Evening all, just thought I'd say a quick hello. I picked up a facelift C63 PPP estate on the weekend and loving every moment of it. I've owned a C63 coupe in the past so I'm not new to the whole M156 experience, but wow how I've missed it! It seems even more bonkers in estate form as the car looks so understated from the outside 
It's really great as it is but I've got a few plans in the pipeline...
1) It's currently on 18" wheels with winter tyres which are really good for grip and ride comfort. But I'm a sucker for a bit of 19" bling so I'm on the lookout for some 19" alloys which I'll use in the warmer months.
2) I'm not sure if my ears have got worse, but the glorious sound of the M156 doesn't sound quite as loud as I remember from the drivers seat...? Maybe the estate bodyshell doesn't transmit sound like the coupe. Definitely have plans for a secondary cat delete and/or resonator.
3) Quaife/wavetrack LSD. My coupe had an LSD and it really helped the drivability of the car.
4) Upgrade the Comand head unit. It really does date the car and being an early facelift car it doesn't have audio bluetooth streaming for music, only for calls. I know I can buy the bluetooth module but I'd rather put the money towards upgrading the entire Comand unit.
Right, I'm off for a drive...
