Wow...lots of standard features and $105k base. Really, if youre not into the CF or track stuff and just want a well equipped BS - you're looking at around $110k - 19" wheels, amg technology pack...much less than I thought!!

Congrats to those who have this thing on order, looks gorgeous.

I was gonna say, whoever posted this in in for a world of trouble. I've had my hands on the C63BSDOG for a little while now and they couldn't strees enough that I was absolutely not allowed to post it anywhere and since I have one on order I didn't want to lose my allocation or something.

Not sure why they are keeping this so secret, I would think they would want to publicity?????

If the black series is coming in at 105 base. I will pass, I was looking at the 90 to 95 range . It's still a C class. For 105 base 2012 Porsche 911S, with remarkable value and resale. For the same price, I'd get a Porsche. I know what's 10k more, it's the exclusive status q. The reason why it is hash, hash because there's going to be a price gouging spat between dealers. I am disappointed, maybe I'll wait a year and buy it used for 80k.

Good luck Enjoy your exclusive Porsche along with about 10,000 others

Too bad France doesn't have access to the Lounge !!
Here in France we still don't have the base price and options.........

Exclusive C-class that is pricing itself out the market. I can't wait to see the final numbers. 105 base, carbon 8k, 5k tech, 6k black wheels stealerships a little of the top. (Price gouging) tax, plaque.
Shazam . 140k then u should of got the Porsche gt3. But, just food for thought.

The CLK Black was just under $140K and it was built on the C Platform. The fact that this car is 3 years newer, should perform better and if you limit the options could be bought for $115K is amazing to me.

Check the CLK Black forum, the people that own them love them. I suspect that we will hear the same from the owners of the C Black next year.

Rather than debate all day about C63BS vs GT3 ( GT3RS is a better performance comparison) I will just refer to the bold pricing statement above and remind you that MB has sold out the entire production run already. Do you believe they should reconsider pricing from your perspective and refund the difference?

Oh God, not another Porsche guy....I priced the brand new model 911S a few weeks ago, the base price is 110K Canadian, then dressing the car up with the comparable options that the Black Series is equipped brought me to 148K Are you kidding me? My 911S will barely be distinguishable from all the thousands of 911 cars, only the Porsche guy will notice. You guys can keep your boring, pathetic sounding flat 6 cars and I will announce my presence with the monster V8 that will sooner or later will die due to all these more efficient cars on the horrizon.....seriously, about resale, the CLK Black Series still fetches some pretty high numbers, imagine when MB moves to these smaller engines, my BS will be retaining its value.

I have a black series on order for the regional area that I'm in. Only 3 or 4 are allocated for area. I don't know the base price. The numbers need to add up. The car is nice, I Don't buy on impulse and I don t like to be had. MB can sell it for 200k I don't care, it's business. Statistical it makes no since to hit above 110k complete. People are on Lists not on order, so I'll see my options when the numbers come out. By the way thier not sold out for black series thier just getting a tally.

mvagusta

By the way the clk was a classic hammer. The new c63 black is going to be produced as a wagon and convertible . So when it comes to being exclusive the clk black was and is. The c63 black is going to be diluted, this is why numbers make sence, men lie, women lie, numbers don't....I had a Porsche and just got out of a e-92 M3 now a 550. I'd like the c63 as a summer toy at a reasonable price. (100k out the door). We'll see or I'll wait for used.

rory breaker

Who says it will be produced as a wagon and convertible? In your post you suggest that MB is going to do 3 things they have never done - a BS wagon, a BS convertible, and more than a limited run. Lots of assumptions there, just saying.

If you want a summer toy, get a loaded regular C63 and pocket the $20k difference, there you go.

mvagusta

Autoblog had a spy picture of a wagon with the c platform. (assumming its a black series from editor) You are correct a loaded c63 amg would make due for the time being. Decisions..

rory breaker

They also had a BS sedan "spy" article...and one from a year back too before the coupe was officially introduced. Dont let any of that fluff influence your decision now...all speculation.

Carac

I believe all of allocations have been distributed, so the people that are getting one, know they are getting one because their dealers called them, confirmed the order, and printed off a build sheet with prices etc. That's why we have a price/dealer guide. If you only put a deposit down and havn't been contracted...more than likely you aren't getting one. The dealer I have my SLS ordered through thought they were getting one, but they aren't. MB are only distributing 2 per AMG Performance center, with a few of them getting three as a reward for the money and effort they spent becoming AMG Performance Centers. So the people who were on lists now have orders, and they have sold out.

Also, if anyone downloaded the order guide before it was deleted, please either delete it or keep it confidential, it was not meant for public release.

1st amg

I am not sure where you get this info, wagon, sedan, convertible.....it is obvious with you being a new member here you are not well informed. This forum is full of well informed people who most of the time confirm anything that they post, you just seem to be constantly trying to justify to yourself of why you wouldnt spend "porsche" money on a Black Series. I think you are better off on sticking to the more generic brand of BMW.

1st amg

mvagusta, just wondering why you claim to drive a BMW M5 in you sig, yet you commented that you had a M3 and now drive a 550......

AMG Dictator

See, look how easy they are to get!

AMG Dictator

And the dealership had no one already asking for the car? How does this happen at a Performance Center?

Are you selling it for MSRP?

mvagusta

I was asked to fill a V.I.P form from the owner of the dealership and a memo from the owner. He assured me that he can get one with the 4 dealerships that he owns.I'm sure theirs one, if not I'm going to talk to you soon. If the price is reasonable.

mvagusta

Generic BMW? M5,550? editing mistake. I had more sport coupes and motorcycles then you have shoes in your young life. Also remember this a rumor is only half true. The black series c63 will get deluted some way or form. The clk is and will be original.

emericr

the BS C63 will be available pretty readily as many people who are on the list and have one coming will soon realize that a $135K C class makes no sense.
The economy is not the same as when the original CLK black came out.
I have already been contacted by 3 dealers stating they have one available to sell.
I have posted many times that anything over $100K will not attract many buyers.
For $135K, I am personally thinking of getting the Vantage S. Obviously not as fast but fast enough.
