Coming to the Darkside. C63 owner to be!

[Jules-B]

Hi all
Just thought i would introduce myself.

Im Julian (Jules) im a young one at 21, but got bitten by the car bug hard (this will be car number 11 in 4 years!!)

Currently selling my BMW e92 coupe
BMW : 400BHP Autovogue 335i e92

Looking at purchasing a C63 amg w204, which will be my first Merc

I drove one the other day and quite liked it, but it wasnt as fast as i expected!. Is there a dramatic difference once they are mapped?

My other concern is the gearbox. I have only owned manuals up to now, and i dont know wether ill be able to get used to the Auto!

Looks like a nice forum, and ive got my eye on the trip to AMG Germany!

The hardest part however, is that i cant choose between white and black!

Thanks
Jules

Welcome to the forum. Sounds like you'll fit right in!!

Remapping with some choice mods will release some extra urgency, although it will be less noticeable than in the 335i.

Brilliant fun. My brother had one, I always reckoned it was the fastest thing in the world upto about 7mph!

I think someone should mention that in reality you were coming *from* the dark side.

Welcome anyway.

Welcome

Its took you 11 cars to find out you NEED a merc


Cool

 

[Jules-B]

Thanks for the welcome!

Got my eye on a few cars at the moment, ive noticed alot of mis-advertising though. Mainly confusion about the Performance Pack. Hopefully i can get a good deal!

My first car was a 1.2 clio, horrible thing!...And yes, it has taken me a while to realise i need a merc!

What's the old saying.. 'when you need to be seen arriving you buy a BMW and once you've arrived you buy a Mercedes'
Hello and welcome. I had a Lancia Delta HF turbo when I was 21. That was fun. Now I'm stuck with a small fleet of oil burning taxis a wonderfully indestructible Hilux Surf and my C36 toy. Not a C63 granted but good fun!

Welcome!
