69C63

Quick story and some pics. This week I got a call from the guy I lease my cars from. He wanted to know how I was liking my 2010 C63 (Black on Black, P31 w/ all options & 27k miles). I told him that I was still enjoying it. He said, the reason he was calling is that he came across a 2013 special order car that someone backed out of and he could get me into. So I did the deal and swapped my 10 P31 for a 13 P31.....

2013 C63
Diamond Silver (I had never seen this color before & I think makes it unique)
Black Leather
Aluminum Trim
P31
LSD
Parktronic
Keyless Go
Illuminated Door Sills (very cool feature at night)
Lighting Package
Multimedia Package
Driver Assistance Package

Here are some pics...I have already tinted the windows & switched out the side markers.

It's not iridium. This color actually has a tint of blue in it. When I first saw it, I struggled with the shade but I really like it.

As for a comparison between the two, I really like the updates cosmetically outside and the interior is far nicer than the 10. There are alot of new electronics and driver's aids that I need to figure out and will be glad to share. I am guessing performance will be the same once it's broken in. The suspension however does feel tighter. I am looking forward to using the additional sport setting and race start. What I love the most is that despite all the improvements, I get the same addicting sound! I have had the car now for 24 hours and really like the 13!!

I'm considering the same but am not in love with the little nips and tucks. So am in strong consideration to keep my '10 despite the little electronic junk upgrades. Plus all the dash noise, over heating, and electrical issues that the '12-up are having...Personally I think the illuminated door sills is such a feminine, ridiculous option like no other...its not a GMC Denali...

Look at the paint code in the door. It's most likely iridium...

enjoy

you up spent about $20K right??? Or you just leased in which you figured whats a $150 more a month...

Hey guys the color is Diamond Silver Metallic. Check the MB build data online. Not sure why you are having such a hard time accepting this as a valid color?

The paint code is 988 Diamond Silver. I previously had an iridium e55 and this color has blue in it. My iPhone pics and /or the sun may not have shown the color accuratley. Here is the link to the pics the dealer posted before I got the car.

Let me know your thoughts on the color and if you guys like it. Coming from black and silver cars this was a big jump for me. I don't think I'll see many of these on the road.

This is the most ridiculous, garbage filled post I have read on any of the forums, why not just skip replying instead of allowing your jealous infantile bs to spew out making you sound like a little douche?

Beautiful car btw, congratulations.

Roswell

^^ don't take Zephyr comments too personnal.. He likes to be sarcastic & funny. He often picked on my car. Lol!

OP, congrats on the upgrade. I prefer the exterior of my 2010, but love the new facelift interior. And yes, the 2012 + seems to have few electronic glitch from ppl posts.. So hope urs is worry free.

jtrichel

i am reading this thread thinking hello.... its Diamond Silver for godsake...!

I love the color in person, it would be my first choice on an ordered 13 C63, well done...it reminds me almost exactly of Porsche Polar Silver

_AMG_

Very nice man, congrats!

ZephyrAMG

Thanks Roswell....at least a veteran like you has gotten to know me over time, unlike a C350 driving newbie that has taken my post way out of context...

I was serious about my post...I was seriously considering it but just weighing the pros and cons and my likes and dislikes. I love the car, in fact I said ENJOY.

I stand corrected on the paint...as mentioned its a Diamond Metallic MB makes. I love it. Just looked so much like Iridium Silver.

I still love the 08-'11...just looks so menacing. The '12-up have some nice electronic upgrades but its stuff I really don't need. I'm just trying to justify in my own head if spending $20K is really necessary for essentially the same car.....FOR ME...that is.

Let me be clear good buy and enjoy! As far as Scat01, know who you are replying to before you start typing away and going full retard.

Hehehehhe You said full retard.... I love that movie!

OP... Congrats on the car looks beautiful!

Even Money

LOL...Hey, we got your back Z man!

OlegKouz

Congrats man!

ZephyrAMG

Thanks Even! I still wonder what car you have been considering since you sold the C63

Scat01

Full retard is always funny....touche' douche' (does not rhyme but sure looked funny when typing...) Now I know, if I happen to leave my poverty stricken C350 forum and wander in here again, I will be sure to take your posts with a grain...cheers.

ZephyrAMG

Actually I want to start over. I apologize if you think my last post was egotistical and pompus. I don't mean to put down your C350 by any means. It's a baddass car and when I see one driving I always admire it. This is all of our forum. I am not some punk jerk or all high and mighty on this car. Anyway, sorry again if I was rude or thinking the C63 is better. Both cars are beautiful works of art. I have learned much from the C class forum whether its a 63 or 350. Anyway, much apologies and hope that we are not at war over some post taken out of context.

Much respect....

Scat01

Sorry Zephyr, my initial post was not the most well thought out and all of this is unnecessary - I doubt you look down your nose at lesser cars....

I commute 80 miles a day so always end up with the highest output 6 cyl version, as opposed to taking the leap at a real HP monster like the C63 (still have a gen 1 3.6 cts, wimped out on the V, sold my 330Ci for this car, wimped out on the M3, C350 now, you get the idea). I love this car, but it certainly could use a little more power...

Cheers!

Even Money

No sir, thank you! I pick up the C63 black next week..

Nice to see love return to the forum!

Roswell

Props to Zephyr for being a man (as always) & apologize to Scat01.. We sometimes have bad days, and don't express our words correctly.

And props to Scat01 for being understanding & being cool about it! Gotta enjoy the love for our cars (250,300,350 or 63) & each others.

Now, Zephyr I'm still waiting for my apologies for calling my car a dim sum cart. *cry*

Roswell

Congrats Even, I'm so jealous! Post pics next week.

GrnLantern

Nice, very nice.

Is this an incoming 2013, or did you snag a 2012? (I ask because mine's still in production, so I was hoping to gauge how far along they are based on yours... if it's a 2013.)
