AMG GLC 63s
First MB after many BMWs
Hi guys, my first post here to introduce myself to the forum. I've ordered my first AMG (A45) which is due in April.
MB is all new to me, I've never looked at Mercedes before and have always been a BMW person, the last car (for 5 years) being a supercharged E92 M3 V8 which was quite a unique car and heavily modified
Like a number others in the BMW camp I was disappointed the brand dropped the V8 in favour of a 6 and realise BMW has lost many to the magnificent new C63S Coupe or sedan. It seems Audi will be going down the same path dropping the V8 range from many of the RS models leaving AMG as the king of the mountain.
After first looking at AMG I was quite amazed at the quality, power and inclusions of the car and now with a new AMG A45 on order can't wait to get on the road and track with this little rocket
The car on order is cosmos back with the Aero and locking diff options. Keeping it stock may prove a challenge but the car is very impressive and quick. First mods likely to be Forgeline VX1 monoblock wheels and suspension.
Does anyone have recommendations on suspension?
Cheers
Dave

The A45 is a great car, and a good solution and while I'd naturally prefer the C63 S coupe but at double the price it's not an option.

Very nice E90!! I sold a 2003 M5 and was going to build an E38 M7 but sold my S62 and Estoril blue E38. I still have my LSx 427 powered E39 touring though. If interested, have a look here.

Thanks 
I'm really surprised at what seems to be a whole raft of changes in the "facelift" version apart from the suspension settings and power. Even the seats are a bit different and the wheel offset seems to be quite a bit more aggressive. Looking forward to reporting on this little rocket. Looking at wheels and suspension now

Yes, I don't get it, I would have thought these would have been very popular, but something about hatches. I believe there is no RS3 Audi in USA either.... although we can't buy a C7 Z06 here either and they would be so popular

Welcome to MBWorld, Dave! I agree it's a shame about dropping the V8's. Have the B7 RS4 here and the thing that I absolutely love about it is that it has a V8. Anyways, congratulations and be sure to share some pictures when you can.
