Took the E43 for its first proper drive since buying it in December. You guys's in the x63s must be masochists :p

I've had the 6.2 C63 and currently the 4.0 C63, I don't know what AMG were smoking when they said the new 4.0 bi-turbo was more fuel efficient.....because it ain't! Maybe on a long motorway jaunt but not had chance to do that becuase of 'rona.

its show us your motor, not show us your dials ! :p :D

Could argue that's infotainment now in the age of all digital dials.

Looks mean. The MJ interior I could get used to, but those wheels stand out so much better in Titanium or similar IMO.

Does the sports pack contain the diff? It’s a while since I had a B8 so can’t remember.

I’m sure you’ll enjoy the car either way :cool:

Yeah it has the diff and I’d consider changing the wheels at some point - I do like the both the titanium rotors and the v-spoke.
Might need to get a milltek first though :)

Only the second one I've seen in the 3 1/2 years I've been living here, and there's currently a grand total of 0 for sale in the entire country.

I got it for about 1/3 of what they normally go for as the bonnet wouldn't open, temperature gauge wouldn't work, and various plastic trim pieces were damaged. I fixed the bonnet by reconnecting the cable, fixed the temperature gauge by doing a reset with the battery terminals, and when the border opens again I'll go get all the plastic parts from a breakers. I'd love to keep it long term but the temptation to sell it on for a profit is high, especially as it's not something I can drive every day.

@Howard feel free to come over if you want to be attacked by an electric seat again.
