So I pulled the trigger, placed my order with my local dealer.

I am currently working abroad and will be back home in a couple of months so I am more excited than I have ever been in my entire life!

Dealer has told me I have a week or so to confirm my spec which is the following so far:

HK audio
LSD
Diamond white met
Black 19s
Command Online

I am slightly confused regarding interior colours. I would like the AMG ivory however dealer is not sure yet if I can order all ivory interior. I know they have given me an option of ivory/black which will do I guess.

Am I correct in assuming all amg leather colours are available as a no cost option?

Not going for PP as I will most likely get her some headers and a tune in the future so will just save the cash for that.

There is no extra ipod integration option my dealer says command comes with everything I need to hook up ipod/iphone and usb storage device?

11 Years ago I bought my first Mercedes, a w203 c200 k which I still own today, nothing but a pleasure to own. I now look forward to another decade or so with a new Mercedes. I can't ever see myself selling either. I'm a terrible hoarder

Cannot explain how excited I am

Congrads! You are very lucky and blessed to have such a wonderful car coming your way.

The ivory/black isn't so much of the interior I would go for but if you like red then go with red/black which will look good depending on your exterior color.

As per the AMG leather there are two options, the MB Text which should be an no cost but in the states the full leather upholstery costs $720 extra. Also the new Command does in fact come with what you mentioned but I would suggest getting the Multimedia package for enhanced voice control and the in dash 6 disc changer.

Keep us posted!

Many thanks. In the UK 'AMG designo leather' and command are no cost options so I'm pretty pleased with that. I also think the the Command package here comes with multimedia package, I know that it comes with reverse camera at least.

I fell in love with the new colour dash cluster screen, it's a thing of beauty, especially when it reads Race Start.

Anyone here have a white 2012 with ivory interior?

Also I have noticed people still choose calcite white over diamond white. I am 99% sure on the diamond at this stage.

Hi,

I have Diamond and so does PCHO. We both love it. We have black wheels but also black Int. Aussie cars are like UK ( very highly specs with lots of ticks) Check out our car posts. There are a few pictures. DW looks best in sunlight and not as photos as they tent to look a bit creamy pinky pearly. Live they are white and they sparkle in the sun.

Well done on your order and look forwarding to you joining the DW Coupe Club.

Cheers

S32 package comes with voice control, only advantage to MM is rear view cam included instead of a separate line item.

Don't see keyless go there, definitely a must have.

Looks like what they offer in Canada as well. Black/Porcelain Single Tone AMG designo Nappa Leather upholstery, without additional charge. The dash, door trim, center council, seat backs, etc are black and the seating surfaces and door inserts are porcelain (white). Every car in Canada comes with black interior trim.

I second the keyless go.

Will tell the dealer about adding to keyless go to the spec. Totally forgot about that. It's not too badly priced either.

Yes the interior you mention is the exact one I am after. I know it will be prone to getting dirty but I will spend the extra time to maintain it because it just looks so nice. I love the Ivory leather shade. It makes the interior feel more special, at least for a few years anyway.

I'm looking at a delivery date around start to middle of June which is perfect for me, roll on the summer. Will hopefully drive it over to France for a road trip to break her in.

Congrats on the C63, you will love it!

The wait is tough but the car will be more than worth it.

Spec is now as follows:

Diamond white met
Single tone amg designo leather - ivory
HK audio upgrade
Command online inc media interface
Keyless go
DAB radio
AMG illuminated door sill panels
LSD
Black 19s

How is the HK audio? Have heard it in BMW's many times and its pretty good, is it much different in the c63?

It's quite amazing, I was driving my c200K earlier, over 11 years old and I've only done 66k on it, seems to get quicker and quicker as the years go on. I love it to this day. You can only imagine how excited I am about my c63

HK is good, similar to BMW. I would go with a different interior personally but everyone has their interests. White just seems too hard to take care of and honestly white on white with black wheels, not for me. Just giving you opinions while you can still make changes.

Also I didn't get parktronic, if I could do it again I probably would, if it's low enough that it helps with curbs when pulling forward into spaces.

White with white (white/bright...."light' coloured) interior is too much.........not enough contrast...go for a darker interior to give some sort of contrast/character between interior & exterior. (Don't know if I am explaining myself too well here?)
Cheers, Pickles.

I'm also getting C63 AMG in early June, going over to the factory to collect, can't wait. I note you have added Keyless Go to your spec. My dealer told me it is not available on the UK model, have you definitely had it confirmed you can have it?

rory breaker

I cant stress enough how important keyless go is after not having it in my 09 and having it in my 2012. If the dealer said it isnt available, I would find another car, as lame as that sounds, dead serious.

White on white is that new ish...congrats. Sick combo. I'd do the exact same...

LOVE the HK system really nice sound.. ...

natman316

second that. I nearly cheaped out of getting it...thank god I didnt. best feature ever. (its not just the button, but the touch to open door handles and I think the trunk function that you can open the trunk with your key in your pocket while the car is locked). and at ~700 usd....very good value as well.

I didn't know HK made our exhausts!!

I had the sound system on once or twice and then decided to turn it off to listen to the real music

Mort

LOL...I listened to the Sirius radio until the subscription ran out. The HK did sound great but the car is its own sound system and that is what I enjoy most. I have only played one CD, Bob Dylan..Modern Times...LOL

That's all folks.

I really liked the Porcelai/Black interior when I saw it (tester).

Congrats!
