Hey guys, my name is Taylor and I am currently in the market for a C63. Have my mind set on an 08. Just wanted to introduce myself.

I am from Katy, Texas. I am 19 years old and work as a Quality Assurance Specialist. A buddy of mine from the last place I worked drives an 02 C32 and he is the one that turned me on to the AMGs.

I currently drive an 08 Mustang GT with a blower and full bolt ons.

My first question is, what options do I have as far as the width of the seats? Even with the lumbar supports all the way out, the seat is still too narrow.

Nice to be apart of the group!

how u got the money for a c63 lol

taylor_reid

Come on man. Does it really matter? As long as it's not mom and dad paying for it, I don't see why it matters.

Welcome to the forum, you will find great infos about this car here!! As for the seat, I don't think you can purchase an XL seat, unless u go aftermarket. U will enjoy the car otherwise.. Good luck with ur search!!

lamonsas

i was just joking man, was hoping it wasnt mom and dad haha

the C63 is a beast bro, just a question though, have u given the BMW M3 a chance?

taylor_reid

Ahh, misunderstanding. When I go out in public to vehicle related events, the first thing I get harrassed about is my age, and financial situation.

And no I have not, and never will.

lamonsas

never will, why is that? im in the same boat as u and thats why i ask, The M3 and M5 is always on the back of my mind because whenever i see one in the street i hear the noise they make it amazes me.

how old r u by the way?

taylor_reid

M3 does not have 4 doors, M5 is too damn big and expensive for me. Never really liked the BMW interior either.

I am 19.

The seat are pretty roomy.
Im 6'1" 205 pounds and fit in with no problem.

Good luck on your search.

Dont write a M3 off so quickly. The e90 M3 is a 4 DOOR, price point for an '08 I imagine to be similar in the states to a 08 C63. Also whilst you're comparing for 08 year, the M3 has a superior gearbox, and interface (CIC) with better standard inclusions. Then again, C63 has the sweeter engine for day to day but we pay a weight penalty for it. Check out M3post. I went from a highly modded 335i to C63 AND LOVING the natural responsiveness of the engine at low revs which is something that aint so great in BMWs of 2008

saferisk

Forgot to add, the seats are also much wider in the e90 M3 =P

_AMG_

+1
The seats on the E9X are wider and more comfortable, especially if your going on long distance trips.

taylor_reid

I have to admit that I am surprised by all the BMW persuasion. I've got my eyes set on the C63 though. Why are you guys pressing me for the M? Lol.

This dudes comments and threads are that of a immature child
Look at his post about a C63 vs. M5, and you will not pay any further attention to his diarrhea of the mouth.

danlnyc

LMAO!

danlnyc

Same here...and it's not just vehicle related events, it's happens EVERYWHERE by EVERYONE. Gets on your nerves after the first couple times.

I've just stopped replying back to those questions.

Back to topic: have you sat inside the C63 yet? I'm assuming you must be a pretty big guy if the seat is too small for you.

I wouldn't get the M3 either. Those things are dime a dozen. Everyone has one. The C63 is much more exclusive and it's straight up BEAST.

GL with your search for the perfect C63 pics when you get it!

Simple solution to your seat problem. Put them up for sale on these forums, and demand $2k plus stock C class seats (or some figure). They'll be gone in 2 minutes.

bluejae

maybe you can fit the m3 seats in the c63... =P

I had an 08 M-DCT M3 Sedan for almost 2 years and didn't even look at the C63 when I bought it. I guess I was becoming a fanboy before I even had one! I'm glad I went with the C63 this time around. I pretty much like everything about it better with the exception of the tranny. the m-dct tranny is much better. I'm not a track guy so I don't really care about that aspect of the debate. It's all about power for me.

taylor_reid

Yeah, I have even driven a couple. And yea I am some-what large. 5'10" at 230.

I agree about the M class. It seems like alot of younger people have them. They also don't appeal to me. I like the C63 because it is pretty close to looking stock.

Good idea.

bushburninc63

I don't know how you larger guys get comfortable in the c63 seats. With that said, the seats fit me nice and snug. I love em.

Nuff said. Dude is not worth replying back to.

Taylor,
I have a 2009 C63 listed for sale in the Classified section. Check it out and PM me if you have any questions.
You are headed down a fun path.

Valvestud

Ok, so if one was to sell them, what does a big boy like me do for replacements?

I love my car, but the seats are painful, especially if I have anything in my back pockets. The back is just OK, but the seat is brutal!

Thanks,

Joe

The biggest complaint I have about the C63 seat is that you can't recline it and take a nap because the side-bolster prevents your arms from resting.
