Picked up a Daily C300
Picked up a new daily yesterday, with the approval from my lovely wifey.
I still gave S2000 a thought for the job, gave it a few tries for a couple of weeks, but S2000 failed. (no torque, okay mpg, hard to get in/out (my Recardo has to do a lot with it..), loud interior, and jaw shattering ride). S2000 will shine in the garage and the track events from now. />/>
I've had a few MBs so it's basically the same MB as others. Rock solid, comfortable, luxury, torquy, safe, quite, 4 doors, 7 speed tranny(about 2000rpm @ 75mph, beat that S2000!), good mpg(avgd 32 when I made home). Just what a perfect car (not a race car, but a car) should be.
On to some pictures:
this interior rocks. easy to get in/out, comfortable, bluetooth, good seat support, and the best thing is the flat-bottom steering with thumb-grips. It feels and looks a lot better than our dated S2000 wheel.
Overall, I'm 100% satisfied with the car and the purchase. If you are in the market go see Jay Lee at Benzel Busch in Englewood, NJ. Very professional rep, no BS like others.
Was looking at 328i also but I didn't like the engine sound, shape of the front (looks like an angry bird), felt numb at the wheel, and the drive in the C300 was better as far as "being connected with the car" goes. Very weird how their roles have changed. A few years ago BMWs were the "ultimate driving machines". Now we are realizing others have caught on and BMW is slowing losing its touch. I've recently read a review on the new 6 vs the new SL. SL basically stompted on the 6 in every performance category except the back seats. What is going on?

??? why so angry? I'm not comparing them, if i thought they were similar, I would've never bought the new car in the first place. I've stated the difference between the 2. this thread isn't even about my s2000. yes, you said it, two different cars, so I wrote the difference about them to share. WTF?

I haven't driven the MB, but I own a e90 335 and it's a very good car. And the mags are saying the f30 is better from a drive/handling perspective. But it's different strokes for different folks. Nice looking ride!

if you have nothing better to contribute to my thread please keep them to yourselves and leave.
is this what some of the S2ki members are saying?; this forum is getting stupid by the second? is this why i get paranoid parking my S2000 on the streets, worring about little dumb a$$es stealing my car?
even the Moderators are this low and ignorant?
please delete this thread. it's a shame S2ki.com have became the next honda-tech.com
