New C63 Owner

[guyh]

Picked up my C63 on Friday, what a fantastic car. The sound is like thunder! Yet put the gearbox in Comfort and you can trundle around town no problem.

Very impressive car, glad I finally took the plunge on this one.

One happy Merc owner!

I don't think many people "get" mercs but the reasons you state are just why I have one. Bags of power and they can go around corners with the right set up and yet you can use it for a very comfortable daily driver

Nice car, I would love to drive one. I saw Jenson Button driving around Silverstone in one on the TV this weekend, it sounded glorious. I thought my CLK55 sounded good! As much as I would like a C63 they are out of my league at the moment. However, the E60 M5 is just about affordable!

The blips on the downshift are awesome, nice summers evening with the windows down ummmmmm

Is the car new? The running in is a pain in a$$

[guyh]

Not me sadly but I do live there! This car gets better and better, the noise!

I think the chap who I saw had just bought it as he changed up and down about 30 times on the one stretch off road.lol

I'll look out for you I am often in those parts visiting my father.

We have a 63 coming to the July London Meet if you're interested.

Are the wheels the standard ones - just my opinion but I prefer the 5 spoke ones which are the only ones I have seen on a C63, ive not seen the ones fitted to yours before.

Im thinking a C63 may be the only alternative to a new CLS

Hope the OP doesn't mind me replying to your question, but he's got the 19" upgraded alloys, the 5 spokes are the standard wheels and only 18". It's supposed to ride better on the 18's, but I personally would sacrifice a small amount of comfort for the IMO better looking 19" wheels.

Personally I prefer the look of 5 spoke 18"s over the fussy 19s

Yupp it a special order, it's even on visible on the AMG website and when I was in Brooklands they had one with it too.

[diffstar]

Nice, what is cost?

[amg master]

the cost for the leather dash was 3900 euro plus tax of 19%.

to much money in my opinion, especialy when they only charge £665 for the upgade leather dash on the ml63amg.
