Fantastic, thanks for posting. Apart from a full black interior, this looks pretty much identical to my car. Looks good.

Agree with his comments, last chance to get a great NA V8 before they go out of fashion.

Got a call from my dealer yesterday, if things go well I'll be driving mine next weekend!

<- Jealous. You'll definitely have to post pics. I'd love to get mine sooner than later, but I've got to wait for my annual bonus to hit so I can use it as a down payment.

I think your car and mine will be pretty similar.

Will definitely post some pictures.

What options did you go for? Mine is pretty much everything, including an LSD. The only options I didn't really go for are any of the driver assistance stuff.

Check out my sig; but yeah, didn't get the driver's assistance or parktronic stuff. Tried to focus on what I'd use the most for my daily driving to keep the price down and never thought parallel parking was overly difficult.

I love the 63 exhaust note! I find myself driving with the windows down a lot just so I can hear it better.

Nice review. As he says ... last of the V8s. If you have the money and can afford the fuel buy one!
I am currently looking at 2 year lease deals and will be looking to get my order in soon!

I recommend picking it up asap. They might demo or take your car for a joy ride.

Even if you deposit, it isn't really your car till you sign the papers.

That is a true statement, except I built in a caveat to my deal. And it was semi-powerful. I told my salesman that I wanted to be there to "unwrap" it and be there when it arrives. I wanted to take all the shipping materials off myself, or I wouldn't buy the car. It worked and he said that he'd call me every step of the way and let me know when the truck was close or right when it arrived.

The more I hang out here in this forum, the more I wanna go get a C63 Sedan instead of the Coupe.

LOL, actually C350C will be the trade in for C63 and smart will soon be traded in for a SLK250 for the wife.

Because I'm not that into convertibles, and my wife drives less than 4,000 miles a year. She's had her smart for nearly 2 years and she put 3,000 miles on it, and her GLK350 has about 5,000 miles on it.

My neighbor has a black on black SLK55, even though it's a sweet car, if I ever wanted to drive a convertible, it'll be the SL550 or SL63

My man, I HIGHLY recommend getting a sedan. I think you should go with your astute observation and your gut. The only way I would have ever gotten a coupe, would have been purchasing a C63 BS. And to give you an "unbiased" opinion, it's not like I needed a sedan. I prefer the looks and levelness of the sedan. I have always felt like the coupes look bobbed with the nose down and the a$$/trunk in the air. The rear bumper is definitely higher than the front bumper and I think that is supposedly to flush out once you get weight in the back.

Either way, you are not going to stop smiling. The C63, other than interior fit and finish, is a whole different car than the C350. Night and day!!

Congrats

Thank you for your recommendation. I've started to like the looks of the sedan more over the coupe. I don't need a sedan, however I agree with you, the sedan looks more leveled, and I'm really tired of the panoramic roof. At least in the sedan you get to choose not to get the pano roof.

All I know is Bardman's white sedan looks great. I can't wait for him to pick it up and post more pictures of it. Gets me even more excited about getting mine in a few months.


( or even more so) Has anyone done a full body wrap? I'm curious how much it costs and how it looks on a C 63. I've been tossing the idea around of getting mine and the wife's future GLK wrapped.

I am wondering why it already has the license plate holder on the front bumper? That usually happens after it's delivered to the dealership, if at all.
