Greetings from a new C63 owner
Hi guys,
Just wanted to post and introduce myself and my car. Some background on me is I've mostly driven Honda's growing up. This is my first step up to real German luxury and I've decided on the 2013 Mercedes-Benz C63 sedan APX Package Obsidian black on black Designo leather. Its got about 50,000 KM on the dash and is warrantied for another 3 years to 160,000KM.
Don't plan on doing any modifications this summer/year, but maybe further down the line. Currently just reading all the information on the cars such as common problems, fixes, tire/brake recommendations.
Looking forward to pick up my car tomorrow morning!

Thank guys!
Now looking for a set of winter wheels and tires for the remainder of the season, trying to decide between a new set of tire/rim 18s from dealer $4200 plus tax, used tire rim from Kijiji $1500-$2000 or new replica set for $1250-2000.
Any suggestions or should I start a thread, I've been going through a lot of tire threads and its pretty much a fact you need winters... Just want to see what the best bet for me is. I'm trying to only drive the car to the train station but with chores and the girlfriend obviously sometimes need to use it for more than just commuting.
Maybe I should start my own post?
Thanks for any advice,

Check out sites like OE Discount Parts or other vendors since I'm sure you can get better deals than the dealer.
Don't get replicas:

Thank for the video, this is the exact type of information I was looking for from first hand owners.
"No way I'd be putting my mates in a car with fake wheels."
Love the Australian accent trying to sounds serious! Lol
