very nice have loads of fun.
Have you mod any bars on it?
I planing to do my next mod soon which are the brakes holes and brakes disk but I live my calipas stock.
I will change my ACS 19" wheels for some 19" OZ wheels and may do a remap on the engine too but that will have to be in late 2008.
planing to keep the car until 2012 when the next F10 is OK to buy in HK.

Do you mean strut brace?? Yes..i might get one but i had no idea how much it will be cost and what brands (I know ACS and Breyton got one for our E60 and they are expensive!!)....U've got an ACS one..right?? Does it really can improve the body roll in the fast cornors??

1st I not a fan of MB as some of you guys know and will never in my life get a MB.
Today I tested the C280 Elegance and C350 Elegance.
I must say it is 1000X better than before and the car was OK.
I whated to try out the C230 Elegance but it is not out yet until 2 months time. good job I did not try it out that car will be very slow for what itis. A moped will be faster than this.
Good about the car:
It is very well built.
The car is much more stiffer than before, I say its got about 70% compare to E90, not a boat any more.
Very smooth and quite.
Much better looks in real life than pics, design for much yunger guys in 30 tees..
Brakes are good for stocks.
Roomy inside, feels abit bigger than a 3er E90.
7 speed gearbox, fun to drive but not as fun as the New gear box on E60.
A very big boot, bigger than the E90.
2 moon roof which I have always liked in MB, wish they designed it for the 3er and 5er.
Bad :thumbsdown: about the car:
Too smooth for a fast drive, can no road feel at all. I did not know that I was doing 90km in a 50km road, feels like doing 60km.
Stering wheels is too light, good for old people driving it.
The cost way too much for what itis in HK C280 cost $69000us and C350 $80500us
As in speed and the ride in the C280 :thumbsdown: it feels like a BMW 323ia very slow for a 3L 231hp
As in speed and the ride in the C350 :thumbsdown: it feels abit like my BMW 525ia
3.5L 272hp feels about same as my 2.5L 192hp with mods.
The 7G tronic is shifted from side to side which I`m not used to.
Very hevey car for this size, our E60 or My E60 is lighter than this car
Over all I think they have do a great job for MB lovers. ONLY
Good for people that do not like driving and like to hear almost no sound from outside.
Very bad for people like me that like to drive alot in fast speeds now and then.
