Start modding another car, not another w210 because as many of us can see, you already mastered that haha. Go for the C36 (H)

It's hard finding a C36/43 in general.

I would go with the C36 though to be honest - Actually the C43 if you can find one with low miles and in good condition. It would be a nice project since I really don't see those modded to extreme levels.

Alex,

Just my 2 cents. Go for a W210. You can get a used W210 for cheap now(especially the E55's) a days. It has roomier space than the C-class so more mod potential. Good luck bro.

if i was you, id wait and get something other than the 210. Its apparent that you have already conquered this chassis. lol. Id go for the c36 or c43, they look nuts when modded.

hahahah........huy, i don't want a kid.....i don't feel like moding a kid.......pimp my son.......LOL

as for getting a w210 e55, i would love to but it'll be out of my price range fore the time being, then i would be able to get a w211 e55 or w209 clk55.....thats the project i want to do next year.......

i sorta have another e320 at a bodyshop.....it has some minor little things but no bodywork needed....it belongs to my dads friend and he was going to give it to me for free but now might change his mind and give it to his daughter so thats up in the air.....

i would love a c36 but being rare, finding the car and or deal might be hard and then if it breaks down, parts might be hard to find i believe.....

so i'm still not sure what all this means but not working at the moment sorta makes it hard to buy anything.......

Alex, from what Ive seen, you know how to tastefully mod ur car..

I think its a bad idea going from big to small( e to c)

My opinion...get that CLK 55 W209..because I ****in love that car and I want to see what you can do to it.

CLK 55 FTW!!!

got a quick question for you 2...

between an E46 m3 and a w209 CLK55 amg

where would u go.....

dumb question right hahahahaahah

yea, some have told me the same......going from E to a C is small but my other daily driver was a e30 bimmer which was a coupe and is very small compared to the E and my current lexus es is smaller but decent......i guess i can always do up a w210 in the future but i might just hold off and save up to do the clk55 if i get one......

as far as the m3 vs clk.....thats a tough one......i havn't drivin a clk55 but have m3's serveral times.....clk55 has more hp but i guess the m3 handles better.....i guess it all depends on taste.......i personly love both of them.....i saw a hot asian chic in a clk209 yesterday and it was fixed up, lowered with rims but looked so good.......

If you get the 210 for nothing or even close to nothing then what are you waiting for??? Just do something different with it and it will be original by you all over again. If not then a CLK will be nice also, you could probably get crazy with that bad boy. The W211 E55's are still very expensive but if you have the cash for that then go for it! Good luck bro and let us know...

ya i gotta see how deep my pockets are.... it all depends what the heck i want to do.....taking a w210 and trying to be different is done, i think i already pulled that off so doing another one would be clean and i have in mind what i want to do but i'll tell you this, its been done before.......

clk is what i really want so i might just have to sit on my a$$ without having a moded car until i have enough to buy the car and pay for all the mods upfront
