same here, m3 is a true driver's car. the c32 (if that's the case) is fast on the straight, but on the curve it's not good at all

yeah if it's c55 (not out yet) it would be cool, i would like the c55 more than the c32. v8, smoother car, no blower, running NA. though it would be the same speed, but i like no FI

No it's not an AMG car. You can see a small tag behind the front wheel. It says "sport". Only regular C's will get this tag with the sport package. Side skirts and rear bumper do look like an AMG bodykit, but its definatly not a C32.

C55 is out already, they just don't deliver it to the USA. There were some pictures of C55 some where in Middle East.

This is from MBworld.org

Funny, it seems that this car has AMG brake kit ( same silver color at it comes stock from factory ) or probably just an aftermarket brake kit, AMG side skirts and bumper and even exhaust looks like AMG from this angle. Hell may be it's C32, but i just can't get over this little badge, it MUST be "sport", but who knows may be its just say "brabus".

Anyway, waiting to hear more about this car from kyle.

gosh now that's a lot to learn @_@ maybe he wanna be a sleeper? it's funny though, if it's c32, why would he take away the v6 compressor working on the side fender? i would have kept it here most likely

and man, how do you like your car? maybe you can post some pics of yours too

yeah M3 is a better all out blast master, but the C probably represents a better all around car, ie, great power but daily drivability. Nice pics fellas

yo guys...sorry for the confusions and stuffs. this is not a C32 , my other friend has a silver c32 not this black one. the fender badge says" Brabus" on it though however. its a c230 with some engine mod, i like how he mods his car, clean yet has some aggressive side of it.

Well IMO C32 is more like a luxury cruiser, fast, but very comfortable. M3 handles better, but ride is too harsh in my opinion. I also was very satisfied with service and customer care that i got from Hoehn MB dealership in Carlsbad.
