Bought it a few weeks ago, a C43 AMG Estate!
Sold the 944 and the 306 as I only wanted 1 car that can be used every day and also be used for a bit of fun.
The car was first registered on 1st Jan 2000! Its got 80,000 miles but to me feels like it is brand new. Its fully debadged at the rear so not much gives it away, till I put my foot down. And to top it off, the sound of a V8 cloud9

Just one niggly thing, air con isn't blowing cold. I'd asked the dealer to sort it out before I got the car, picked it up on a cooler day so it felt cold, but it wasn't. So just have to keep complaining to him till it gets sorted.

A few pics:





Not my beemer (or my house), but a mate's that I'm trying to convince to get a 560SEC instead of it biggrin

Two tone leather always comes out a bit white in pictures for some reason, but its light silver and doesnt look as tacky as it seems in the pics. Also bought some floor mats for it, making the interior look a bit tidier.


Oh and does anyone know the best way to get rid of the mobile phone holder thing? It looks like its just glued on, so it should be possible to remove it without damaging the dash, I just don't know how.

Nice looking beast that, hope you enjoy it.

Try some hot air on the mobile holder, from a hairdryer or similar, it will usually loosen the glue a bit.

Feels like 300bhp to me... although it also feels like 1.6 tons. And enough torque to make the car rock from side to side when pressing the throttle biggrin
