    C2 AMG cherished number on retention

    C2 AMG cherished number on retention for sale I'm trading in my C32 AMG estate for the new Landrover Discovery TDV6 HSE (head ruling the heart I'm afraid) so I'll be putting my cherished number plate C2 AMG on retention to sell. I'll be changing the vehicles at the end of next week so if a...

    Electric window sticking on W203

    The driver's door electric window on my W203 C32 AMG estate sometimes sticks about 4 inches up when using the one touch facility. :mad: It won't go up unless I open it fully (i.e. put it back down) and start again and then it always works perfectly! It doesn't stick every time but...

    How many police does it take to work a camera ??

    Could be right! I remember having an argument with a local about who had the worst car crime figures in England: Manchester (where I live) or Liverpool (where I come from). I won: Manchester's car crime is much higher than Liverpool (he tried to argue that it was because I'm a scouser and live...

    NEW SLK - Top Gear!!!!!!

    Hi Muscat I guess it proves that beauty is in the eye of the beholder! :o The Z4 isn't as popular in the UK as the Z3 was when it was launched probably because the styling is a bit more 'sculpted'. Having said that, the Z3 has quickly fallen from being seen as a stylish roadster to a...

    NEW SLK - Top Gear!!!!!!

    I agree entirely, Gary. Before I bought my current car I tried about 5 others, mostly BMWs. I actually like the new 5 series exterior (from some angles) and I was very impressed by the torquey 530d engine but the interior was awful - so cheap looking! The plastic was low quality and the fake...

    Close Shave With "Blues and Twos"

    Like I said earlier, I'm game for a laugh but maybe you should start a new thread to get more interest?

    Anyone got 25 grand burning a large hole in their pocket?

    I agree about the exclusivity but I've still not seen another C32 estate on the road. Anyone got an idea how many were made and how many brought into the UK? The arguments about V8s versus V6 superchargers will go on and on but Chris Harris from Autocar described the engine in the C32 as...

    Anyone got 25 grand burning a large hole in their pocket?

    Nice... however, I didn't pay much more for my 2001 C32 AMG estate with just 20t miles but despite it having a smaller engine than the C55 I bet the performance figures are better with the newer supercharged motor!! :D :cool: ;) Check this one out on eBay: C32 AMG Estate

    New alloys for C32 AMG

    Thanks aka$h, I saw your post in the classified section but my main concern with the current AMG wheels is that the 17" diameter looks too small and I notice your Dad's Brabus wheels are same size. My last car was a BMW 330Ci convertible which I put 19" M3 wheels on and it looked superb...

    Close Shave With "Blues and Twos"

    Yeah - me too! I need a new set of tyres for the C32 so I might as well see off the current ones off in style! :D

    What a waste of car on a poor driver........

    As I've mentioned once or twice :o I've recently bought a C32 estate and the accelerating ability is quite incredible! Autocar's testers timed a C32 saloon at 4.6 seconds for 0-60mph, 10.8 for 0-100mph and only 3.9 seconds for the all important 30-70mph overtaking comparison. And it wasn't...

    Close Shave With "Blues and Twos"

    I was on the same motorway heading north to Morecambe last Saturday afternoon and, even though I wasn't in a hurry, I had put my foot down in the C32 estate and was doing well over 120mph :eek: :o when I saw the dreaded flashing blue lights in my RVM. Oh sh** I muttered and expected the worse...

    Would YOU sell it??

    As the proud owner of a C32 AMG estate - which is even quicker than the C43 - I love the understated Q car image. And there's no better feeling than seeing Porsche and M3 owners scratching their heads when they realise they've just been out-accelerated by what looks like an ordinary C Class...

    W203 Rain Sensor retrofit ?

    My C32 AMG has the automatic rain sensors and they can be a bit erratic. Sometimes they'll start for no apparent reason on a perfectly dry day...and they always do an initial sweep on start up. Strangely, the rear wiper doesn't work automatically and, I guess like all W203s, has an independent...

    New alloys for C32 AMG

    Hi Tan I've seen the Brabus offer on another thread and my reply was, basically, who the hell would pay over 5Gs for a set of unshod alloys however nice they looked?!! :eek: :D ;)

    New alloys for C32 AMG

    Thanks, saied, I'll get in touch when I've bought the new ones but it won't be in the next few weeks as I've just had the wife's Range Rover 4.6HSE converted to LPG today which has cost me £1100... :(

    10% off Brabus offer

    Big Deal! I recently asked for the latest brochure to be sent to me by Brabus NW so that I could pick some wheels to replace the standard 17" AMG alloys on my C32 estate. When I opened the pages I nearly fell off my seat! Nearly six grand for a set of alloys! (Without tyres by the way...)...
