Hey whats up you guys

Im new to the forum. Im on E90 post lol but like i drive a 335i right now which ill post a picture of below. I already started to part out so hopefully its gone soon. Im trying to get a C63 by the end of the year. I plan on modding the crap out of that car. The problem is i don't know much about the modding scene here. I just hope this car doesn't give me problems like my past 2 335is

If its not too much to ask can you guys post some well modded cars in this thread.

oh yeah one last thing what are some good Mercedes Dealerships with good sales men in socal

Compared to alot of other cars, modding is pretty limited for the C63. From what I gather, its mainly cause if things break, they are very spendy. Blow your motor, your looking at $10-$20k depending on your source.

For what you can mod, options are pretty limited.
No aftermarket sways.
KW is the only quality coilover manufacturer. Otherwise your stuck with companies like BC, Raceland, etc. No Ohlins, Bilsteins, ASTs, Motons, JRZs that I've seen.

The motor is pretty much optimized from the factory. A safe simple tune will yield 50+whp, other than that, your looking at headers and superchargers ($$$$$). Things like cams, intake manifolds, injectors, fuel systems, are virtually non-existant.

LSD is a must, and you can get Wavetrac, Quiafe, and OSG if it doesn't already have one.

Aftermarket body parts are pretty plentiful. Especially in carbon.

Well said except that some members have the cams in their c63s. Besides that, you wont be able to mod it as much as you can mod the 335.
