2012 C63 ordered
#26
P31 absolutely NOT worth $20,000 option price. That's insane.
Whether the LSD is a "must" is debatable, but you can always have a Quaife LSD installed for $3k-$4k depending upon install price.
$20k for P31...

Tell that to the Aussies. Aren't their preowned C63s $160,000?

Congrats on the C63 I know you are going to love it.
P31 is $7800 Cdn here and includes the LSD. Guess we are lucky here compared to some other countries.
Good luck filling in the time waiting on delivery. I spent a lot of time here and looking for videos to keep me amused. Fortunately it was last winter and not a good time to have a C63 on the road. My car is in storage now and it will be like getting a new car with more mods in the spring.

Thank you!
No, it's a special color, but still not a designo color. The designo colors were around 6-8k € whereas this one was somewhat over or under 2k, can't remember which one. When i checked out the samples it seemed somewhat brighter, yet somehow it got a sort of matte look. Very hard to explain, but it looks awesome It is actually the same color as the white one we've seen pictures of. And same matte black 19" multispoke wheels. Should look good.

3.5K € here my setup would be setting me back 160k, but MB uses it as a demo the first few months which shaves off a significant amount of money from the price I'm gonna do the 1000 km run in the beginning myself.

Perfect...heard from my dealer that the Diamond white color is unavailable for the unforeseeable future.The reason is the disaster in Japan which apparently has affected the delivery of some chemicals or something of the sorts. So..back to the drawing board.
I told him that i wanted a matte white or silver car instead in that case but the response was that designo is not offering any matte colors to the c (!?).
Any other good and special color suggestions? I don't want it to look like a generic C-class..

Wow that sucks. To be honest I wouldn't get the matte paint for Finnish winters. It would probably be difficult to keep it in shape.
What about calcite white?
Just order it with the cheapest non-metalic paint available and repaint it haha
OR just get the SLS special grey/silver for 10000EUR

Nah, my wife has a calcite white C200...
And 10000 € (+ finnish car tax) sounds kinda steep for a color :P The mercedes matte finishes seem to have a good coat on them so it shouldn't really differ much from their regular paints (at least according to mb..). Black looks awesome when clean, but the problem i have with black is that many details just kinda disappear into the color, such as the diffuser or "gills" in the front bumper.
I have some thinking to do...after all the color is in my opinion one of the more important decisions when buying a car..

A CF diffuser solves the problem of being invisible. I think black is kinda cool on the estate once clean (pics taken today)

If I were ordering a C63 right now, it would be either white (not available), black (obsidian), steel grey, or palladium silver.

Alright, finally settled for palladium silver. i saw it on a C coupe and it looked awesome. Decided to take the P30 as well despite of the steep price. The reason was quite shallow: i didn't want a faster C63 to smoke me just because i was unwilling to spend an extra dime...

Hey Jycke - the waiting game is killing me too. Your C63 build is going to be awesome.
Do you know which multimedia option you got?
There are now 2:
Multimedia Package (320)
- (218) Rear View Camera
- (396) Voice Control
- (512) COMAND w/Navigation and Voice Control - TBD
Multimedia Package II (S32)
- (396) Voice Control
- (527) Navigation Module-E - TBD
When I switched my order from black to magnetite black last week the ordering system made us click on Multimedia Package II (S32) saying Multimedia Package (320) will not be produced after 6/2011.
No idea what the difference is. My dealership is going to call the factory to figure out whats what...
If anyone here knows whats up, please chime in.
