That's YB08 VZE off my list then, saying that, they should take the abuse but it probably wont be maintained right and the ANPR will probably light up when it passes

Why do chaps like that drive like they think they are in South Central LA with the arm draped over the wheel ?

Anything that keeps them off ruining the M3's

Have the early E92's not gone exactly the same way? The E46's definitely did.

C63's have a certain type of driver around here. There's a link to be drawn between C63's, Victorian terrace housing and low level drug dealing around here.

Love C63's, but its a shame they're all driven by donkeys around here.

If you want a cool C63, it's got to be the wagon?! That remains a cool fast barge.

Agreed. So much cooler.

Bloody hell what a fine knuckle dragger specimen. You're so "cool" revving the tits off your car whilst sat behind an i10 at traffic lights. I'm sure that i10 driver is shaking with jealousy. It's incredible how you burn out round every single corner you take and when moving off - I'm sure all the drivers behind you love you for it. It's amazing how you hammer it round corners for 10 seconds until you meet the flow of traffic and hammer the breaks on.

Seriously, knuckle dragger's in cars like that are lethal, the sooner he wraps himself firmly around a tree the better for the rest of us.

Haha I was going to say, it's sadly been in favour with the 'wrong crowd' for a little while. Which is a shame as I think they're great cars but they just suffer a bit of an image problem.

Any of the other '63' models still keep their credibility, E63 is a cool car, I own a CLS63 so obviously thats even cooler haha But the C has got a bad rep from drivers revving the t*ts off them in public places and being found up the chuff of super cars usually in the middle of London.

There's always one tw*t out there prepared to spoil it for the rest of us.

Someone posted a video on Facebook just the other night of a guy with an E63 just sitting there revving so sadly you'll always find one. Even less chavvy cars will always find there way into the hands of some Ali G wannabe with a bit of cash. I looked at M6s previously and the number of them with bad tints and worse wheels was surprising yet they're (in my opinion) cool cars.

thank god for Alpina....that's all i'll say.

Indeed. It might take the edge off, that's all.

Lots of cars I like have a poor image...

Lexus ISF - dull accountant,

Doesn't stop them being great cars.

Oi, I'm not an accountant. Previous cars included a Lotus Elise S, and Audi S4 saloon and now the ISF.

Irony, I work for an environmental regulator!!

I would argue that these days most top trim, sporty cars turn "council" once they reach a certain age.

In fact you don't even have to wait a until the cars age for that to be the case. Look up Shmee150 and check the "Related Channels". Rather embarrassing behavior that I wouldn't want to be associated with even though I appreciate the engineering behind those cars. I do wonder if manufacturers are aware of this trend.

Sadly, it's more likely he'll cause someone else to hit a tree with his recklessness, but is it just me or does he look a bit like....

Doesn't that Lord Aleem (brav) have a C63 Black? And here are some of his mates at a Gumball meet....

Not sure I like the "unsavoury" labelling, as it comes across as unnecessarily snobbish. However, German marques (particularly the performance models) all suffer this issue as the cars get to a point in their depreciation curve (usually 5-8 years).
People who love the image but don't have the finances to run a new one are drawn to these cars like moths to a flame until they go out of favour. Once a newer (more desirable?) model is in reach, they are cast off (via Ebay and Gumtree) to be rescued or run into the ground.

By this point, good cars are few and far between (the best will have stayed in enthusiast hands), so prices head north as the "classic" tag gets bandied around. The once-forgotten cast-offs will then be picked up and 'restored' by those looking to cash in on the upward trajectory.
You can pretty much track E36 and E46 M3 prices exactly by this pattern. Recent AMG cars also appear to follow pretty well.

A little, but not as yellow and without the dungarees and goggles

German über saloons always get a ''rep', I don't really give a toss what the neighbours think of my 'drug dealers car'.

Been like it for a while. Specifically white coupes with black wheels

Funnily enough there a coupe one I see locally thats white. With black wheels. And a wing plonked on the back that looks like it was robbed off some sort of GT car, a bit like this:


And various stickers plastered all over the body.

I've not seen it being driven poorly, but it looks like its owned a boy racer from about 1996 who hasn't grown up yet.
