I think the Clk63 BS style is getting "old". So wait for the new C63 BS

Its hard to wait for a car that hasn't been finalized. I would a little bit longer for some confirmation of a new BS. If it is confirmed and specs and images are released it will make the decision easier. That said, if an amazing deal on a CLK 63 BS comes your way...

You already have 3 cars with the M156. Isn't it time to change it up a bit?

Yes but they all feel and sound different. All the CLK63 Black Series guys rave about the handling of that model vs the rest of the AMG line up... but it would be great to try that new twin turbo too compare.... Not sure i could wait 1 0r 2 years for a car that might not even arrive

Obviously u seem to be in a position to do what you like.. You should; buy a clk bs keep it till the c bs then rave to all the clk bs guys how great the (new) c bs is and how far the technology has come. How awesome the power of the new tt motor is the crazy handeling improvements are, and most of all how insane the new trans is...

I think if both cars were available now the price of CLK Blacks would fall through the floor. C63 coupe TT would have 570hp, newer trans, throttle blipping, more modern body shape, hell even a sunroof! Black Series 'only has 500hp' looks fantastic, sounds phenomenal but will resale prices are sure to get hammered if C63 black ever arrives.

May be your right Dodger63, but look to get out of it early! Nice dilemma to have i suppose

Indeed a nice dilemma to have.
I personally love the CLKBS and there are less and less unmolested ones kicking around.
Also, if the new C BS comes with start/stop it will suck

Get the CLK63 BS. Enjoy it.

When the C63 BS Coupe comes out (If ever) Sell the CLK63 and get it.

Thanks guys, have found 2 iridium silver Black Series, one of which has only 5000 miles on it.

I figure it could be the back half of 2012 before a C63 coupe BS is available in Australia, assuming it comes at all.

In negotiation..

If I had the opportunity to own a CLK63 Black Series, you bet your a** I would get it. Now if the C63 Coupe Black Series, was to have the new engine then I might wait. But its a crap shoot for me, as specs on the new car hasn't been released yet. It's just alot of speculation at this point.

Check out the Feb 2011 of Motor Magazine, there is a section on the C63 Couple Black Series (with exclusive photo) It could arrive earlier than you expected. Only Guessing..

Beautiful car. Another one to your collection.
Did you see this http://www.carsales.com.au/news/2011...ss-coupe-23145

Don't think you will see an AMG version in Australia for a while though

Congrats on the purchase. Nice to be in a position to get what you want when you want
Hopefully you got it for a good deal and you will not lose much in the resale once the new BS comes out.
AMG-010: good find on the pics of the new C. It actually looks good.

IMO the CLK Black Series will remain a classic for as long as its around. Just the fact that its rare and the entire CLK brand has been discontinued it will remain quite unique.

Don't wait for something while we have no idea wether its coming out, jump on a CLK black series and you won't regret it.

You already have an Iridium Silver SL63. Send it back.

Very nice buy, keep us informed.

Well done mate!
I used to have one, lots of fun. Keep it out of carparks though as the lock is a killer and tyres lasted about 3000kms before replacing but was definitely worth it.

That one's been for sale for AGES. I think I saw it up about 6-8 months ago while waiting for my C.

Nice buy! I am still debating whether trade my C63 for a BS or not. Although I've always been a huge fan of the black, there is something about my modded C that still makes me doubt

Yes its been sitting there for quite a long time,
Thus they were very commercial from a pricing point of view...
