About to join the club... 2013 C63 sedan incoming

Hey all, excited to be joining the C63 club very soon.

Circumstances are not the best as my beloved 2011 M3 sedan was written off on Monday, got into an accident last week Wednesday (not at fault) and the damage was obviously worse than it appeared. Since I need a sedan and the E90 M3 is out of production figured the time was right to finally get to sample the monster that is the C63. A quick test drive earlier this week sealed the deal and I finalized the order this evening... car is local so I should have it early next week. Specs are below.

2013 C63 AMG Sedan
Magnetite Black metallic
designo Porcelain/Black Two-Tone Leather
19" AMG Multi-Spoke Wheels
AMG Performance Package Plus
Premium Package

Got a fantastic deal too so it is working out very well financially... not to mention I got full/new value of my M3 via insurance so no complaints. I'm sure I'll have a bunch of questions, look forward to joining the discussion here. Will be sure to post pics asap too.

On to the mods...

Any accident is traumatic, and certainly not good news, so I'm glad you're Ok, & "moving on".
However, in the end, what has happened could turn out to be good news for you, because you are about to enter the "world", that is C63.
I will let you be the judge.......and I await your further comments....when you take possession of the beast.
Cheers, Pickles.

Thanks all! Pics are forthcoming once I get the car...

If anyone in the GTA has a set of OEM 18" wheels for sale let me know, want to pickup a set to run in the winter. Also looking at some 19" rim options for summer but that might wait until next year. I ordered a set of smoked side markers last night and looking into other mod options as I can't help myself.

Yeah, I wasn't sure about the colour looking at pics online but I saw it on an SL550 at my dealer and it looks amazing. Tons of metallic flake with some interesting colours that jump out under different lighting.

Magnetite is a beautiful color. I was torn between Magnetite and Diamond White.

Congrats and welcome to the club!

Couple quick pics shortly after picking her up... haven't gotten to really open it up yet as I'm still in the break-in period obviously. Had a nice drive around the city though and enjoying myself so far. Tint this weekend and my smoked reflectors should be on the way as well.
