Looking for a replacement for the ill-fated Alpina B3 I had bought last year, which blew up its engine at 70k km (admittedly Alpina replaced the engine at their cost). I couldn't get past Stuttgart's muscle car, the (real) C63. It's been a favorite of mine since it was launched, but never had the chance of driving one, until today. 

Went for a drive with the seller and immediately went weak in the knees and bought it. This one is a Performance Package example, which adds a couple of hp (487), bigger brakes, stiffer suspension and most importantly, an LSD. Good as the current 4.0l V8 biturbo might be, the old 6.2l V8 in a C-Class is a thing to behold and it will never see its like again.
