i like the C63 purely for its sound and intimidating image, imagine that with the detune taken off and up to 530bhp like in the E63???
no need to do much to tune it.

it is much bigger than the 3 series, the C class is like 20cm longer than the 3 series @4.71m,
people forget it is actually a bigger car. C class is facelifted later this year, diff lights and front bumper etc,.
nothing comes close to that exhaust note, it is so EVIIIIIIIIILLLL, imagine that with a titanium exhaust with butterfly valve????
+ it is an auto, no need to fidget with those flaps, u can keep your hands on the pretty girl's thighs as u drive fast>>>>>

Luckily I have driven all c63, m3 and r8.
I would say r8 impressed me the most, it just grip, grip and grip!!
but either of the choices will be well enough for the hk road

How do you like the new 6er is real pingy?
Its not a bad car indeed but looks abit odd in some angles.

I think the car fits very well for those people who can afford to buy one, in short, abit too elegant for me

I saw a set of used 20" Breyton Race GT with tires and I am thinking of getting it.
Deriffic, best tire size in 20 are 245 35 20 in 9" / 285 30 20 in 10". Otherwise, have rubbering or need to rise up your ride.

Thanks bro. The ones available now are 255/30/20 & 295/25/20. Pingu told me that in these sizes, they will rub for sure. But accoding to the owner in which he used them on a 545i before with lowered Bilstein suspension, he did not has any clearing problem. Unfortunately the set does not come with spacers and so I can't try them out.
