david 335is · 06-20-2012, 09:59 PM

Two fine engineered cars sitting there

Mercedes lost a few points with me because of the merger with their unequal counterpart, but that is a beautiful car! My brother-in-law has a s55 AMG and loves it. Hope the navi is better in it than BMW's, haha.

nukezero · 06-20-2012, 10:25 PM

nice! i like these new Merc coupes. very, very sharp lines with an "executive" muscle looking stance. The e92 is a sporty young professional looking stance. But the Merc speaks like "i just got a promotion with a corner office" kind of attitude.

335isWhite · 06-20-2012, 11:14 PM

It is worth it only if you go with C63 AMG, I love those exhaust pipe and roar in C63.

Why is that? There was no impact to MB engineering.

QC335 · 06-20-2012, 11:28 PM

I think the MB badge needs to be a little bigger.

Congratulations!

The c-coupe actually looks much much better in person rather than in a picture.

True. I guess I've never really been impressed with domestic cars, for example, Ford, Chevy (although their new line of SUVS are very nice) etc. So when the merger happened the prestigiousness of the brand may have diminished *for me*. But you're right, totally a personal opinion here, nothing about engineering. I guess my brother-in-law had a s600 pre-merger and an s55 post-merger and kept making comparisons on quality (interior). I love the new Mercedes body styles though, although I would prefer a slightly smaller emblem.

~ i agree way too big... working on a new cf grill.

mods so far:
~ full clear bra
~ 50% tint on all windows including the front
~ dust-free pads (front & rear)
~ spacers (5mm front & 10mm rear)
~ bm tuning via software
~ painted front bumper reflectors
~ debadged

andrew 330i · 06-24-2012, 07:50 AM

~ an interior pic ... the inside is outstanding...

XMetal · 06-24-2012, 11:35 AM

How does it drive compared to the bimmer?

SaMaster14 · 06-24-2012, 03:52 PM

I think the C coupe is one of the nicest looking cars on the road in its class. It also probably drives smoother than it's BMW counterpart, and that interior looks like it has more bells and whistles as well.

Did you get a C250 or C350? I'm curious to know how the C250 compares with the 328i. I know that the C350 performs better than the 328i, but can't come close to its 335i coupe counterpart when it comes to performance.

MisterSkiMask · 06-24-2012, 11:48 PM

Nice, I've been considering a switch to Audi...

andrew 330i · 08-17-2012, 07:53 AM

~ ahhh... look what has finally arrived from germany (via fedex) after 2 months of waiting ... they will be installed next thursday... time to eliminate the gap.

also added the 19" SL63 replica wheels (8.5 & 9.5)... retains the factory look with an up size.

ptack · 08-17-2012, 02:25 PM

I think that's just called getting old.

NemesisX · 08-17-2012, 04:44 PM

20 posts in and you have yet to answer what trim that is (C250 or C350).
