New black C63...

Took delivery of my new C63 last week. Working to get some miles on it so I can really see what its capable of...

A couple of things that suprised me...
- The sound... Never heard an MB sound like it. (I LOVE IT)
- Transmission, an automatic that agressively downshifts on its own...sweet.
- comfort of seats on a long drive.

Have any of you had the 1k-3k mile AMG service of the car? I hear it is a major inspecion to include everything from oil change to head bolt inspection and included in the price.

What is the cost of the Renntek upgrade?

Unless there's new service plans coming up for AMG vehicles, the first service is pretty much just a saftey inspection with a diagnostic quick test. The only difference that I know of for AMGs is a change of the differential fluid for the vehicles with limited slip; sl65, clk63bs...

Just spotted the first one in our area today. Sitting at a red light and I just have to say WOW!!!! What an amazing and aggresive look Benz gave this car.

LOVE LOVE LOVED it. Was babying it as most of you guys are to break her in. Still good hear the rumble inside my QX56 as he went by.

All black one.

Only could grab a behind shot on the camera phone.

This makes a lot of sense. I recall my e46 m3 needing a 1500 miles service for that very reason - to change the diff fluid.

I'll get pics up this weekend. Black with bone seats and black interior. SHARP!

I'll update about the service as I get close to the milage. I'm quickly racking up the break in milage so i can see what it will do.

Anyone know the cost of the RenTek upgrade package? Its not posted on the site yet.

With regards to the 1st? 1k service , My car is due in to local MB dealer tommorow eveing for i-pod kit , I will ask him on the ervice intervals, I'm sure it 's the standard spanner on the dash via assyt which advises service due. Dont think the C63 is any different from any other benz
Keep you posted , I 'm just off the phone from MB dealer and asked price of Mobil 0-40 Oil , charge was to be $180 / £89 for a 4litre bottle , christ I'm only wanting a top up. Google to the rescue & hey preso good old Costco suppiles Mobil @ $45 / £22 per 4 litre
