Mercedes South Africa havent released the BS on there systems, sales person says it should be soon . It's the worst like getting christmas gifts in July and having to wait.
C63 Bs is in diamond white, and four seater option. At time of ordering they had no prices on the vehicle or optional extras so played it safe.
As it is cost $187000.00. How much does the BS sell for in US or Canada.

Going past dealership today to see whats happening, will snap some more PICs

Wow, what a beautiful car!! Enjoy in good health.

The BS sells for around 140 000$ tax included.

Edit: The price is for Canada.

Sitting at Boksburg dealership. Apparently its the only 1 sitting on show room, all others are parked at MBSA in pretoria.
They wont give me the car cause MBSA hanve'nt released them yet. Apparently they want to have a lauch on the BS.

JUST GIVE ME MY CAR.

Nice, you have the non pano roof version, the north American cars have that added with no choice, it adds weight which some owners aren't to thrilled about, though I must say the black pano roof has grown on me....Congrats, hope you get to enjoy it soon.

I thought it was crazy that in the US you could get a C63 without the xenons...but at least here all the BS come standard with the lighting package.

I thought in other parts of the world it would be standard!

Found the car differs quite a bit from the US/Canada version. ie: lights - panoroof. (Thought Xenons would be standered)

I've attached the circular i got from mercedes when i placed my order and we get scr***d in this country, eg: you cant get the carbon package unless you get the aero package, we don't even get the drivers multimedia.

Yup my salesman screwed up a little and got my car delivered to the dealer, apparently all the C63BS are sitting at heado office awaiting a launch or something.

Dont care just want to drive my car NOW!!!

Still no word on when i will receive it. Will keep all posted.

FF. W212 E63 M156 non-pano 18" P2 ParkT NightV (gone but will be missed).
Beautiful. It's good you don't have the pano roof. Here in the States, there is nothing from MB or Bimmer without at least a sunroof. I really hope there is a delete option. It's not only the weight, but also the raised center of gravity, squeaks, and ugly IMO appearance from the interior and when it is opened. In addition, I don't want all that glass on top of my head when there is a roll-over.

wow! and DAMN! wish they'd give you car already! LOL......
you should go in and find some way to 'personalize' it only for a short time while it's there LOL, to kind of stick to 'em like they're stickin' it to you haha!
something that could be easily undone if need be!

can't wait for some more pix!
congrats!

She is such a beauty, I would'nt worry with options at all, 1st thing I would do is take her to Kylami and Gerotek.
