Looks great. I'm wondering what options you went for and indeed what they all are? Believe if you got the sports seats package you cant option leather seat colour. I like the red you have chosen btw, but dont think it available with full sports seats.

Basically all options except the sports exhaust and the amg seats options as I've sat in the seats in the c63s and found them to be too rough for daily use. I'm not sure on the options for the leather though, it may differ from country to country

How is the 9 spd Transmission?[/QUOTE]

Unfortunately it's only 7 speed, not sure why it didn't come with the 9 speed.

If your car came with a 7 Speed, that's an issue.

Maybe it's a special edition.

Yeah my bad guys lmao.... Just double checked it as the Sport + mode doesn't ever get past 7, Comfort and Sport mode will hit 9 gears. A little bit of a brain fart on my part.

400KM on the odometer and so far everything has been running really smooth, gears shift smoothly and there is the C63s feel to it with just a little less grunt, i suppose the dual clutch will feel more responsive after it's been driven past 2500KM.

What do you mean "DUAL CLUTCH"?
Of course you know this does not have a dual clutch tranny but a conventional fluid coupling auto trans. The C63S also does not have a dual clutch trans either but an auto with a multi plate clutch in place of the fluid coupling.
And maybe more than a little less grunt. I also see MB screwed up and put the steering wheel on the wrong side.
But nice car--congrats.

great looking car
Was it on Morning Conductor ship?

How long did it take to get to you from when it docked at port? Waiting for my 63 which is sitting on the port

How did you know what ship it was on, to track etc? Is there something from your dealer which lets you track it?

2017 C63s coupe
Many congrats, like the spec, very very nice car. Enjoy in best health! I went on my C63s coupe with more conservative setup though (black metallic, black-white interiour) cause it was big amount of money for me and didnt have a chance to see personaly red interiour.. I ordered it last week, put deposit, because i had huge luck - dealer was able to find me a quote of 1.11.2016, so it schould be delivered before Christmas

How do You like matt-wood central console trim? Ordered excactly tha same.

Cheers
