Someone here knows the exact numbers but Im guessing the US was supposed to get 80????
Last I was told is 104, but that may have been North America, not US only.

It's funny, though, did a Netstar run a while back and we had 26 C63BSC's coming to the US (as you noted), and at the same time there were 100 SLSC's.

I think, this time, I'm going to do the hard break-in. As a habit, I always changed my oil immediately after break-in, anyway, and with a hard break-in it becomes more important to do that.

2013 C63 Black Series
I wish I could get a final officialy count of how many C63 Black Series for 2013 in U.S. Not total of the two year run, etc., but specifically 2013. I realize that they are essentially an overrun, etc...but my window sticker says 2013, its a 2013 VIN, and they charged me a little more, so I would like to know my "rarity" benefit in terms of last year, etc. Anyone have a MBUSA contact that could confirm?

I believe the final count for those was around 25. I'd post this in the AMG PL if you want a legitimate answer.

Exactly 26 2013 US spec models. I'm 100% certain of this as I have a Netstar screenshot proving it. And I've confirmed it as recently as this past weekend. I won't be posting that screenshot here, as I'm sure it's a violation of something somewhere to do so, and I happen to like my good relationship with MBUSA.

Considering the source, this is a legitimate answer.

I get my oil changed at the diff service. Perfect timing to get it done after hard break-in.
