After 8 long months, there is now a 2012 C63 P31 Sedan sitting in my garage.
Warning, very bad cell phone pictures attached.
Just picked her up, Magnetite Black, P31.
On the way home made a quick stop to put on the 19" AMG 16 spoke wheels and some Michelen PSS 245/275's that have been waiting patiently in the garage.
Tomorrow she gets the Eisenmann Race exhaust installed.
I'll take some proper pictures on Tuesday after I get a tint.
Thanks to everyone here for being patient with my ranting the last 8 months while I waited for this car, and making the wait much worse for me...
Looking forward to some local meet ups.
Now, waiting 1000 miles to break in the tranny is going to be impossible.

Please post more pics -- front, back, side, close ups, at a distance, etc.. BTW - those 19''s look incredible. I'm on the fence more than ever now..

Thanks man
She came with these:
IMO 18's were too small, 19 is the perfect fit.
The PSS 275's in the back fit perfectly.
Thanks! the pictures are ghetto and do it no justice. I'll take some legit ones soon.
Thanks bud Just exhaust wheels and tint for now.
If I ask about doing any other mods please talk me out of it.

They shipped them from the UK, took almost a month to get them here in LA, and there was a bit of damage on the inside of 2 of the wheels (sides facing the car)
Maybe others have had better experiences with ordering from from them...
All of the flares are the same size of previous years.
Some tire manufactures run wider then others, maybe that was the issue.

Congrats
Looks great on 19".
I don't like the new 18" at all. They don't look like AMG wheels anymore - more like AMG styling wheels for the standard C-class.
Perfect choice on the Magnetite paint as well. Looks really sharp.
Just FYI, If you're planning on lowering the car and putting some 10mm spacers in the back, you should know that the 275s will rub. I've tested it with the 19" Multispokes and the tires are too wide for this setup.

Thanks guys!
As soon as I finish breaking her in I'm down!
The color is interesting, depending on lighting conditions sometimes it looks black, then sometimes it looks dark grey.
Thanks for the heads up, I go back and forth about lowering it.
For now I will keep the stock ride height.
Eisenmann Race exhaust is getting installed this morning, need to take some proper pics next week. I'll snap some ****ty cell phone ones today.

Eisenmann Race is now on the car, it really takes the exhaust note to the next level without any droning.
I'm loving it so far.
Before
After
We spent a long time trying to get the fitment just right, I think it is as good as it's going to get.
I'm super OCD about the tips looking even.
They hang out much more then the OEM tips do, when they heat up they will probably come out a bit more. Little exhaust boners.
