C63 AMG Sedan (2012) coming in September to Australia alongside the coupe, BUT...
According to my dealer, the sedan version WILL definitely come with the new 5.5L biturbo once the E gets it. It MIGHT be the first badge of cars, i.e. the ones in September, OR the next set, i.e. in 2012. Well, there's certainty that the new 5.5 biturbo WILL be in the C, and very soon!

Lol, I understand your doubts Case1906. Heck, even I didn't believe him initially. But he was very reassuring about it, meh, who knows? Time will tell. But honestly, the new engine would be a killer on the small C chassis. Plus, it's more fuel efficient, and more powerful, albeit lacking the growl and bark of the 6.2. However, the noise the 5.5 makes is more refined. Sounds a bit like the RS4, more "gentle-like" if I may say so, which fits the C class perfectly. BMW's the cheesiest of them all, Audi's too discrete and Merc's bang on in the middle, at least that's what I (Malaysian) think.
GO AMG!

Dealers are so ill-informed it is beyond belief
The head of sales at my local dealer tell me in January this year when i was researching purchasing a CLK BS that mercedes are definately not working on Black Series for C63.
I would certainly not count on anything they say being accurate. At the time i could have shown him various photos already leaked but whats the point
