still playing around with the GoPro HD 2 and I made another exhaust video. pretty loud for stock, but not loud enough

and the M5 next to it sounds like this. I'll give it to BMW, that V10 is up there for one of the best sounding motors!
