I just got a 2014 C63 507 last week on lease take over and love the car so far, though being that winter is starting here, I've only driven it a couple of times. Here are a couple of pics as it was shipped to Halifax.
Pretty cool car and it came with PSS tires on ADV1 SL rims, clear bra on entire front end, carbon fibre spoiler, diffuser and front spoiler plus Hakka 7 winters. The car also has the 2nd cat / resonator removed, I think it was the package from Mike on these forums????
Now onto the noise:
I have heard a weird noise after shutting the car off, about an hour later, it seems to happen every 30 seconds or so for upto 4 hours. It seems to be coming from the front near the rad and I can make the noise happen more frequently if I direct a fan on the front. I searched this forum and didn't find anything concrete relating to the C63 but seen some other models may have similar noise on the cool down (something to do with the coolant?). Listen to the attached vid, 4 seconds in. (Sorry couldn't embed it - link provided.
From day one after a drive I've heard a similar sound that goes on for a bit after parking.
Yours seemed louder but I've never popped the hood to hear it. It may be the cooling system depressurizing as it cools down.
Next time out I'll look to see if I can pinpoint it.
No, not drooling but in the garage with it or washing it down.
Yeah, quite strange? Do you sit and drool at the car for hours on end and thats how you caught it?
I really wouldn't worry much about it.
Side note -- Did the car come with the OEM 507 wheels? Or just the ADV?
Yeah I do drool actually TBH. Love the car and the power. I'm not worried really, from the noise and using the fan, I really do believe its related to the cool down.
Oh yeah the car also came with the OEM 19" Mat Black Wheels....

Mine may be louder because I took the camera right up to it....I suspect your right though on the cooling system depressurizing.... Seems appropriate.
I have never heard that sound in my '13 P31 package sedan. Maybe it is common only on the 507 for some reason? By the way, very nice 507! I looked for one in sedan form but was unable to find a new one. Also, I was under the impression that the 507 sedan was sold out for 2014 and only the coupe was available. Guess I was wrong.

This is a lease takeover, original lessee took delivery August 2013. I dropped into my local dealership and there was a 15 c63 507 coupe but the down payment/monthly payment was stupid compared to this one. Plus I got cash back, and all the little things that add up, especially the Nokian Hakka 7 winter tires and another set of rims, H&R Coilovers, carbon fibre, clear bra, etc....I figure about $10K+ in all of these add ons, plus all the original parts.

Sounds more like air or movement of air/liquid to me, but we may interpret the noise differently.
Consensus is that its a system added to the post 2008 models to dry down the AC evap system to reduce the chance off mold/musty smell in the cabin.
There are ALLOT of owners here and on Benzworld that hear it.
I actually seen all 3 of those threads but I didn't consider it a beeping noise, so thought I would post here in this forum with a link to the actual sound.
Since another 14 C63 507 members has the very similar sound, I figure it's normal.
Thanks for all the replies and comments guys...much appreciated.
