2012 C63 AMG coupe conversion to black series
Here is an update on the build.. I was out of town for a while and the shop was waiting for some parts to finish. If all goes well, the car will be ready by the end of the week ..... At the moment they are installing the Kw V3 suspensions and some other parts (catch can, new thermostat..). They also are finishing the inside of the car with a new steering wheel and some new carbon part.....

Not to be picky but for a bs conversion I would have expected the mechanical side to be changed as well (i.e. engine, electronics, rear end) otherwise it is just a poser. Is a track package being installed as well? Relatively speaking, installing body parts is the easy part.

I dont think the idea here is to "pose" as a BS, the idea is, hey, the BS body is without a doubt the best looking "body kit" available for a C63. For what its worth, from my perspective, the wheels too. The look of the BS is essentially the perfect "modified" C63. OP wanted it, couldnt get a BS, so said heck with it, I'll just make mine look as hot and mod it from a performance perspective while I'm at it.
Good for him!

Wow, new ones still hanging around? Wonder if they are getting aggressive.
Just to clarify, I could be mixing him up with someone else, but I recall someone posting about wanting a BS but not being able to get one, so they finagled a deal with the dealer to get all the body parts at a substantial discount. Thinking this is that guy (where I got the "wanted a BS" from) but maybe wrong, wouldnt be the first time!
