Talking Soon to be an AMG owner :)

Just want it to say HELLO to everyone here. I picking up 2008 C63 next Tuesday and literally, I can't wait Car is in a very good condition, one driver (lady) 20 K km on it, black on black, premium and AMG performance. I am coming from another German camp - VW/Audi, but I've had Merc in the family for 2 years now - my wife's C230. I fell in love with C63 instantly. The sound, the POWER! The thing that people say about RS4 it also applies to C63 I think - it's a Wolf in a sheep clothing. It can be settle looking a family sedan on the road, but God forbid to **** this thing off

Anyways, the first thing that I am going to mod it's those ugly orange side markers, already ordered set from eBay. Here is the picture of soontobemine C63. I am assure you that all swirl marks will be gone after my treatment with Porter Cable

Congratulations. Check the oil level the minute you get your car. This thing is very thirsty for oil.

2009 Black C63 AMG
The first AMG Performance Packages were screwed up from the factory. They only had the LSD and the speed delimitation. I turned down one of these to wait another two months for a complete PP. Should have the separate options listed on the window sticker. To the OP; best of luck and you should be able to get right on it, since your car is already broken in.

You are correct. These are snow tires on the stock RIMs. She is giving me those along with performance tires that are currently unmounted. I am planning to put performance tires back to stock RIMs and winter on replicas or steeles. I am also planning to fix those curb rushes on those stock rims next winter while they are off the car. BTW, anyone can recommend a good shop to fix AMG rims in Toronto area?

Steels won't work for AMG, because of the huge brakes, the factory snow tire set is 5000 CAD + 13% tax, really expensive, replicas will be reasonable

Sorry to tell you this, but the 2008 didnt even have the 030 package which is the half version of the full PP Package... That package was not availible untill the 2009 models, and the first half were produced with only LSD and Top Limit removal...

All the people with the performance pack, how many of you actually track the car, probably not very many, so unless you actually put it to use, your only gloating and bragging, not bad for $6000.
