C43 AMG Coupe

Not too far off topic but I bought a C450 AMG. *blush* I drove it, loved it, and got a killer deal on it. Thank you marketing execs for rebranding!

Badge update for $50. Oops, if you need the AMG for the right side, it's probably three times that.

i would check if they have fog lights

The first could years of US MSport cars didn't have fogs, but yeah that would make it a bit more noticeable

bringing this thread back from the dead. My 435 Gran Coupe is off lease this summer, and the C43 coupe is one of the only things catching my eye for under $60k new. M2 is too small and I'd just keep my 435 if I stay with BMW.

I'm seeing some big discounts on C43 merc. with a performance exhaust, they sound mean. performance seems legit. nice ride blend of comfort & sport. luxurious interior. only beef is the stupid iPad screen stuck to the dash and I'm hearing the 9 speed auto doesn't shift as crisp as the BMW zf.

any recent thoughts on this C43?

Nice looking car with more power than the average knuckleheads can use.

I love my C43. Every time I think about it, look at it, sit in it, or drive it I am happy I passed on all 4 opportunities I had to buy an M2.
