As for "Bitchers, Moaners and Whiners" those are harsh words. No need to get over the edge Luw.

No need to worry Yannis, I'm as cool as an iceberg. I got that BMW-thing off another forum and couldn't resist to use it. Sorry.



Then again this is only the first battle. There will be more comparison in the months to come. Somehow I'm starting to get the feeling that AMS is a bit MB biased or are the new MB cars really good?

^they are gr8..lol ask me..im super biased

Damn some of you guys are true BMW(Bitchers, Moaners and Whiners). I can't believe the AMG-kit debate is still going on. I mean, since when did the AMG-kit become something that's more than just cosmetic? Sure there has been talk about an C-class sports package but that's not even out yet. MB is equipping most their C-class show cars with AMG kit in order to make it appeal to younger people. That's what it is all about.

in a thread in MB section there were two mb guys from UK claiming the AMG kit in UK inlude lowered suspension. So I dont know, that AMG kit seem to be different from country to country

Jag har fört statistik över Autobild och AMS och kan med lätthet säga att MB vinster är mycket fler än Audi och bmw. Jag kan postade statistiken om du vill se vad jag har kommit fram till?

Interesting info. I just looked it up and here is what's stated about the C-Class Sport in UK.

The Sport line gives the C-Class an even more eye-catching look.
The distinctive styling instantly sets it apart and emphasises its agile nature. The three-pointed star sits proudly in the centre of the wide grille, whose three silver louvres are edged with chrome. This muscular first impression is backed up by the AMG front and rear aprons and side skirts, as well as the 17" 6-twin-spoke AMG alloy wheels with mixed size tyres – 225/45 at the front and 245/40 at the rear. 18" 5-twin-spoke AMG alloy wheels are available as an option. And the Sport not only looks more dynamic, it feels it too, thanks to sports suspension that’s 15 millimetres lower than standard, speed-sensitive parameter steering with a more direct steering ratio, and drilled brake discs with front brake callipers featuring “Mercedes-Benz” lettering.

Then there is also the stanrad optional AMG-kit which is nothing but cosmetic. The question is if the car Autobild used is a C-class sport or simply a C-classwith a cosmetic AMG-kit.

i drove it today..will be making a new thread..
the AMG packag is cosmetic..the only other diffrence is the 15mm lowerd chassi and the drilled brakes.. ohh and something called parameter steering..
plus an exhust system set to a more sporty tune

but those things hardly gives the car the mechanicall edge to win comparos..
the visuall yes.. cause it looks so damn HOT

I dont understand, is it cosmetic or is it a lowered Chassi, thats sounds like the sportpackage for BMW 3er. And yes it helps to improve the handling.

and whats parameter steering?

 

[RikfromBelgium]

are you kidding me? that changes everything, it has a huge impact.
Thank you for proving my point

The C-class sport has a lowered chassi and bigger brakes. But if have choose an C-class elegance you can choose to get an AMG optic kit and that is just visual.

the handling will be improved, just like M package for 3er. And question isnt how much it improve, it improves and thats what counts.

and again, parameter steering? what does it mean? directer steering or what?
