Panoramic roof on C63 Black series
I was told by my dealer that all the North American Black series coupes will come with panoramic roofs. This is cool, but can anyone confirm it?
They said something along the lines that all north american coupes have panoramic roofs and were all crash tested that way, so instead of scrapping 5 black series cars to crash test, they are just keeping them with panoramic roofs.
Anyone else hear about this?

and I'm sure it has nothing to do with any crash testing cars they didn't want to toss. if there offering it in EU that's completely false what you heard. The only reason why it wouldn't come with a steel roof is because this is the US and they want to keep the nice luxuriousness in the vehicle intact. Just like the seats can't be replaced by the buckets. That is another option available in EU
Anyway, just wanted to make sure the panoramic roof was true.

Unfortunately, the panoramic roof will make our cars heavier than the steel roof version. It adds weight to the highest part of the car. This will change, somewhat, the center of gravity, and affect handling. I think all of the cars tested by the reviewers lacked rear seats and the panro roof. So they are lighter than the cars we will get.
