Managed to skip the queue and picked up a cancelled order via carwow with a 4% discount - spec was nearly spot on with brilliant blue, 21" alloys, running boards and 360 degree camera all apart from the upgraded speaker system which I wish it had - Love this car! Sport+ mode is very addictive!

Very nice indeed!!!

So if it doesn't have the burmester stereo does it not have the Premium pack?

These definately need the 21's IMO!

Burmester is part of Premium Plus pack, not included in Premium Pack. Mercedes have taken the configurator down completely now.

Ah, are you in Scotland? I think I remember you buying the m3 last year. We're you on babybmw.net? If that's you, and you had a Clio v6 if I recall, that m3 nearly tipped me over the edge!!!!
That's me mate! Small world in forum land lol

Here's the M3 as it sits currently, 16 months and 12500 miles on it. The V6 is currently for sale on Here too! smile

Indeed small world. Loved that car as soon as you got it and it still looks epic in that pic. Must be a tough car to part with. Has it lost much value? One day I will have an m3. Life would be incomplete without one on my list. :-)

Good man. Lovely colour. Like the 21" wheels too. And for my money the 360degree camera is a must. Please share your experiences as you get used to it.

I am no longer the only GLC43 in the village :-)

After just 16 months into a 48 month PCP it's been valued at £42,200 on trade in, against a C63. I paid £54,100 after discount, so it's not been too catastrophic really.

I just really want a V8... I even found myself looking at e92 M3's last night. The engine is undoubtedly the weak link in the F80 M3. It pulls like a train, and yet it's soul-less.

Not sure if you guys seen the new Q5 just unveiled at Paris. IMO the brand from a styling perspective has gone down the toilet. So boring and not a patch on the glc's looks

Just googled it... A bit like the Q7, the old one is actually better looking!

will stick a video up of the sound this weekend smile came from an A5 on 20" wheels and the GLC ride on 21's is much better - guess that air suspension is working overtime but it's like an e-class in comfort mode....then you stick it in Sport+ and things change a little smile just miss the B&O sound and the Sat Nav on the Audi - nothing else

Losing £12K on 16mths and 12k miles is pretty good! 'pretty good' being a relative term. :-)

Have developed a very annoying rattle from my dash binnacle When doing around 30mph on a rough road. Seems to be a frequency thing. Cured by holding the binnacle. Will need to get dealer to address when it's in.

Finally. A review from someone that's actually driven it. Pretty decent write up.

Merc just dropped their finance rates by 0.5% since start of Oct FYI

Ours was delivered today and just been out in it for a quick run. Very nice - well put together and quite nippy. Burmeister audio excellent. Navigation much better than land rover's. very quiet in the cabin.

Can see it sitting permanently in sport+ mode!

Will take some photos when light tomorrow

Got it through carfile 10% discount. Obsidian black, premium plus, leather seats, 21 inch wheels, 360 camera and sidesteps.

Nice one, can't wait to get mine smile

Am I the only one so far who didn't want the sidesteps?
