You need some wheels for this car! Go Go!
the interior is beautiful.

i think it definately eclipses the exterior in this case.

I washed the car today and took some more pictures which I have added to the original post.

Some of those pictures are taken on the 17 Mile Drive near Monterey. The rest are on the way home to SoCal.

Thanks! I love gunmetal rims, but even the stock rims look pretty good on this car!

My Steel Gray 2010 had black leather, but the sahara beige does look a lot better with quartz blue. There is something really classy about it. 19" Euro wheels will look pretty nice on this car, but considering I just wrote a check for the entire purchase price, I'll have to wait a bit before I start spending more money on this car .

I go back and forth between liking the interior and the exterior more. The blue is very unique and stunning when the sun starts setting. The interior makes the car stand out from the crowd of black interior cars. The carbon fiber trim also goes really well with the sahara beige leather.

Not anymore, my Ph.D. at CMU is not going well, and my Apple and FB stocks are tanking... so it will be a while before I am looking at cars, plus my C63 only has 4400 miles on it.

No, my C63 IS my DD, but it is just that I live pretty close to CMU and don't go to school every day, as I am a lazy hermit after all. Thank god that I am not yet a NEET or a hikikomori .

You bought FB!? Hope things get better for you at CMU. Advanced degrees can be a grind sometimes. Hang in there!
Wow, you only have 4400 miles!! I remember talking to you last year when you had around 2k miles on your car. 2400 miles in a year is even less than I put on my Lotus!

Yeah, that's about right, and this is why I will be driving and not flying down to Florida later.

p.s. you may need to check the underside of your new ride as Monterrey is pretty close to the ocean.

I think the dealership is about as close to the ocean as I am here in Irvine. What should I look for? Was there anything on your car when you bought it?

Just normal corrosion due to salt. Mine was ok as it didn't sit in their lot for too long, but you can never be too careful.

Nice pics, but why so dark? It needs to be under the sun. You should email AMG for the stickers too.

I caught the last few minutes of daylight today (around 8pm). The increased the contrast a bit, so the pictures look a bit darker.

What stickers are you talking about?

Those last pics are tremendous! Imagine how good it could look without those horrible orange side markers you guys in the states have to have. Only further suggestion is a subtle smoking of the tail lights. That would look insane
