Sorry if this has been posted somewhere. But I think this would be a great daily driver

I like the minor changes they've made to the interior. Improved compared to my 2010. These are GREAT daily drivers (except in snow, as I have found out this winter ).

Yeah I love the new look. The P031 development package has been impressive as well. That package in this car would be an amazing daily I think.

Nice! I like the two humps on the hood of the current cars. I just purchased a preowned 2010 as my daily driver last weekend. It is my first Mercedes. I really like the car. Any advice?

Biggest mod for you if its not a P031 is get it tuned to get back that 50hp MB stole. Then some basic exhaust work or complete header/ exhaust but its not exactly a cheap mod. Best bang for the buck is the ecu flash especially if its a non P031.

I like the dash with the low profile nav. Going back to the C43 two tone interior is very MBZ old school. Not mad about the round A/C vents or steering wheel (look like a Mustang). The big news is the wet pack clutch replacing the TQ converter. The exterior/interior changes alone don't warrant buying new over a 2008-2010.

+1. That is exactly what I would recommend. I got a Kleeman ECU tune (K1), and it does make a difference. I'm not going to do the header and exhaust mods for now. Although they add some power, decrease weight, and sound awesome, they are way too expensive for me at this point.

Looks great inside and out. Simple ECU flash and instant 500 hp. What's not to like.

Thank you for the advice. I stopped by MB Buckhead and they told me they have an ECU remap that adds + 50 hp. It will not void my warranty but I have to sign a waiver that I will not track the car and potentially harm the engine, because racing/tracking would void it. They will also save my current computer settings. It runs about 2k. My car has the p031. I have a limited slip. They advised me that the eventhough the car has limited slip, it only will reduce slip 40%. They have one that will reduce slip almost 100%. For a daily driver this is bad @$$ car for sure. Glad I bought it and not another brand. What kind of radar/laser do you recommend??

My mistake I have the P030 not the P031....I have the 451 hp. Any tips about radar/laser would be helpful. Do I really need laser for the back??
