Thumbs up Picked Up My First BS

I can't lie, this is actually my first Benz, lol! I've had a few different cars in the past. Everything from a R8 V10, 996 TT with an EVOMs 660 Kit, Jeep SRT's, SC'd S5, and a Range Rover Sport SC'd.

Initial reactions, this is by far my favorite car of the bunch.

Yeah, the R8 was an epic car. It was somewhat of a daily driver but honestly, if you had golf clubs, you couldn't have another person in the car. I LOVED the sound and power from that thing though, especially after putting the Akrapovic exhaust on it.

The 996TT was awesome, it had more power than I knew what to do with. I made a few modern updates, touch screen, nav, bluetooth, backup camera, etc. But at the end of the day it was to much of a beast to have fun daily driving for the type of driving I do.

The Jeep SRT's and RRS SC'd were both fun SUV's, just not something I want in a daily driver.

Now the BS, it's perfect for the type of driving I do. The sound is epic, the handling is fantastic, the feel of the car overall is awesome. Yeah, it rides a bit harsh, so I can see it not being for some guys but hard riding suspension has never been a worry for me.

Anyways, wanted to make an intro since I never really have.

Cheers!

Welcome. Beautiful color, especially without the aero kit. Sometimes I feel that it detracts from the beauty of this car and the color of yours is too special.

Welcome to the forum! Those aero bits look really good and the color is hot.

Interesting to hear someone coming from an R8 praising the MB even more haha.

It's too aggressive for a regular C63, they should've at least given us wider rear fenders than regular W204's though.

Congrats, I have your twin. This is still one of my favorite cars to drive, it's simply fantastic. (Aside from the embarrassing turning radius) have fun putting those miles on her

The F80 M3 begs to differ. My E46 had more aggressive fenders than my C63.

Thanks fellas!

Yeah, the turn radius is pretty terrible...haha. But, if that's my biggest complaint, I'll consider it an epic win!

Someone asked where I got it from, there's a local MB dealer here in MN called Sears Imports, that's where she's from. It's funny, they had a new 507 edition that I saw prior to going into the show room. I was really excited about that...then I went into the showroom....the rest is history, lol.

Ooh and don't get me wrong about the R8, I LOVED that thing, especially with the Akrapovic exhaust. Driving through downtown hearing that thing echoing was almost as fun as actually driving it hard, lol!

I'll get more pics coming asap!
