Greetings fellow Fanatics

Thought I'd post a Showroom Thread despite my car not being a BMW/Mini (please forgive me hehe). But before that, a little backstory...

I joined BMWFanatics back in 2020 but at that stage I was just a broke university student admiring what the Forum had to offer. Fast forward a few years (and with a little money in the bank now), my interest in BMWs peaked, so I started engaging on the platform with the hopes of owning a BMW one day.

After annoying a couple of you with requests to buy your pride and joy, things just wouldn’t align. I was close to pulling the trigger on @Woodies M140i but something came up and it just wasn’t the right time for me.

Prior to the new purchase, I drove a Fiesta ST180 for 5 years. Had her since new and she served me extremely well. Although she offered everything I needed, I missed one thing - SOUND! Which brings me to the 6.208 litre sitting in my garage….

Introducing my 2011, Iridium Silver W204 C63 AMG Sedan Facelift. She's got just over 98 000km on the clock and is in fairly good nick. She needs some tender love and care here and there but nothing serious.

Modifications carried out by previous owners:

- Painted 507 Style Front Grille Surrounds (Gloss Black)
- Painted Mirror Covers (Gloss Black)
- Painted Factory Bootlid Spoiler (Gloss Black)
- Painted Rear Diffuser (Gloss Black)
- Painted Fog Light Surrounds (Gloss Black)
- Front Bumper License Plate Holes Filled And Resprayed
- BMC Filters
- PPF On Headlights

I would love to use this platform to document and share my ownership experience with you all. I'd also like to thank @Coisman for all his assistance. He is without a doubt an asset to this community.

I do also hope to add a BMW to the garage in the future, @///Dees I’m looking at you hehe.

Thanks for reading and I look forward to engaging with you all!

Regards,

Justin

Enjoy! I've got the same facelift sedan.. love it. Something about these motors with that box and convenience of 4 doors.
MCT gearbox is a game changer compared to the pre facelift 7G Tronic unit. Has a nice pop in between shifts too. But nowhere close to the DCT shift speed in the E9x M3.

Classic. These are going to be good news long term as investments

They seem to be holding value well. And general maintenance costs such as brakes/pads/servicing are surprisingly reasonable from dealers.

The older M156 motors had head bolt issues which were rectified with the release of the facelift. In saying that, I hope she doesn't give me any significant headaches in the future 🤞

I love these cars. The sound these things make is amazing. Also looking to get one but good examples are hard to come by (without paying an exorbitant premium).

Are you looking for the coupe or sedan? If coupe, I know of someone that has a clean car and he might be willing to sell. PM if interested (y)
