What model MB’s are there that are sporty and have a STICK transmission…

I must stress that the most, i know all the amg’s are like autotragic. but was curious to know what sporty sedans they have that are stick…

looking for user from 2001-05

price lets say 30-40k

just trying to get a feel…

c230 i thiiiiiiiiiiiiiink

New C Class Sport are sticks. My Dad has the brochure for them and there are two different engines available. c230 and c350.

C230/350 is your only MB manual sedan new

used only 230

03 230s are pretty inexpensive (under 30K)

Neither will deliver the sport handling and driving dynamic of a 3-series though.

Personally I would go for a used C32 or C55 AMG and live w/ the automatic

The C32 will go high 11s with a pulley and a tune.

ugh, the 230s are slugs… might want to reconsider

COSWORTH

Personally I’d go for something more along these lines, but obviously too old for you…

But for the price defference you could fully maintain/restore it and have plenty of change left over. And have, IMO, a fairly unique and rare MB.

You’re looking at German luxury sedans after all the trouble you’ve had? Man if I went through what I’ve read about you going through, I’d rock a civic for a year just to not have to think about the damn car for a while. :stuck_out_tongue:

I like the E46 M3 much more than Benz’s. The one you linked specifically is hawt! :tup:

12

yes, im turning the thing back to 100%.

13

i went trough all the trouble cuz i was stupid and turbo’d it.

14

“I drive a $40,000 car, yeah it’s a BMW…oh what’s that baby? You’re wet? Now? Well, could we goto your place? I don’t want to wake up my parents…wait…why are you walking away? DID I MENTION IT’S AN M3?!? LEATHER! LUXURY! GERMAN BUILD QUALITY!!!”

18

Oh don’t be so hard on yourself. You shot for the moon and missed. Learn from it, move on, boost an E46 M3!!!
