2016 AMG C63 S
It's all my wife's fault.... And I am very happy about it!!
Full disclosure; I am a BMW fanboy. Not rude or disrespectful like so many out there that give guys like me a bad name, just a guy who really enjoys BMW's. I am also a guy who loves performance machines, no matter who makes them. Audi, MB, BMW etc. If its a performance model you have my attention.
Back in 2004 my wife and I bought a new E320 and had it for 3 years and really enjoyed it. We have been fortunate enough to be able to afford nice cars and even though we tried different brands (Infiniti and BMW) the MB really stuck in my wife's head. A little over 6 years ago we started a company with the initals AMG, not on purpose, it just worked out that way. Ever since then my wife has wanted an AMG.
Back to 2011/2012; Last November I found a beautiful 2008 E60 M5, Indy red, manual, just over 30k miles. I really love the V10! My lovely supportive wife agreed that it was time I turned in my 07 335i for this M5 with one cavat, her next car had to be an AMG. How could I say no!!
The BMW dealer I buy my cars from had been on the lookout for a C63 AMG for months with no luck. My wife is picky and had to have dark gray so it took a while. Honestly I didnt think she would like the car once she drove it since it is a much different car than the E we had before. In fact I almost had her in a 2011 E350 coupe that I was ready to pull the trigger on. Then out of nowhere I get a call from my sales guy telling me they just took in a 2010 C63 as a trade for a new M3. Great I said! We will be over in a litte bit to check it out. Lo and behold my wife loves the car. Not just the looks, which is really important to her, but she liked the ride as well. Long story longer, we traded in her 2008 535i for this beautiful C63!
Since this is her DD I didnt really have a chance to spend any time at all in the car until yesterday. Needles to say I am impressed. Great power, great handeling, all around a great car. The sound is incredible as well. I love the M5 V10 exhaust note and I love the AMG V8 exhaust note. Both very different but awesome none the less. It's officially my "weekend" car!
All this week, every time I open the door to our garage I can't believe how fortunate I am! Two cars that I never thought I would own, even one at a time, are now at my disposal on a daily basis. Amazing.... I am a very thankful man.
Anyway, sorry for the long post. Here are a few pictures. Sorry they are not that great, I'm just not a great photographer!! I hope to see some of you guys around sometime!!

The Halogen headlamps have a chrome surround, while the bi-xenons are gunmental.

Nice stable! congrats!
I think C63 came with halogen headlights for 2010+ models because MBUSA removed xenons from premium 1 (which is included with the c63) and had a separate "lighting package".
for pre facelift models, smoked= xenon, chrome= halogen

Congrats on the pickups. I too, love performance vehicles, be it AMG or any other performance studio. We are indeed fortunate to be able to enjoy them.
P.S. Welcome to the dark side, young sith lord.

Thanks for all the compliments guys!
To answer a few questions: My company is Advanced Management Group, we are a property management company in Las Vegas. We manage houses and apartment complexes.
Sorry, no extra pictures of my house (just a little creepy! LOL!!) It's just a regular tract home, nothing that special. I would rather spend my disposable income on cars rather than a bigger home...
As far as the headlights go I was kind of disappointed but I figured I would just upgrade to HID lights. A retrofit should not be that difficult correct? I'm just exploring my options right now.
There are a few cosmetic mods I am planning but nothing on the power front right now. At least not until my wife gets used to the new-found power!!
