'13 C63 Sedan
New owner/member!

Hey guys! I guess I'm now a new member to the c63 club. I'm located near Los Angeles, CA

I've been lurking the forums for a while now before deciding on pulling the trigger on a 2013 c63 Sedan. Edition 507 was a little too expensive for me

But..... I did get a car (5000 miles used) with every option, minus carbon fiber trim: MSRP 82XXX, for 61.5K sticker! I was fairly happy about that.

Actually... not a 100% sure if my deal was really good or not lol.

I will be slowly modding the car as time passes. I shouldn't have much trouble with warranty because my family is actually very close friends with the owner of a certain Mercedes dealership! I've seen quite a few beautifully modded c63s on this forum... I really hope to make mine just as nice.

Nice to meet you guys!

Oh I'd be interested definitely. I was looking for a CF diffuser (aggressive with big fins) and a front lip for now... as well as interior parts. Do you have awesome interior CF goodies as well?

hahahah i'm well aware of this unfortunately...... I didn't add any kits to my old car, but I did a lot of wrapping work and some small exhaust work. (resonator/muffler/piping) :')

Edit::: is tuning worth it on a p31 c63???

Welcome!!

And yes, tuning IS worth it on a P31 car. The tune works well on all cars, regardless of how it's optioned. A tune essentially negates a delimiter and improves shift points and mapping. It will definitely help your cars performance.

Oh I didnt know that! I just read everywhere that a non p31 tuned is = to p31 non tuned. I didnt know people still tuned up p31 c63s... but then im assuming that the tuning for p31 cars wont yield too much of a gain in power ? maybe like 20 hp? hmm

Tuned p31's will yield A LOT more then 20HP at the crank. As far as HP to the wheels you will have to read some posts and see pics of different dyno #'s.

OE tunes shows these #'s blelow on the P31
The answer id like to know what kind of #'s are the tuners getting from the 2014 "507"

Make Mercedes Benz
Model C63 AMG 6.3 P31
Series W204
Engine M156
ECU ME9.7
Year 2011
Stock Peak HP 481
Tuned Peak HP 538
Stock Peak 443
Tuned Peak Torque 500
Modification Type OBD2 Flash


Congrats again on your new ride!!!

Hm... I read somewhere that the BS, p31 c63, and the 507 are all very very similar in terms of stock HP/Torque. Merc was just playing with numbers for marketing purposes or something..?

But yeah, the only thing I'm wondering is... will a tuned p31 c63 have more power than a tuned non p31 c63?? I'm not too familiar with tuning :/

same here

Too many things to do with the car... not enough $$$$$! thinking about wheels and exterior parts first before messing with the internal stuff. It's already a p31, so I don't have to worry TOO much about more power yet

You are right. Get the feeling of the car stock first then once you get bored with that power upgrade
