Also when it came down to replacing the pads and rotors I wasn't too excited to see Mercedes' marked up bill. Also, as far as mods go on the C63, most Mercedes service departments frown upon anything that's not AMG. Apart from that, things kept bringing me back to the service bay like the temperamental black series seats and squeaky interior parts.

hmm..so for the most part it was headache free ownership.

Tires/oil/gas/brakes costs are indeed key factors. man I would have traded spots with you! take my M3, I'll take your P31!

Is there good indy shop and competitive parts pricing similar to what we have on the M3 side?

Welcome man, i went from a 2009 E90 M3 to a 2010 R35 GT-R to a 2011 C63 AMG and im back in a E92 M3. As much as i liked the other cars and the c63 there is no question that out of the bunch the m3 is the drivers car. Congrats on your ride and welcome to the community.

You took the correct decision! Congratulations

I'm pretty new around here myself but was a "Mercedes man" for some years before owning BMWs.

If you enjoy driving you'll probably never go back!

Congrat! What's a notable difference you've felt between two cars? I'm still debating for my DD!
