New to C63 Family

Picked up this C63 yesterday and having a ball with it. My last car was a BMW 335i with a tune but this thing is a true beast. The sound...

Love having all this info available because I have the sickness to mod!



This is my other tool for speed!

Sick car. Congrats

Do you carbon fibre wheels on that 1198s?
When are you upgrading to the Panigale?

Yes, the wheels on the 1198 are Carbon Fiber BST's and were the most noticeable upgrade I did to the bike, excluding the full system. Getting rid of the rotational weight even over the stock forged was huge and I really love the way it turned out!

I test rode the Panigale and it is something else but this is my baby! The Pani doesn't quite have the torque of the 1198 down low and I do most of my riding on the streets and canyons, which is where that torque shines.

Congrats! Beautiful car.

I too just traded in a tuned 335i ('13 F30 M Sport 335i) for a '13 Iridium Silver C63 AMG Sedan.

Congratz! nice car.

Can you post some more shots of the 507 silver wheels. I've got the black ones and have not had a good look at the silver ones.

Sick car. Those are growing on me. I like them in silver more than in black.
All you are missing are CF mirrors

Beautiful.

Those silver wheels look great!

Out of curiosity, did the locking wheel nuts come fitted, or did you have to ask for them? Mine was delivered without, but dealer was happy to fit them at my request. Seems like they should be standard to me.

Those wheels are beautiful. Pretty much no need for aftermarket wheels.

Just curious, is the side stripe painted on or is it like vinyl glued on?

Looks awesome! This may seem like an odd question, but does the Black Leather/Dinamica seating option come with a power-adjustable passenger seat on the 507?

Yes, they came already fitted. I didn't have to request anything.

I love the rims and will not be changing them. The stripes on the bottom are an overlay, like a sticker. They seem very well installed and don't seem like there will be any problems with coming off.

Yes, both the driver and passenger seats are power-adjustable with memory settings. They are very comfortable to me and I'm 6'4".

The beauty of those is they are easily removable.

I have a non-507 C63 coupe on order. After seeing your post, I'm going to see if its not too late to change it to a 507!
