1) I already said in the other thread I passed on my c63 because of the seats, so there will be another option
2) Adjustable suspension/ride options like the e63
3) Rear parking sensors
4) Comfort access
5) Panoramic roof
6) Carbon fiber interior accents and a different steering wheel

And we already know about the limited slip diff option

My assumption is Mercedes would like to maximize the market potential of this great engine/platform, but I guess I could be wrong. They lost my business today because of the seats.

adam28

what other merc other than the black series clk and the 40th anniversary edition cl65 has carbon fiber in them? Merc just doesn't offer that for their Amg cars..

You sure are asking a lot for a car that costs $65,000! Do BMW, or Audi offer all these options except for carbon accents?

2) Adjustable suspension/ride options like the e63


Will never happen or C63.

BMW offers 3 suspension choices on the M3 and they also offer Rear parking sensors along with the carbon fiber accents. Plus the seats are bigger. So 4 of 6 aren't bad. I think he needs to buy the M3.

problem solved!!

Panorama roof already an option, its an option on the C-class therefore available, it was one of the options the dealer offered me when we ordered the car

IwantA124

Yeah he does...

GDawgC220

For the new A4, the following options will be available for order so I think it can be safe to say they will be an option on the S4 at the least.

Drive Select Package (Adaptive Suspension Damping System, dynamic steering)
Rear parking sensors
Advanced Key system (like keyless-go)
The B6 & B7 S4 have had CF options so if AoA follows, it should be on the B8 S4.

Some other options that can be ordered:
Lane Assist
Adaptive Cruise Control
Rear back up camera w/ NAV system

And your contribution the original intent of this post on C63 is................................................ ..........................................??

GDawgC220

Responding to the other guy who mentioned BMW and Audi and their offerings in terms of options?

shakesby

My bad.... missed that...sorry

FThornton666

Cant you order it with CF trim as an AMG option? Id talk to my dealer and mention AMG customizing to them. Its like BMW Individual program.

I would love the dual clutch transmission to make its debut..

but I'm sure it will be saved for the 2009 E class AMG.

rumors the Twin Turbo Engines are coming soon.. therefore not sure how long the C63 name will last. Maybe 2 model years?

lauer87

Pano is not available as an option on the C63 for 08, i was told it was to keep the cars center of gravity down

kindafast

C32's came with carbon fiber interior trim

shakesby

Then the dealer was mistaken, I was not interested so didn't prod him on it. BTW I was spec'ing a 2009 car for July/August delivery.....
Wouldn't it be nice if MBUSA had the web site up to date and we could spec or build our own and possibly answer a lot of questions being asked.

I know you can order carbon fiber trim in other AMG cars, such as my upcoming SLK55 with AMG Performance Pack, and on the CLS63, you can choose your interior trim to be carbon fiber. Airmatic is not necessary, because the stock suspension is perfect, for me anyway. Parktronic would be nice, and so is the Keyless Go, but I don't know if they are necessary, car is as small enough to park without the need of sensors, and while Keyless Go is a worthwhile option, I always forget to take out the key from pocket for the valet to park the car.

I would like to see some wider rubber on this thing.

Responses in bold below


Here's what I'd like to see:

1) Race Start / Launch control
2) Weight reduction option
3) Leather stiched dash option
4) Even more agressive body styling
5) Keyless Go

When is this '09 model scheduled to appear ? Does anyone know ? I was thinking about buying the M3 primarely because of the lack of adjustable dampers of the AMG but now after reading this thread you gave me some hopes that maybe they will be included (at least as an option) on the new year model..

marc32

Late July or August when the first will start appearing is my guess

Obsidian C63

I have a July 10 2008 production date for a MY09.

realsanaii

SO, no keyless go option for '09 models as well?
That would suck..

I am seriously considering getting on the 2009 C63 train, but there are a few minor things that keep me from being 100% sure about the decision. Like Trez63 was saying, I would like to see a
1) Launch control option,
2) Weight Reduction
3) Leather options (or at least some interior dress-up) - I think AMG needs to help the C63 interior really stand out from the regular C's

Also, maybe this is just a personal preference but I feel this car would greatly benefit from a "M-mode" type button like on the M3 that pulls up a saved driver preference profile. (Maybe this already exists, if so, someone please correct me)

lets address these one by one.
adjustable suspension
not going to happen. never designed with it in mind.
rear parking sensors. your looking for code 220, parktronic. oh i forgot, MB USA doesnt offer it. the factory does, but USA block it.
comfort access? like lift the steering wheel out of the way when you get out?
standard fitment with memory front seats, codes 241 275
panoramic roof is not offered from the factory on C-Class AMG by deliberate choice, as it compromises the cars strength too much. yes, it is avalable for standard cars, but not the AMG
carbon fibre trim is available ex factory, code h73. oh, wait, MB USA doesnt offer it.


it would seem your problem (for the most)is your country of residence, not MB.
