C63 New owner from Portland, OR

Hello! My wife and I just purchased a new car for her as her daily driver. This 2012 is in great condition and has only 47k mi. Her prior cars were the BMW 535ix and 335ix. She loved her 335 but the lease was up and we could step into the 535 and drop our payment by $100 so she thought it was a great idea-3 months later she hated the car! After hearing her ***** and moan about her 535, I suggested we go shopping a few weeks ago. We spotted this car at a local dealer and made the deal.

I have owned and driven some pretty great cars-
Porsche 928
MB 380 SEC
Lexus 400
Lexus 450, 470
Jeep SRT-8
Corvettes
BMW 540i
etc.... But none have had the power to weight ratio as this car. What a blast this thing is to drive! The AMG seats are amazing with their support! I hope my wife will take care of it, but I'm prepared for the reality. BTW, you should have seen the reaction at the dealer when
she asked to drive the car.....





Love the upgraded AMG seats!

Grats on the w204 pickup! I love that interior color combo too! Power, performance, and just enough luxury appointments to keep the wife happy I'm sure.


Let us know if we can help you out with any lighting upgrades for her

Can't imagine doing much to modify this car. It is pretty amazing as a "stock" car.

Thanks! Look forward to being part of the group.
