I just did. I like this, but I don’t like it. It’s impressive, and slightly tacky at the same time. Like the guy said in the video…it looks good from certain angles, and some not so much. ---

I know this thread is a bit old but I’m throwing around the idea of getting something else as I miss driving around something fun that sticks to the road and doesn’t suck up less than 15mpg. Does anyone have any experience with these? I see Mercedes in Amherst has one. I’ve always wanted an M3 but seeing the M4 I may wait for the used market to get flooded in a few years. I’ve never really considered Mercedes until this… ---

If you end up driving a 45 I would be interested to hear what you think of it. I have not herd much negative about it other than early turbo failure. I have a hunch a lot of people don’t know to let people let the turbo cool before shutting it down,either that or the start stop feature is not setup properly which I highly doubt. 400ish hp with a tune and downpipe is a hell of a lot of power behind that snappy transmission. ---

I spotted one of these driving around yesterday in Syracuse. Black car, red calipers, etc. It actually looked & sounded good but I’m not sure if I’d buy one. ---
