My new C63!

Hi guys,

Nice to finally be part of the AMG group! Just an introduction to my car. I recently traded in my 2013 BMW F30 335 for this car. I have to say I love the way this car drives except it could do with some more sound and as Jeremy Clarkson would like to say more "POWERRR".

I actually did a straight pipe set up on the same day I collected my car. (Resonator and secondary cat delete) However the car was very jerky at low rpms so I installed my cats back and it has been running much smoother now. However I do miss the sound of the straight pipe and I am considering an x-pipe and a tune to go along with it.

I know you guys have posted many threads on these mods. But I would like to hear some positive feedback on your cars and some MUST DO mods that I may consider. Cheers!

Congrats and welcome! I actually had an F30 335i M-Sport on order last year, got tired of waiting, and got me a C63 instead. Would love to hear your impressions relative to the F30!

Did you do a tune as well or just straight pipe? I think you should've done a tune as well to get rid of that low rpm jerk.

Get smoked sidemarkers from ebay. It's around $40. Do the tint as well.

then, it will look like this

The C63 feels much more planted and it definitely offers more "driving pleasure". The F30 335i M-Sport that I had was VERY comfortable but rides too soft for my spirited driving style. It lacks the WOW factor that the C63 has but still a good everyday car. I actually waited 2 months to order my C63 as opposed to 1 week for my F30 335. I'm glad you didn't make the same mistake as I did.

Yeah I should have done a tune earlier. I am looking at getting tune from oe tuning.

sexy.

you'll be in love with your car even more with a tune. if your budget allows a set of headers will push this car to around 125mph in the 1320

I personally LOVE the 5 spoke gunmetals on the black car (same setup i have). I think multispokes kinda make the wheel area look a bit "busy". Just my opinion since others have stated theirs . Anyway, sick vehicle man, get the tune.... its so worth it!
