Buying advice wanted

In fact I'd say for the 1st 2 years of ownership of my c63, it was literally just an oversized musical instrument, I used to drive it mostly to try and get as many pops and bangs out of the exhaust all the time for my immature childish amusement. S+ was my favourite mode for that. Also revving it hard towards the red line and shifting would cause a huge whip like bang. Though from a pops and bangs perspective it had nothing on the 2017 Gla, which was just on another level. I need to get my w212 sorted ASAP, it has some catching up to do on the noise front though the engine seems to have a lot of talent for making a huge racket

Not sure i've heard the sound you describe on upshift near the red-line, but that is more to do with the fact I rarely get a chance to get up there (and up until Monday this week I had rear tyres who looked like the late Telly Savalas's head - so hard and sustained acceleration was almost impossible on damp roads).

Of course, i'm now going to see if I can hear said noise when I got out later tonight - would be rude not to I like you have had random people ask me to rev it, notably a teenager at a bus stop whilst I was queuing in traffic. They really are a special car, even though they don't look exotic, people who know what they are really appreciate them.

Only at certain RPMs can't remember what unless you have the valve mood fitted which opens them from start up 1st button I press followed by the start stop button
No point having a quiet V8 AMG

Yes even with the button they only half open until 3k or WOT

the valve mods are much better in comfort mode when your driving along can hear that V8 rumble more without mashing the throttle

Yeah I think you need to put your foot down hard In order to hear the whip crack upshifts on the 205 c63 but it is very much worth the cost in rubber and petrol

Don’t need to mate if your in sport+ and manual mode anything over 3k you just tap the throttle very quickly and lift off and you will get pops and burbles

If you are looking for a C63 Touring drop me a note as I may be looking to sell mine and it may suit you and your needs.
