I actually almost bought one of those, there was a 2008 (I think) new old stock (90km on it...) for sale last year, but the cost of upkeep/modding a V10 scares me. Especially when my V10 R8 owning friends tell me they spent like 20k on headers.

One major gripe I have to share with all you DCT owners, the C63 is an automatic. When you pull the paddle... 3 seconds later she shifts. Coming from DCT and DSG cars I kept pinging off my redline trying to shift. I miss instant shifting, and the amazing sound downshifting an M3 makes. The C63 does revmatch and blip, but it's not the same.

Does anyone here winter drive an E92? Are they decent? My C63 is on studded winters, and even then it's not amazing.
