Not entirely true but unlikely a dealer is going to dig that deep into the ecu. It took my dealer like a week just to figure out the car was on a kleeman tune

C63
I thought the C63 looked cheap on the inside as well... To much plastic. But the car was just too bad *** to pass up. Someone on this board pointed me in the rightndirection ansnsent me to MACarbon. These guys do great work and can give you all the carbon fiber you could use on the interior. completely changes our view of C63 interior . Check it out.

^ lol indeed. Then again, 37K miles on an immaculate condition 2006 for $31K was nearly impossible to pass-up. Warranty and everything, I'm $38K out the door, which ain't even the entry ticket to a C63 or M3 sedan here. Quite frankly, and despite my hate towards bimmers (mainly M3s), this M5 looks quite the thing in my garage. I actually like a BMW for once. I've already gotten so many looks on a sole drive out last night. People everywhere turned their and heads and thought, "Wow, dick!". Good ol' days

Ha, well, as long as you're happy that is what counts. Sick car for sure and I'll pray that SMG holds up for you.

^ thanks. You know, after reading up on SMG, it doesn't appear to be that bad. Should it fail, the warranty will pay itself off, and give me a chance upgrade clutch at the same time. When my turbo wagon dies, I'm definitely going to grab a 135i for DD. Thanks for getting me to know the N54 well.

C63 AMG
Most people have no clue as to the age of a car so yes people probably turn and look. A nice legit car, like the one he decided on, can be any number of years old.
Just my .02 cents on a comment like that.
