A different ?
 
I was looking online and found a 2002 C32 that was about a few thousand more than a 99 E55 I asked about earlier. Can the C32 compare to the 99 E55? Which one would be most likely relieable as far as common problems with each model? Thanks

That's what I was thinking...but what about the supercharger in the C32?

C32 is faster and easier to mod.

I know, but the C32 is a supercharged V6 that has about the same HP and 0-60 times. This is for 1998-2000 E55 and 2002 C32. That's about all I know. These things are so close, so which do I go for? That's the real question.

Thanks

I want the one that handles like a dream. I just sold my C230 and it handled awesome. I know it doesn't compare to these two though.

What can you mod on the C32, that maybe cheaper on not done to the E55?

C32 is s/c. All you need to do is get a ECU tuning and a bigger pulley and you will be over 400hp easy. E55 requires alot of work since its N/A. C32 will outhandle the E55 too, especially if you get coilovers like Bilstein PSS9's or KW's.
