Mercedes Sls c63 amg
I've ordered a 507 a couple of days ago. In the UK the car is £10000 more than the base c63. No limited slip-diff or carbon fibre here as standard. All optional extras. We do get the AMG driving school for free with the car. My car specced up came to about £72000

I really like the wheels and aggressive hood on the 507.

I've been thinking of getting the LSD, but I don't think I'll be tracking this car that often as I'm my uncle's cars' personal trainer, and I do give them good exercise, especially when he's overseas. Please do share as I'm still 50/50 on the LSD.

Now watch me crash my brother's E63 (no LSD) next time I drive it. I've been fine all this time, but just watch...

I'm now 51% in-favor of getting the LSD, need to read more about AMG's LSD.

Anyone knows the specs?

Without the diff almost anything will be quicker than you off the mark. You will simply sit there as the electronics work out what is best. If you put your foot down at anything under 80 kms you will start to go sideways. today i traded in my 17 months old 2012 C63 in on a Porsche 991 S because i simply made a mistake when i bought it by not having the diff. Remember it only has 255 tyres and that is really skinny for the HP you have under the hood.
Dont think about it, just do it! (my apologies to Nike)

These seem to be a change of mind from your comment here:

This was from the thread: https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w...-lsd-must.html

What changed your mind?

Thanks to everyone for their input, just drove a C63 w/LSD and another w/o back to back.

Long story short, I ordered the car With the LSD.

I will post the specs of the AMG LSD later on for those who are interested.

FYI Kleemann has one for half the price.

You made the right decision. Considering the total cost of the car, it's a fairly nominal cost, but IMHO, in view of the performance nature of the car, entirely appropriate.
Cheers, Pickles.

507 mercedes c63
Im in desperate help. So I'm supposed to pick up my 507 from the dealership on Monday but it wasnt exactly what I ordered. I wanted all black for the inside but the salesman said it only came that white with black. I also ordered carbon fiber trim inside and got regular black trim and was told that thats all it came with. So my question is did anyone get one eith black and carbon fiber inside?

Can definitely confirm all black interior, mine has it. Carbon is an option in Canada, as one of the other members ordered that. Try other dealers in your area by phone and see what they tell you.

If you do not like the seat/layout interior that's one thing. But you saved yourself a ton of money by not getting/paying for the CF interior. The carbon fiber trim from the factory is almost $3000. You can easily get the whole trim done from Matt at oCarbon for less than half of that. I believe he quoted me from $800 to $1200 depending on how many pieces you wanted. I did not opt for the CF trim, glad I didn't. I'm gonna drive it for a couple of weeks then get the whole set done, and great work, for $1200. That's from $2850 if you had gotten it from the factory.

I have no affiliation with Matt, just a potential customer, but his work is really good. Clean and correct as can be. I'm sure that there are plenty of other companies that will do it, but he's the best option for me.

Also as an aside, if the 507 didn't come with what you wanted, try to renegotiate the price. Let the salesman know that it is not the car that you built and you are not completely satisfied. Just a thought.

507 mercedes c63
Thanks for your replies guys. I am going to try and negotiate the price most definitely. I ordered all black with black leather and I got received white with suade interior. As soon as I saw the inside my jaw dropped and I said wtf I waited over six months and its not even the car I wanted. He started explaining that it only comes like that for the 507 edition and then I found this site where I thought I saw someone with cf and all black so I decided to join and ask. Im seriously considering not even getting the damn car now that I found out it came in all black inside. I dont like the dynamica bc I dont want it getting stained from wet jeans or something from the rain or w.e so he made me get the preferred plan that was another couple of thousand which included the seat replacement wheel and tire package, DuPont care, extended seven yr 75k warranty and ,lojack. Im going to negotiate the price, if he doesnt budge I'll take my $85,000 to another dealership

Off topic - could someone share via PM their 507 VIN so I could get a few part numbers at my dealership?

Thanks in advance.
