my first play

so I got my c43 one week ago now. put it into the shop to have all the fluids drain, new filters, new rear brakes. went to a car meet with my mechanic/friend today. He was driving his friends e36 with pretty much ever available bolt on option. The car was nose and nose with him from a dead start to about 80 or so when we let off. I was very impressed by the power and pick up from my little bone stock c43. Cant wait to mod the **** out of it.

You should be able to run a E36 M3 quite easily, you sure you didnt have it in W mode?

the m wad heavily modded with every bolt on possible. cams, headers, exhaust, chip. blah blah blah....

my car was in W mode. Have to try it in S. Still getting used to all the buttons and learning what everything it.

Either way it was fun and I am pretty impressed with the car. When I was buying the c43 I was also looking at buying an E36. Those were my 2 choices, glad I went with the benz.
