Yep it's a great video (excluding his incorrect assertion about the carbon ceramics) and mirrors most of my own thoughts.The review overall was really good also. Many points he highlighted were on point.
The engine is one of the all time greats and the exhaust note in my opinion is one of the all time greats. Over 10 years old now the engine in question and still keeps up with the newer variants on offer.
What a machine, the engine itself is very very addictive. Had the privilege of owning some amazing engined cars, but the 156 is so special. And always will be.

I'm probably very biased when I say this, but I think the M156 in the C63 is at it's best in wagon form, purely as it's just so incongruous. I'm also more forgiving of its 1800kg kerb weight and slow gearbox in what is an obvious family car.
My thoughts exactly. Except, the engine note is not loud enough from inside (great from outside). Better to drive with windows or roof a crack open. It sounds epic.Yep it's a great video (excluding his incorrect assertion about the carbon ceramics) and mirrors most of my own thoughts.

Yep mine's the facelift with the MCT box. It's OK to use and you learn to get the best from it, but the shifts in M mode are quite laggy.Does yours have the MCT transmission?
I prefer the bigger E in general over the little C

That wagon ☝ looks the part, black with red calipers and subtle tints. Very menacingMy biggest regret, getting rid of my wagon.View attachment 123021
Yes, it's pretty muted inside below 4000 rpm. i put the sunroof tilt open to its slot and that generally fixes it, although not as much as a fully opened window. But you can do sunroof tilt in all weathers.Not loud enough inside lol. Wow, I thibk it's sounds amazing from inside. But even better with a window or roof open, or the rear seats folded down on a saloon

when I listen to the car drive past when my wife's driving it, it sounds like a beast from outside even at low speeds.
I guess that's why they create sound through speakers in newer cars, something I don't like at all.
