New C63 Owner Checking in :: 2010 Steel Grey

Picked up my 2010 C63 AMG last week. Getting smoked reflectors next week and the Kleemann K1 tune after the break-in. I'll be doing before and after dynos on a Dynojet Model 424xLC2.

This is my first MB/AMG, coming from two previous BMWs. I owned an E60 2006 M5 (Stock) and an E92 2008 335i (Dinan Stage III) previously.

So far I'm loving the new car. The torque and exhaust note is intoxicating!

Options and photos below.

755 Steel Grey
201 Black AMG Premium Leather
732 Black Maple Wood Trim
P02 Premium II Package
318 AMG Leather Package
320 Multimedia Package
889 KEYLESS-GO
218 Rear View Camera
359 Tele Aid
293 Rear Side Airbags

Congrats... I picked up mine over 2 weeks ago with same options, except for rear-view camera. Great car, isn't it? Mileage is terrible though. I thought my GL450 was bad, this one is a lot worse... I will have mine Kleemannized next year as well...

Great car, indeed.

More thoughts:
  • Gas mileage is on par with my M5 averaging around 14 combined city/hwy.
  • Stock for stock, my M5 was much faster up top, but man the C63 has gobs more torque.
  • The seats are a little "tight" for me @ 6'3"/220lbs but I'll get used to it.
  • The steering is surprisingly crisp.
  • Rear camera is cool but I would have preferred front/rear parking sensors.

Congrats and Nice color option! I am really liking the steel because it accents the lines of the body better. With black sometimes they are hidden. Enjoy your new animal and welcome...

Thanks. I'm definitely a fan of the Steel Grey. Was very similar to the color of my 335i (Sparkling Graphite)

Thanks guys!

Boost, I remember you from e90post. I still post there every once and a while. Here's my old 335i and M5. Both were great rides!

We can see you in a pair of jeans, white tennis shoes and the tripod in the reflection.

Congrads and very nice color choice(s). I personally think you can't find a better color for an M5 than that blue - enjoy the torque. It changes you...

Carb Connection in Kirkland has been my choice. $75 usually gets you 4-pulls as part of a dyno-day.

They even give you the dynojet runfiles after wards. I've got a bunch from my old M5, a local Viper, and a few tuned 335i cars. It will be nice to compare the graphs.

I'll find out when the next dyno day is scheduled and make sure you get an invite.

Looking for CLS55 AMG
if you're looking to save a couple of bucks hit up eurocharged for the tune vs. kleeman.

Less money and more power

www.eurocharged.com

I also come from a 335i!!!! congrats!k

I appreciate the suggestion. I would love to hear and see some facts that support the "more power" vs. Kleemann comment. If you have this data, please post in a new thread. I imagine the entire community would benefit.

See the following link:

If there are any discernible differences between the tunes, the thread above does a good job of comparing them--since the different tunes were compared on one and the same dyno.
