Thanks, I always go easy during break in, but I'm about to hit 1000 miles and find out. It does feel like a monster.

Congrats. My son-in-law just bought a C63 AMG. It is a hot-rod. Makes wonderful noises and is fast. It’s auto transmission is sublime.

My wife's C350, which is 3yr older than my BMW 128i, has a far better transmission. MB definitely has the transmission part of the equation down pat.

I don't own a Porsche GT3RS, but at least I have similar side skirts now.
Was thinking adding these was going to be more subtle, but these skirts are killer!
Makes my TTS look a lot more aggressive looking.
Only took a couple of hours for me to install.
Also changed the oil while it was up on the ramps.

After 5500+ miles from NJ down thru NC, SC, GA, AL, MS, TX, NM, CO, KS and back along I-70/76, there are a couple of things I want to make my BMW 128i a better car. One I can fix, which is better shocks (hello Koni) and the other I'll have to live with, which is faster variable steering for tight corners on narrow NM mountain roads (NM 126 & 4 are a couple of good ones, along with US64), among others. Only managed the one pic with car in it. Parking lot of the Petroglyph Nat'l Monument in ABQ.

Wow, those look awesome! GT2 or GT3 skirts?
