To sell or keep my- 63

[Jovie]

I searched long and hard for my ideal C63 coupe. I must have searched for over six months.
In the end I found it, Edition 125,Magnetite,cream and black leather, Performance pack, diff, wheels, etc. (this is not a pitch) I think this car has the complete spec.
Anyway a year later I'm wondering whether I should keep it or sell it, the car is just too hooligan for me and every time I am out I can't resist doing what C63's do best.
The thing is I know it's the last of a breed and I remember when i sold my E46 M3. Again this was a low mileage highly specced car and the only reason I sold it was that I wasn't using it much.
However fast forward a few years and all the bad ones are dead and generally the only E46 M3's you see now are immaculate. Mine could have been one of those.
I just know the same thing is going to happen with the C63.
As the values plummet people who can't really afford them will begin to buy them crash them and wreck them.
5-7 years from now they will be a rare sight and only the best will still be available.
Then there's that engine!!!

Sorry I just posted the same over on PH

I searched for agggeeees for my current C63. In the end got a lovely example...

I've thought about what I could replace it with in the future and the only thing that comes to mind is the new C63 or AMG GT... I love the car that much doubt Id sell it now.

Only annoying thing is crazy fuel prices coupled with a M156....

I totally understand your point which is why I stayed away from the C & bought the E. The whole E46 M3 issue will unfortunately happen to the C and has already begun judging by what I have seen down here in Essex. Young inexperienced drivers with high mileage C63's on cheap rubber Perhaps you should consider the E for this reason? Most have PP so you get 525bhp as stock + lsd & other options as standard and they are very rare on the road. More of a sleeper which really catches people out . Everyone hears the C coming but not the E as it's more stealthy if you want to stay with the M156 engine then surely this has to considered

I'm actually not thinking of replacing it with anything just yet.
I just know it will get me into some serious trouble.
I might just go back to bikes. (yes I know they kill quickly).
This thing is as fast as most bikes. But weighs two tonnes.
I'll probably sell it, regret it after a few months and then buy another car that is just as mad. If such a car exists.
Having said that, I had no time to fuel up this evening so I had to drive the ten miles to work very gently and it was a wonderful smooth relaxing and enjoyable drive. Pity I don't drive this way normally.
