Talking 2012 C63 ordered

There we go, finally managed to pull the trigger.
I ordered a diamond white estate (without P31...) with 19" matte black rims and red calipers. Black and white designo seats (as shown in the pics), extended designo leather (if available, yet unknown) and designo roof. Command, panorama, distronic plus, Harman Kardon sound system, easy pack, keyless go etc etc.
Now i just have to wait until summer. The delivery is prolonged by 6-8 weeks due to the designo option, just so the rest of you know as well if you're thinking about it.

So excited

Congratulation!!!

I am waiting for the Coupe AMG to come out. Perfect time when my C63 lease is done. Then off to get the new S63 or SL63 for my aged S63

Sounds sweet! I see you also drive the facelifted ML 63. I think it looks great, especially compared to my old ML 63 i drove half a year ago. Love the new details.
Here's another thing people might enjoy to know...
The coupé will get the 6.2 litre engine we all have come to love and not the 5.5

15K € and he sadíd that the brakes are something like ceramic brakes and that they can't take any amount of gravel. During the summers i drive a 10km (6 mile or something) gravel road several times a week. That was the main deal breaker. Besides, i don't really need the increase in HP. Don't think it's gonna affect me much if it has 40 hp more or not. Or will it?

What is your take on the P31. Does it's pros outweigh what for you would be a 20500 $ option? I seriously need to know at this point when i can still change the order.

LSD should be a must, P31 for 21k in your country

Thanks for reminding me of the LSD! Gonna mail my contact straight away and ask him to add it.
And yes, i feel the same way about the P31 for that price. I ordered the calipers colored red for 900 €...good enough. I can always get a tune afterwards which will give more power anyway. As for the brakes i don't need high end brakes as i will most likely never take it to the track. Autobahn on the other hand.....
The only thing i'd like is the v-max.

Yes, so i was told today. It was a decision made not too long ago. They said something about not having time to develop the 5.5 in time for the coupé launch or something like that..

Congrats Nice choice on the setup.

Are you sure the C-class gets Distronic Plus?

Thanks!
No, it was still unsure. The c-class gets it, that's a fact. He said though that one of his foreign colleagues had mentioned that it might not be available for the AMG. Remains to be seen.
And without telling the link, just google c coupe 6.2 and rumor. Should pop up.

Oh, I remember seeing this vid before, he is a great driver and miss watching him in F1. I will never forget when he passed Schumi at Spa and also saw him at the Ring beating Schumi back in 98.

That bump the car takes when he hits the "side-thingy" on the track resulted in me having to change the cats and end pipes on one side...
