C63 amg facelift??

[Mehdi]

Hi, am wondering when the c63 is due its facelift with the leds etc? as i cant seem to get confirmation from anywhere? cant see any pics etc?

also assuming that the new engines wont be put into the C63 as they will be reserved for the CL and CLS S etc..

anyone confirm this?

thanks
mehdi

Hi the facelift c63 should be here first half 2011 and yes it should continue with the 6.3 engine.

i think that will be the sport model and not the c63amg chiefski,the amg model will most likely have the power domes on the bonnet, thicker led lights in the bumper and most likely to arrive in april-may 2011.

And what about the new V8 5.5-litre twin-turbo engine and the MCT box premièred in other models AMG Master?

i was told that the new 5.5 twinturbo will not go in the c63 until a new model change2014.not sure about the mct7 but i think if they keep the same engine in the car they will probably keep the same gearbox.would be nice if they do slot the mct7 box in the facelift c63amg.

Thanks AMG, that's good news as far as I am concerned, though whilst I like the continuation of the normally aspirated engine, I would like the MCT box having had a Porker with the PDK. However, in day to day motoring it probably won't make that much of a difference.

I'm now on track to order a 2011 model and will visit my local MB Dealer when I'm back in-country during the festive season.

no problem,have you thought about what spec you will go for?

I've been looking at the various cars, both on this site, and whilst I am open to any advice, this was my preliminary list:

COMMAND
LSD
PPP
Intelli Lighting
Harman Kardon
Luxury Air
Parktronic
Leather covered-dash
Factory Pick-up

On colour, initially I was keen to have the Palladian (?) Silver (with a black interior), but this seems rather conservative and as I already have a couple of Silver cars I'd like to try something else. White looks attractive, but can you sell them easily when its time to move on.

Maybe the answer is a conservative colour and then a Calcite white wrap? Decisions, decisions...

If you have any further advice AMG I would very much appreciate your input.

Cheers

palladium silver is a nice looking colour.are you going for a facelift model or the current model?parktronic is standard now.
depending on how you like your suspension i like it hard the old ppack cars had the hard susp, the new ppp cars have a softer suspension but i think if you ask they can still fit the harder susp the code is 486 sport suspension.your spec is nice, carbon interior is nice blk wheels look good and carbon exterior wing mirrors.

The leather dash is a must on the current model as the standard finish looks astoundingly cheap for a near-£60k motorcar!

Someone told me the facelifted cars will get a revised dash.

The facelift dash is a massive improvment on the current one, it's similar to the E-Coupe dash but a bit nicer if anything. The sat-nav is now integrated into the top of the dash rather than the rather retro looking pop-out unit.

That sounds worth waiting for.

Seems you are right!: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FoXyvaPSnVk/TL5LsLLt-jI/...

someone has also mentioned that it will come with the mct7 gearbox on the mb forum.

When exactly does it go on sale in the UK?
