Appoligies for the previous posts regarding the Pano roof , it was ordered from Factory , but somehow didnt come with it & have been given a normal tilt & slide sunroof.
The MB saleman couldnt even explain why, perhaps no point moaning as car arrived much quicker than they first advised, even although car was orderdd some 10months ago, mpg is currently about 20 -23mpg @80mph [Car now done 950mls] Salesman kept telling me I had to run it , the last time I run a motor in was a bike & that was some 10 years ago.
Best thing about the car , must be the exhaust note & the ability to sprint quick whilst overtaking in B class county type roads. Amazing performance along with road holding.
Hope to get some more photos next week along side my brothers C63 , same colur so probably a bit boring but will post anyway. Will show more interior & sunroof area.
Cheers

Well, I had a black obsidian ordered a few weeks ago, but since you have posted these beautiful pics of the tenorite, I have been having some sleepless nights as this color just does it for me, so yesterday I went in a changed the color to tenorite with the black napa....now the quest for your wheels begins, this is a tough search as I cant find them anywhere...you lucky sob! Seriously, your car IMO is probably them best C63 I have seen to date. Hope you post some other pics soon, I am sure there are lots of members waiting.

I found a set of those original wheels, original AMG part numbers and all, company is based out of the UK, 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 with a 42 offset, like I said, the real deal, with rubber and tps monitors, shipped to my door here in ottawa, canada for only $6000.00, what a great deal
Looks like I may have to put my family on a Kraft dinner program for a while, LOL!

Anyone considered painting (by what durable method I'm not sure) the gray section of the standard 18's to match the body color (assuming you don't have palladium or tenorite etc)? Not even sure if this is practical, but thought it could look nice.
BTW, I'm thinking of cryogenically suspending my being until my mid-July delivery. I guess patience isn't one of my virtues

Many thanks on the kind comments from all of you
Will post pics of my brothers & my car later this week when we meet up, promise to take inside & outside etc
Better go and burn some more rubber Thats 1200mls done now, BTW I smoked a new style M3 Could it be he wasnt trying? He had his sunroof & window open
, He heard me come from behind him pardon the pun & as I passed him he tried to catch me , he did when I encountered a roundabout I used the paddles to downshift and the car just burbled and backfired sort of like the GP JCW Mini
The guy was pretty shocked 
Think I had the last laugh as the C63 looks subtle and discreet

Car looks great, and gray is awesome in wet climates as it doesn't require the constant cleaning of a white or black car.
No worries about the Pano, unnecessary weight in the wrong place. Does the car have the 030pkg?
GP JCW does sound mean and 220bhp from a 1.6 is v impressive. As goes the M3, well the C63 is faster in a straightline and less prone to driver error.

Was advised by the MB dealer not to spec the 030pkg because he wasnt sure if they were even going to go full production with this and if so it would have been a August 2008 + build
Shame would havemade the car less twichy at speed in b class roads. Must be the best drive I have had & i though the Mini GP JCW was fun

Congratulations on a nicely specced car. 030 may have made it more twitchy on less than perfect asphalt unless it is adjustable, though LSD is great on high powered RWD cars.
