2013 C63 Black Series
Where did you find your new BS? I am aware of only 3-4 available for sale right now (new), all at an asking price of $40k+ over MSRP... if you want to send a private message, and dont want to post here, ok... just want to learn from your success if you leveraged a different search technique or just bit the premium price bullet! thanks

You already got my PM so you know what my car has and what I paid.
As for the car itself: WOW what a car.
Im still a little mad at the dealer as they gave me a normal C Class Manual and they "claim" they dont know about the black series manual which is BS (no pun) because Rage sent me pics of his. So I have to learn the AMG Perf Media thing on my own which is rather simple and fortunately I know the MFD well from my other 2012's but still...

I am not sure if it was your car but what ever happened to your E Class Sedan. If it was your car that was very well modded... did you part it out, sell it private party or trade it?

I think the only way to work the deal is to work it in person--- I rarely have the same luck over the phone...

I assume your dealer will get you the BS manuel (at some point in the future). It is curious that he does not have it. My car came with both manuels.

I got rid of it in Feb to get the wagon- sold it as is with all the goodies.
Id appreciate that. In my other AMG's a simple push of the AMG button programmed S+ and the suspension. This one takes some time to open up and then change. Its easier to twist the dial to S+ and press ESP sport.

Welcome back to M156 FTW!!! Now there's less seat maintenance headache since you now have MB Tex. Plus they are lighter.By the way, I know you don't want to go into it--but I would have chosen to sacrifice the IS-F.

I'll be there, but I will most likely be driving my Elise as I don't think I'll have time to wash the C63 before the show. My car needs a good wash after the rain today!

Rage!!!!!!!!! You rule thanks so much for the pics. So if I hold down the AMG button for 3 seconds after the car is started Ill get my stored settings: ESP Sport and S+ ???
I currently have to twist the dial and push the ESP button to get there.
Sorry for all of this but I dont have a bloody manual
I also realized we dont have the cool LED daytime runners- our daytime lights are actually the headlights on?

I thought the DRL's are those C shaped LED lights in the headlight cluster? I wouldn't know, I haven't brought my car in to activate them yet. MB forgot to turn on DRL's for all the Canadian cars, which are mandatory haha.

Oh weird, stateside we can turn on the "daylights" via the MFD so I was assuming it was the C shaped LED's too until I actually checked and saw the headlights on without the side parking lamps lit.

You can turn off DRL and flick the light switch to the left most position which turns on those LED C lights. That's what I've been using for DRLs until MB fixes the problem.

Vic,
Spent some time behind the seat of one and i'm sure you'll be pleased with it.
More feedback coming after we finish the tune, HRE's etc...

p.s. AMG Media is pretty awesome
