Thank you

Thanks, will give that a go.

Are you saying that if I use the paddles to change up a gear the gearbox will learn and remember this 'behaviour' in full auto mode? Thanks

Hi I thought it might be useful having an owners thread for the E43. The car will have many things in common with other MB cars but somethings will be unique. I've had the car 48hrs now and have configured the individual dynamic select as follows 1) Drive train = sports 2) Steering = sports...

Thanks to all. I will look into the other modules recommended.

You need to drive it to really appreciate that what they say in the reviews is true, it does not drive like a SUV at all. It drives like a very well sorted mid sized sports saloon. It's quite amazing actually and I fell in love with it when I drove it. The reasons I didn't buy it are 1) It's...

Thank you. Does the module actually improve the handling characteristics or is it for aesthetics only? I googled 'programma' and nothing relevant came up. Any further info?

Pretty sure they were, yes. I also managed to get about three punctures, not sure if that was just bad luck or something to do with the tyres.

Bear in mind I've owned the car for less than 24 hours. On the whole its a far less visceral experience, the engine noise is muted, the cabin is eerily quiet of road/tyre noise, you sit higher up. The gearbox isn't as well set up for sporty changes. You can put it in sport + mode but then it's...

You'll love the C63, it's just one of those very special cars that can do.so many things....but at its heart is that monster engine. The e43 is a very different proposition...I hope I don't get bored of it.

True, it's a tad too quiet and refined for a sporting saloon.

Thanks. Its for an E43 AMG saloon, which as far as I know does have air suspension. If that's all it does then it's a heck of a lot of money.

Hi The information on the Brabus website is scant. Does this just drop the suspension by up to 30mm like aftermarket springs would or does it do something more clever? Thanks

Saying goodbye to my MY 2014 c63 amg estate today after having owned it for 3.5 years. I will be picking up my new e43 amg saloon so quite a change. I emptied out all the rubbish from the car today including bundles of receipts. I've had the car 3.5 years and have only put about 12k miles on...

Ok, so I'm a bit confused about the relationship between Brabus and MB. I'll call Brooklands tomorrow to clarify. If a no questions asked warranty is retained I'll go for it. Given the price of the car, £2.5k to release another 50 horses and sleep easy with a full warranty isn't too bad imho...

I've just googled it and it seems the Brabus remap no longer retains the MB warranty as it once did. So it would be a Brabus warranty on the engine. I know Brabus have been around for ages but I would worry that in the unlikely event of a major engine failure Brabus and MB would just point the...

I don't think an extra 50 horses might help....it would definitely help! I think all remaps including piggy back devices leave a clear trail no matter what tuners claim. That's why I have never remapped a car since my young days of owning jap stuff. There is no way I would risk the warranty on...

I'll try and post a pic later. It's black with beige interior, premium pack plus, carbon fibre interior package, 20 inch alloys. Ex demo, 6 months old with 4k miles on the clock. I must say it doesn't feel as fast as the 0-60 time would suggest and doesn't feel anywhere near as fast as the c63...

Just thought I'd update. I drove the saloon a few weeks back, drove the estate two days ago and then went back and drove the saloon again yesterday. To me it seemed that the saloon handled better, enough to make a difference. It might be my imagination but I also felt the saloon felt faster. I...

I have a 2013 c63 amg and there is some crabbing in the cold weather
