Switched from beemer to mercedes!! c250 turbo
Wassup everyone. Sold my beemer, purchased 2012 c250 coupe, amg package. Car drives great and the 4 cylinder turbo actually has decent power. I am not familiar with any aftermarket mercedes websites so if anyone can post some good ones for me that would be great! Also i want to chip the turbo. Does anyone know of a good chip for this car? Im clueless, thanks.

Another new C250 owner. Sold wife's '01 325 convertible, put her in a new C250 coupe. It's a 2013.
The ash interior was a big surprise for everyone (us and the dealer) because the seats and the lower dash trim are ash, but the back of the seats, carpets, and door panels are black. So it creates this custom two-tone look. REALLY nice. They have no idea what these will look like when they order them, they work off a spec sheet and photos so no idea how the actual car(s) will come out.
Got the new polar-white exterior. I wanted her to get the imperial blue with tan interior, but the white with ash was just so stunning while the tan is pretty mono-tone throughout. The white car doesn't look too bad with the black glass top either.
My dealer orders amg wheels for all their cars which I wasn't very excited about because we just came from the old bmw that had the same tire sizes and they are stupid expensive. Oh well. The amg wheels are staggard, 255-35-18 rear and 225-40-18 fronts. Nice wheels, especially for a thousand bucks, but would much rather have had square 17's. Again, oh well.
Also, this car was wired for the new Becker nav system, so we popped for that, just $600. They didn't even have one, supposed to be in later this week. It's a puck looking box of electronics that plugs into the pre-wired reciever in the glovebox. Nice feature for very little money.
Becker is still the original company that made the radios for the old cars. I have a Becker Corona AM FM radio in my 1979 240D. Wow. The more things change the more they stay the same.
The car is just fantastic to drive. As long as you're not pushing it hard it is very quiet and smooth. And getting 25mpg average. If you rev it you can tell it's a 4-banger. She's pretty mellow so the car really suits.
The sport seats in the coupe are REALLY nice. We're really excited about the car. Also drove a 325i sedan with their new turbo-4, also a very nice car. The benz is just a little more luxury oriented, so again, it suits.
