I Have Turned to the Dark Side... Mercedes AMG C43

I plan to, but since the dealer installed new Conti MOE tires immediately before delivery I figured I would wear them out before replacing them. I’ll probably get a set of winter wheels/tires as well.
Very nice! I Like the color combo. Congrats!!!
Congratulations!
Sweet ride!

Nice ride! The last Mercedes I rode in was a 2000 c230, and the only reason it was better than a Saturn ion was because it was rear wheel drive. The Saturn was well taken care of except for body damage, and the Mercedes was kinda nasty inside and worn out in every way possible.
I like the E90 BMWs, haven't driven anything newer. If only they could make a grill that looks decent

The styling of most every new BMW really puts me off. I just don’t get the big grilles and awkward proportions.
They're... Unpalatable, to say the least.
And then they frost the **** cake with features-as-a-subscription.

I thought they walked that one back after people were outraged over it?
Nope. 2024 1 Series will be the first if I recall correctly

Ahhh yes, that's sort of consistent with the block of text from BMW in the other article, that you can order the feature as an option up front, but if you want to add an option you didn't order with the car later, the hardware will be there and you can either pay the fee to enable it, or pay for it monthly.BMW's In-Car Subscriptions Have Arrived in the US

Is it a slippery slope? Not sure. I understand having to pay for something like a data connection, as there is a recurring cost there, but for a piece of hardware/software that is already part of the vehicle, paying to enable that later seems kind of greasy, even if you didn't technically pay for the option when you ordered the car.
