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.

**COSWORTH**

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

[http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mercedes-190e-16v\_W0QQitemZ120037016931QQihZ002QQcategoryZ6328QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting](http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mercedes-190e-16v_W0QQitemZ120037016931QQihZ002QQcategoryZ6328QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting)

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. 😛

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