M2 Manual vs AMG C43 9G-Auto
I am currently looking for a replacement of my M135i, been to dealer looking at a M2, and they have a manual model in stock (The one and the only one), and am also considering the AMG C43 since someone told me that is slightly cheaper than the M2, I would like to see some comment or idea since I am totally stuck at this two..... thanks in advance.

I had a test drive of a AMG C43 the other week. Very similar to a 340i in my opinion. About the same size. More power than my 2015 330i, but not that much more. Interior was nice, and the sound in sport sounded really good from the inside. I have heard videos of it from the outside, and did not like the sound between shifts.
In Australia, it is more expensive than a 340i, so a no brainer if you don't want a Mercedes for the badge, or styling. My main complaint is no manual transmission. I will be trading my 330i in for a manual M2 next year, as I want more involvement in my driving. Good car in general, and dealerships are widespread. Look at servicing costs also, as they were not part of the sales package. Cheers, Ken |

I prefer the BMW interior personally, yes the leather and stitching is not as nice, but it is easier to use and focused on the driver. The C class interior has a center stack that's further away and no knobs. That being said I wouldn't complain if someone gave me a C63. Lol
