It's boring looking at your posts..they always come out great with no exceptions.

Yes, your work is perfect as always!

I have to say I love it when I see you've detailed a black car. It's always a treat to see your mirror shine on black.

Also, cool to see you give the thumbs up to ONR. I'm shocked at how well it works each time I use it.

Plus, it's a beautiful car. The C350 is stunning -- on the outside, anyway. I don't like the interior so much, but the exterior styling is fantastic.

good work.

Loud Noises · 12-15-2008, 12:23 PM

Very Impressive!

musc · 12-15-2008, 02:54 PM

Nothing better than a black car that has been perfectly detailed! I think I have went back and looked at all of FMINUS's old detail posts... never anything less than perfection. Great work

The ONR has started to grow on me. I still don't like doinng wheels and tires with it, but for the exterior of the car, I have been very impressed...except the smell can be a bit much in a closed garage. I like to follow it up with FK-425 wipedown just because of its great smell.

What does it drive like? (Besides the fact that you can't get a manual tranny with most M-Bs?

)

this is the only way i know how to put it:

when i drive my moms 2006 750i sport i feel like i have to drive it "like a lady" as my mom calls it. [shes a former e39 owner and is a monster in my car or my dads m5]. this is the same way i feel in the c350.

and dont think i got all of the following from a simple test drive. i did consider the C before i got my car, but i know all this because my best friend has the C350 and ive put probably 150 miles of good hard driving time on it.

its not eager like my 335. it also feels really heavy, which i love at higher speeds because i feel like my car is a little too light at higher speeds but i would rather have mine because it doesnt feel too heavy in the turns like the C does.

also, the 7 speed tranny is very nice for when ur driving around town but otherwise its a big handicap on this car. its not very quick and not at all crisp like the amazing tranny in the 335.

the car also sounds like crap unless ur really hammering it, and then it only sounds good to people on the outside. it still sounds drony inside.

then aside from driving specifics, its slower than my car, the interior does not feel like it belongs in a car costing $45k, i would miss my PDC which isnt available on the C, and although the nav system is very good i still prefer idrive.

Want to come do my car

remmib · 12-17-2008, 08:20 AM

Another job well done.
I wish my car could get a detail like that.

HappyG · 12-18-2008, 08:06 PM

Wonder how much it costs?
