Help needed on C63 Upgrade!!
Discussion
Hello Pistonheaders
I am a first time gasser and looking for the collective wisdom the forums seem to be able to offer. I am currently in a 13 Plate C63 Coupe Black on Black and looking for an upgrade but anything I am looking at seems to lack the 'magic' on offer with what I already have. Budget isn't set in stone but am comfortable looking at the circa £75,000 - £90,000 mark. I've been looking at the DBS and the Bentley Supersports so far and whilst I could probably be happy with either I think what I really want is something that captures the lunacy of the C63 but a rung up the ladder. The SLS would be an obvious choice but its a little beyond what I want to pay. I had been toying with looking into the CLK63 'Black' but have resisted for some reason. It's my only car so have ruled out F430 etc etc
I'm hoping for some ideas or inspiration on unsought options, or to convince me on the DBS or supersports etc! Thanks!
(By the way I am 26, and 6,2")

Surely keep the C63 (it's the V8 right?) and get some louder exhausts
Much louder
and then spend the cash on driving through really really really long tunnels
(btw I'm 28 and a half and im 5 ft 10)
Haha I think I should just clarify I included my age and height because it's relevant to the car search. As in I'm too tall for anything like a Vantage and being young I can get away with it being a bit flash without looking a dick Much louder

I'd keep the Merc and put a mental exhaust system on it, failing that it may be difficult to come up with something totally mental that can still carry a few people on comfort on the odd occasion when needed.
How about an Aston Martin Rapide or Porsche Panamera, if you can handle the looks? If two seats will do it I'd be looking at a Ferrari 599 or similar if you can afford the potentially heart breaking cost of the upkeep.

Thanks for all the ideas so far, very helpful..
-I took the E63 out and thought it was old man. Sounded dog s
t aswell in comparison
-612 not for me, another old mans car
-2 seats is fine and 599 is a contender but can that be used every day in the same way a DBS could???
-Definitely getting out of the C63 and into something more 'exotic' so no interest in M5/M6 etc
Is there anyone out there who has been in a similar position in a C63 (or comparable) and stepped up and what did they go for?

spending up to 90K on a car at 26 is a pretty nice position to be in!
