potentially a very nice low mile c63S coupe or an 16 RS7 performance.

ideally a 16GT4 would have been ideal. But can’t find a great one.

I had a brief flirtation with a 2015 S65 AMG Coupe that ended about a month ago. What a beast. Velvet hammer. Very rare too.

How brief? Why did it end? Did you lose any money on it? I know they initially lose heavy but then sort of plateau.

Your review on it?

GT3 Center Console

Put this in tonight. Amazing. $435.00 US shipped from Rose Passion including the trim cover. Legit company. I had it on order with ECS for $620.00 and they didn’t know when it would ship. Found rose and got it in 5 days from Germany

Installed a Numeric shifter and went for a drive.
I’m impressed

Kept the OE cables. Wise move.

They add some precision and a lot of whine.

I dropped my oil sump plate to check for bore scoring... It seems pretty clean for 130k miles, but what do I know?

I found these little brown plastic pieces in the oil pickup tube screen, but based on other forums posts, it doesn't seem like I should be too concerned about them -- probably been there since original manufacturing/assembly. Or it's variocam pads? Unfortunately, I didn't check the cam deviation before jumping into this project.
