If it's your passenger seat are you sure it's not the belt buckle hitting the hard shell seat back? If that's your issue just put the backle by the magnet in the seat and problem solved. It's been posted in some thread here. I forgot which but I a

Update:
I finally have the car back whilst a replacement seat is being made. Should be available mid to late January. My only problem with this overall is that it took Mercedes AMG Germany far too long to come to the decision. I completely understand that they wanted to be sure it was the seat and that they would prefer to repair rather than replace but the line was drawn at too late a stage.

Lets hope this shorts the problem DragonRR and you can enjoy the car without any more problems that take this long to short out.

How is this even acceptable to you? Dont know what to say. Seems you'd be without the car for 3 months or so

40 days in total Juse. If it had have been multiple problems I would have gone down a refund route but it is a noise from a seat. I like the car a lot generally.. If I walked away from it I would walk away from the brand completely (probably).

Got a call from Mercedes UK. Seat on route from Germany. Earlier than I expected tbh given the time of year. Now I just have to hope the noise really is the seat!

The RS6 is a great car, very fast in a straight line and very practical but heavy and boring once you get over the acceleration, I only kept mine for six months, it just didn't grab me. Despite the minor seat problem I love the way the C63 looks on the inside and outside and feels to drive, really don't care if a Golf R can beat me to 60 on a rainy day

Some shots from Autogespot of an Iridium Silver car with the thicker rimmed alloys. I'm still undecided about them.

You consider to get them? I spent more than month of deciding about these wheels. Spacers and lowered car and they might look great. I can still change my order (March delivery) but majority convinced me to stay with multispokes...

I like the multi's personally because they look bigger on the car as their silver rim liner is smaller. I always felt, visually, that the thick spokes looked smaller because the size of the silver lip.

My thoughts exactly but having seen the US/Motorsport version car with the yellow version of these wheels spaced and lowered (as masar suggested) my opinion changed a little.I don't regret my decision but the thick rimmed wheels have grown on me a little.

Yes, i agree.... Especially 19" front wheel look very small. I think they should do 20" rear and front for these wheels and it would look great. 19" front is just too small with that big lip. These wheels look great on new AMG GTR.

Well... this hasn't gone well. Went to pick up the car yesterday. Got in, new seat installed. All my settings had gone ... which was no surprise really... tried to adjust the steering wheel and it wouldn't move down or up. Waited an hour or so for it to be fixed but it wasn't so I'm now in a loan car.
