Here I am - one word, WOW
no pics yet bc i didnt bring my camera with me...ill take pics tomorrow and a detailed review will follow b/c I have a dinner tonight
The beige interior with black birdseye maple - jaw dropping. The two tone door panels and seat/seatbacks compliment the car perfectly. It really does add to a kind of practical interior. Very elegant and classy - TA-9ff - you will love it
the ride is so tight coming from my RRS and since Im running 22's on that car the C63 actually feels more comfortable on bumps
I babied it bc I need to get used to being so low to the ground, but the exhaust note even on soft acceleration (at 3k rpms) is exhilarating. No downshifts yet to hear the blip but I cant wait. At times its almost as if the exhaust note isnt coming from my car bc with the windows closed its actually very quiet.
Black was the right color for me, no regrets at all. Im glad I changed from white because I think I'd second guess myself on white.
Also I noticed on my car the wheel gap is very small. I feel as if I put 19's on it I might not need to drop the car, which Im very happy about.
Oh and I got Pirelli P-Zeros also and no front plate or dealer medallion. My saleswoman wasnt even sure if I wanted the Dealer logo paper on my rear plate frame since Im waiting on plates so she didnt put it on there - thumbs up to Benzel Busch. we had previously had some miscommunication but they went out of their way to make sure I was happy. If anyone in NNJ is looking for a benz, this is the place to go. Despite this only being my first car there, I think ive established a good relationship already and I will definitely be back.

Very jealous right now, since I won't be ordering until the end of this year.
Can't wait to see the pics of the new beauty, and read the review!

Congrats Pat!
You're right, there is not much wheel gap. MB made it look just right with the "little" 18's
btw, if you are looking for the best place to store your sunglasses, I have this suggestion (GBlansten)

Regarding the gap, I have to say I agree the stance from the factory is pretty good. However when I went to 19"s it didn't really change the gap that much, but like you already noticed it is no 4x4. But, you can still lower the car around 1-1/4" to take out the gap without the car looking slammed...just a nice subtle/classy drop. It is not as dramatic a change on almost every other factory car out there that badly need lowering, but it really helps improve the rear imo.
Has anyone else noticed the rear on stock suspension sits high? My friend noticed when following the car you can see the underside very easy. After going to coilovers and a lowered stance the rear squats much better.

Mine is pink but it is uncanny how close that one is to mine.
