Hmm, the gauges have the checked flag background, I believe only the C450 has that. The C63 has a different background unique to it, does it not? (I forget what it is though).

Also, the screen is in nm (Newton Meters), not Foot Pounds, so that's why it's in the 400's...

Finally, that steering wheel looks like the AMG performance wheel available on the C450 as an option...

Wrong, that is definitely a C450 with the AMG performance steering wheel. That's exactly what I have. The C63 wheel would also have a red stripe at the 12 o'clock position. Furthermore, the V8 exhaust note of the C63 is way more brutal, what you hear in that video is a twin turbo 6

Unfortunately you may be right. I called again the head of sales and he sees a production between 15 and 23 of Dec but goes out to the car park in Germany only on Jan 4th. Looks like MB people don't want to bother themselves during xmas period !!!
Really ****ty as I have 3 weeks holidays and wanted to enjoy it ;-(

it depends on driving characteristics. Before I bought the car, I talked to the service advisor. He said he's been seeing tire wear on the C400 with the same tires in the 8,000-12,000 range. Also went on to tire rack.com looked up same tire for c300 4matic, the user said they wore at 10,000 miles and were super soft.

They will not be lasting long. As soon as I got the car, I went to discount to buy 4 certificates for $220. Apparently with the Continentals, if there is a puncture, the whole tire has to be replaced not patched.

If anyone knows where to find it I buy.
why don't you just buy the whole replacement cover for whatever trim you have? Im sure you could go to the parts department at your mb dealer and request for that cover part for the c63s. the badge I believe is affixed to that cover.

without the amg badge, cars that is a few car away might think i'm driving a C300 . haha
The window sticker reads "C450 AMG" so it isn't posing unless you change the 450 part. That is the name of the car.

It's amg sport though. When I think of amg I think of "one man one engine". That's not the case here.

My window sticker doesn't state "AMG Sport". It wouldn't bother me if it did, but it doesn't.

That's a true statement. Also I think some of the other models s550 at one time had amg on the right side of the deck. This car has the amg badges on the side rather than the rear. Just a different display this time around

I was thinking the same when MB Usa first announced with the C450 and GLE450 that they will be the pioneers into the AMG sport line but if i can recall correctly the previous gen S class had S550 with AMG badges in the back from the factory and were "AMG sport" models werent they?

My wife has been driving around town now for several days. She was really impressed when she stepped down on the gas as some guy in a pick-up truck tried to pass her. However, she said I needed to take the car to the dealer to tell them they left some white lettering on the floor mats. "Lettering?", I said. Yes, it looks like it says AMG.

I don't know if the old s550 with amg package was an amg sport line. I thought it was all amg exterior mods. Those naturally aspirated engines I think were all the same for the 3 digits lettering

I think it depends where one lives and how the society is there .. Here in Belgium I see alot of C200 , C250 with AMG badge on the trunk, just because it's an AMG line .. ppl dont seem to care... Even when I ordered my c450 the salesman asked me do u want a badge on the trunk we'll put it there if u want .. But I said its ok I prefer debadged trunk.

Yes I thought about this alternative but the price won't be the same. I'll ask my dealer if he has this part and if it is compatible.

AMG is simply one man one engine. If it is not a hand built engine car, it is not AMG, and I feel weird driving my C450 around with the AMG badges. I have debadged the side and change the letter from C450 to C250.
