The article is written by Chris Harris. Nice write up, does not go in any real detail about "city street" driving. Pretty positive across the board, only slight negative was the trans. Not as good as the DCT from BMW M3 GTS. a common theme on all the articles I have read about the 63 black to date. Pictures were taken at the Laguna Launch in the States, Solar Beam Yellow. 4.5 stars.

I'm not sure where you get your information, but nobody is marking the BS over 30k MSRP. That's looking at 160K. And the BS has the rear differential taken from the E63 which is completely rebuilt.

Go to the Private Lounge. The car is MSRP 105,000. Completely optioned out though your looking at less than 130K. The cars that are being sold at that price obviously are coming fully equipped with Aero and Track Pack, AMG Media Center etc.

C63 BS, GLA45
The dealers marking it up are not AMG Performance Centers (only APC's are getting allocations from MBUSA and MBCanada), so I'm guessing they've purchased an allocation from other dealership, confirmed the specs, and marking them up for resale when they arrive.

2018 E63S Wagon
Gas Tax is $1700 on a C63, and destination is $850
So, Fully optioned $137150 plus sales tax (would be $141264.50 in VA, and another $2743 in personal property tax Jan. 1st)
All options except black rims and matte paint is $132200 ($136166 and $2644). Plus insurance probably around $1.5-2k a year (clean record on a $140k car with no demographic data).
If you're like me I try to block all those other costs from my mind when buying to make me feel better about the price.
And who wants to be the guy that ordered no options on a car they only made 75 of (in the US).
