Questions about C63 Blackseries
I am looking to buy a C63 black series as a daily driver. Found a nice one that looks like its matte grey with no wing (which I like)
Question is, are the matte paints reliable? I will be driving this car everyday, rain or shine. Also what options were available on these cars? What is the "track package?" Thanks

Not many around so I guess the one you found is at a dealer in New Jersey?
If yes that car is a base model with only option being the CF exterior.
The C63 BS has the aero package ( CF wing + CF canards + bigger CF front lip), track package (dunlop sportmaxx tires + rear differential cooling system), performance media, CF exterior package (CF mirror covers, CF spoiler, CF diffuser, CF rocker panels, CF front lip)
Matte paint can be a PITA to maintain particularly if you daily drive. So I would suggest you a clear bra (full if you have the budget). GL

I thought the "track package" just meant the rear wing?

Im not sure how the options worked in the States but here in Canada "Track Package" included the rear wing + Canards and removed the rear seats. Only a few cars came with B25 option which gave everything dunlop sportmaxx tires, rear differential cooling system, performance media, etc. without the wing, canards, rear seat delete.

In the US B25 is only the tires and diff cooling.
255 is the performance media
B26 is the aero package
773 is the CF exterior package
224 is for the rear seats config

matte paint is easy to take care of. Fixing matte paint however is not. the matte is only in the clear and is much more durable than regular paint. No waxing, just easy hand washing with soap.

Fwiw I've seen my fair share of matte painted cars and the majority of owners maintain them meticulously. When I ask how they do it they say "time lots of time" with a smile lol. One guy got specific and said he let the car soak with just water for an hour then lightly hand washed it with a very mild soap. Cool looking paint but not sure I could deal with the maintenence.
