Not as good for business as a MB though. :)

As some have said, there are 3 addition settings to the INSIDE of the driver's seat, above the center console. There are seat settings on the door for positioning; there are seat settings towards the floorboard for lumbar positioning; AND there are seat settings on the seat at elbow level above the center console for bolstering.

Maybe you should play with all sets before counting it out?

Try sitting in the seats a bit...if it's a brand new car the leather will be extremely tight...it needs to be "broken" in kinda...I'm a smaller guy..5'11ish around 160 and the seats fit me good

This for sure. Although I liked the thigh support in my M3 the seats used to make my back ache on any long drives. The C63 seats are extremely supportive and lock me into place just right, no issues at all.

I never saw it this way but it looks like my dream car NOT only will satisfy me but also encourage me to live a more healthy and slim life style.....

I'm not doomed after all, there is hope!

I hear you man. I had the same problem. Only after several weight gainer diets and weight lifting I was able to put some meat over the bone. I'm 6' 2" and weight 194 now. However, I had to be on strict exercise program for 8 months. Now I feel like I can wear anything, and fit into everything. I feel better, and don't look like a wimp guy anymore.

It's hard to gain weight too...

Yeah the CLK BS seats are very similar to the sedan. But they look a little bit wider.

i assume this is on your 2014 and not on your previous C63, cuz i dont have these particular buttons on mine.

also, i love the seats, but i cant stand that my elbows hit the bolsters when i turn the steering wheel. i cant keep my hands in position when making most turns, i have to shimmy them around.

You know, I might "sit" corrected(get it, not stand corrected). Anyway, you might be right. I could be thinking of the last E class that I had. My car is at the shop or I'd go out and check. Anyone with a 507 confirm/deny?

I remember when the C63 first launched one of our customers was willing to pay the 50k markup on it but only if we switched the seats out because he didn't fit in them. I am surprised they don't have different seat options for the vehicle.

My friend always fought to get shotgun in my previous car which was a coupe and they didnt want to crawl into the back. And now the same person is not fighting anymore as hes a little chunky and hates sitting in the "child" seat as he calls it

I know exactly what you are talking about as this was the only thing I didn't like about the car -- they cut into my lats.

I am 5'10" and was 210 when I bought the car.
It took a few weeks and the seats broke in and I loved them.

I am 170 now and the seats still fit the same as they did before.
So buy the car.
And don't worry about losing weight until you own the car for at least 1 month.
