Hey I was just wondering how you got the 797 19" Black Alloys... I asked my agent and he said that he wasn't sure about it. Or is it a region thing and its not available in Canada :S

Must be a region thing. In Australia MB's are highly specced and a price to go with it. You can download the specs and options from the MB Aussie website.
If you need to put a post code put in 4000.

Cheers

Marty

Hi Boys, Advise please.... I didn't order LSD or Keyless Go.

I'm 48 years old , I'm not going to Track the car and I will drive with the traction on. No snow and good roads in Brisbane Australia with a climate like LA, hence I didn't order LSD.

No keyless go. Never had it before so didnt think I need it.

I can add these to the order what are you toughts?????

Cheers

Marty

I have ordered

650- White C63 coupe, X11 - Leather black, P30 - AMG Performance Pack,
797-19' Black Alloys.

I don't have LSD either and since your not going to drive your car around a track or that hard it's probably not worth it and I think It's a $5,000 option which you could spend on other things.
I like the Keyless Go, if you don't like it you can remove the start button and just use the key as normal. You can tell a car has Keyless Go as it has chrome on the doorhandles.
Decisions Decisions....

Congrats on the purchase. The specs on your car sounds so nice. White paint with black interior is choice.

Regarding LSD, if you can swing it financially, I'd say Go For It! The car has so much torque and without an LSD you do have to baby the throttle a bit more than I presume you would have to if you had an LSD.

Congrats on the car which is similar to my order except seats and LSD. I've not owned a C63 before but specced the LSD as I found on my old 335i coupe with spirited driving on typically rubbish Aussie roads lack of LSD meant you often struggled to get the power down in corners. Mid corner bumps were enough to seriously unsettle the rear. It was one of the main reasons I dumped the 335i for the RS4.
With C63's 600NM of torque, I figure the rear could probably benefit from a helping hand, on our roads at least.
BTW have you been to your dealer to see the coupe yet? They launched in Oz yesterday....

Up dated order today from standard white to Diamond White and added keyless go.

Still sitting on the fence on the LSD. Still have a couple of weeks to make my mind up.


Happy days

If you said you are not an aggressive driver, you will be once you get your car. I recommend LSD. I've started to slip on right turns, and I have LSD. Imagine without it.

Congrats, nice options too
Get the LSD, these cars should all have it standard.
If you drive spirited at all, you will be happy you have it.
This car begs to be driven hard and from a dig, the LSD hooks better.
You don't want to look back and wish you had it--I guess you can always go after market too--I don't like to mess with my cars so I spec'd everything from the factory.

Either way you'll have a blast and enjoy every time you drive it.
I'm going on 1 yr since I bought mine and I still smirk every time I pull in the garage--one of the "best" things I've ever bought.
Although, I wouldn't mind another 100hp
