Given the small price differential I shelled out for the top of the range one which is still hugely cheaper than the 1er...which gives me more than enough cash for a blower.
The 300 is still pretty badass. Still reminds me of Walter White in Breaking Bad Hope you got a black one and do the blower straight away.

I only would have gone for the 8 speed for the fuel savings and slight refinement. I doubt there is much difference in performance, the gearing in the 5 speed works really well. I'm familiar with that 5sp transmission mated to the C32 AMG engine (modded) and it performs very well.
