C63 coupe P31, '11 G37s, '12 RR Evoque Prestige '10 QX56
C63 coupe order confirmed!

My order was confirmed yesterday! The items in question were the Red and Black AMG Leather, Carbon Fiber Interior Trim, and Parktronic (don't really need it, but since I'm having it built I want everything on it).

Here's my next car;

2012 C63 Coupe
Diamond White
Red and Black AMG Leather Interior
Carbon Fiber Trim
P31 AMG Development Pack. (SLS rods/pistons/crankshaft, 481hp, top speed 174mph, and a few other things)
LSD
Multimedia
Lighting Pack. (Xenon headlamps should have been standard)
Keyless Go
Parktronic
Lane Tracking
AMG Illuminated door sills
mBrace
I even splurged and got the wheel locks

I went with European Delivery, so I get to pick her up in Germany mid June.

Now that I have it all lined up, I need to decide what I'm going to do to her (other than use her to wage war on the asphalt).

Cars.
Congrats! That's almost exactly like my car except I will be ordering Diamond White with Black interior and no mBrace or Lane Track pack. I personally think lane tracking defeats the purpose of the car and don't think I want to pay for mBrace after 6 months.

2013's should be rolling out in a couple months. You're looking more towards the summer.

2012 C63 w/APX
Congrats! We'll both be getting our cars around the same time. Almost the exact same specs but I went all black on interior (magnetite exterior). Out here in Canada the diamond white comes with a $1600 price tag. I guess the paint comes from a company in japan which can't keep up with the demand, probably becuz of the earthquake and nuclear problems (at least that's what the dealer told me). Regardless, you car is going to be sick!!! Congrats again

You didn't happen to get it from MB in Littleton, CO? I almost had a deal locked on a car there, but someone beat me to the deposit. I am going to love it, can't wait (though I have to, so I'm envious).

I was dead set on Diamond White, but when I went in to order it there was a Magnetite Black coupe in the showroom. I had to flip a coin on DW vs MB. Honestly, I don't know whether I won or lost that one (both colors are so beautiful on this car). DW is $1,515 here, Magnetite Black is another premium color, I think its $720 or so.

I'll definately post some pics once I'm in Germany.

Thanks guys, glad to be part of the club. (elated, to tell the truth)

Congrats on your purchase The diamond white color is stunning, especially when it gets a little darker. Then you can really see the difference between it and calcite white. I would've gone with the same interior as you but i didn't exactly have the support from my wife so black and white it was :P

That's funny. The car I test drove had the Porcelain/Black and I really liked it, but my wife was into the Red/Black (which I also like, so no need to squabble).

Win/win I guess.

Yeah, don't get me wrong, i love my interior and in retrospect i'm glad about my choice. At least over here it is easier to sell "neutral" colors.

Got this in the mail the other day...



MB Museum tickets, breakfast/lunch voucher, insurance and shipping info, etc.

How do I cope with waiting for the coupe? The wait is driving me nuts already.

Thanks BK, she's going to be a beauty.

Has anyone ever done Euro delivery before? I'm hoping to get some pointers.

Also having a hard time figuring out how I'm going to get all my wife's crap from Germany to Paris.

Thought I would update this.

So, the European Delivery experience was awesome. Germany is an absolutely beautiful country, rolling green hills, dense forests, amazing mountain ranges (alps), etc. Driving the car there was surreal. I highly recommend the ED route, if you have te patience for it. I won't have the car for another 5 to 6 weeks.

The people there are great too. Everyone is very kind and considerate. I thought the autobahn would be crazy, but no one drives like a douche, no one passes on the right, and slower traffic stays to the right, only passing on the left when necessary. Very clean also, no trash anywhere.

Some pics.

Here are a few from the Kundencenter delivery area;




As she rolled out.

and a Matte Black 4 door A5 in the hotel parking lot. I also saw a brand new 4 door 6 series BMW diesel. I didn't know either of these came in a 4 dr.

Beautiful car & congrats for enjoying your ED experience.

Your car looks fully loaded... but I would've oredered the OEM 19's. Still nice though.

Congrats on the new car. That must have been a great trip. It definitely made me rethink what I will do when I buy my next one.

If you take European Delivery, do you have to get the car shipped on your own or is that still done with the dealer?

Honestly, I was afraid to check. Only screws I noticed are the two that appear to be below the bumper. More of a "clamp" bracket, I hope.

Yup, loaded. I really wanted the standard 795 wheel, but was told they weren't available. I'm switching to some 19" HRE's once this first set of tires goes.

Congrats! It's a blast to drive, but now I'm back to waiting again (for it to reach the states).

I'm already looking forward to my next ED purchase. Not sure what I'll be getting though. It was a blast.

The ED experience is definitely worthwhile. I'm already planning on doing it again. The shipping is included in the cost of the car (although the Destination and Delivery charge is waived). The shipping details are handled by Mercedes, you just drop it off with the Shipping and Logistics Co. when you're done driving her.
