Hi all,

My friend is thinking about buying one of these Motors.

They're supposed to be 350 BHP!!!

...Has anybody here ever been in one?


Thanks
 
Sure have. My friend used to own one. Power is smooth, and the delivery is awesome. It's by no means a sports car, just an extremely rapid, comfortable saloon. I drove it a few times and thought it was a cracking car. Doesn't look overly different to the standard W203s, so it's definitely a sleeper (if de-badged).
 
Gentlemans M3 :)

Automatic only I believe and you can't fully switch off the traction control but it is a very quick car and very capable.
The 3.2 is supercharged, the later 5.5 model isnt and power is similar.

Quite cheap now too, they depreciate well!
 
yep, the older model, pretty sure it was not supercharged. Nice car, great smooth power delivery, nice acceleration but no real ferocity in it. No match for an M3, its more of a comfortable cruiser with a powerful engine.
 
even this shape one?

94-01 shape C Class, such as the one Clarkey posted, was available in two forms:

C32 AMG - 3.2 litre normally aspirated V6. Something like 280bhp?
C43 AMG - 4.3 litre normally aspirated V8. About 350ish?

Then the current shape 01- C Class was available as:

C32 AMG - 3.2 litre SUPERCHARGED V6
C55 AMG - 5.5 litre normally aspirates V8

Each model replaced the previous, they were not available concurrently.
