some general questions

Hi, i have a few questions about the current C55/new c63 that i hope you guys could answer..

i have read the C63 will possibly be releasing but as "limited supply"..so does this mean i must have to have had a AMG in the past or any MB would do?

i currently drive a b7 a4 and has ordered BBS LM's ..but i was wondering if these would be transferable...perhaps different offset etc?

as C63 may release do you guys think the price will increase dramatically?

do you guys ever think the C63 will go into full production (since my family does not own any MBs)

regardiing insurance..how many of your broker actually categorize this as a class of it's own..or do they just leave it under quotes of the c320?

lastly ..the current c55 uses a 5 speed transmission..is it possible that they might use the 7 gear transmission like the slk55....

sorry to bother you guys...but when i search sometimes this stuff doesnt come up easily...Thanks ALOT in advance

I do not have an answer to all your questions but I would not be overly concerned with the "limited availability". This is not a Ferrari Enzo or Bugatti Veyron

The marketing people like to create a bit of a buzz with "limited supply" but the bottom line is, if you have the money you will get the car. It is not relevant whether you have owned an MB or AMG in the past. Chances are they me be a little harder to come by when first released,i.e. you may want to have your name on the waiting list or put a deposit down at your local dealer.

I am not an insurance expert but you will definitely pay a lot more for a C63 than a C320.

There won't be a C63 on the W203 chassis. This month's dealer parts/service update includes all the information and parts for the CLK63, SL63, CL63, ML63, E63, etc... but absolutely nothing on a C63. So this means we most likely won't be seeing a C63.
