Well guys after driving bmw's my whole life I've finally jumped into a Mercedes. The c63 really wasn't really even on my radar but I got an absolute steal on it and i just couldn't pass up a chance to own one of my favorite sedans.

Here's a couple pictures of my pervious builds:

My bagged 335i:




My 4.8is x5:



and here's the new c63:





I've already deleted the resonators, blacked out the front grill and rear emblems. I'll be doing a few more bits today and hopefully getting the roof and window trim wrapped as well.

The res delete sounds great but it's still not loud enough for me (my 335i was catless/straightpipped) so I'm going back to the exhaust shop tomorrow to have either an x-pipe or h-pipe put in place of the rear cats. Any help on this decision would be greatly appreciated. I've done some research and although the x-pipe will add some low end torque I think I'm leaning towards the h-pipe.

I'll keep this thread updated regularly, hoping these forums will be as hopefully and responsive as the e90post forums were

Welcome! Beautiful rides!

Woohoo! Another Bimmerpost member making his way to MBWorld!

Congrats on the W204 C63! Although you're probably used to torquey cars, I imagine the C63 to be a totally different animal.

Looking forward to seeing more updates. If you ever need assistance with the build, let us know and we'll gladly help out

def h pipe to retain the amg bark...x pipe smooths it out way too much...

that's what I went with, at the shop now getting it installed (working from their waiting area )

Adorable. The BMW looks really clean though, I like it . Welcome and congrats on the C63 too! I only have my 2nd cats removed and replaced with straights and it opened it up huge. If nothing else you could always just remove both res/2nd cats if the h pipe doesn't work out for ya . Look forward to seeing the future pics!

You went with an H-pipe? How do you like it?

Nice rides ... I came to AMG from an E39 M5, to an E60 M5, and then to a sunroof delete Imola Red 2000 M Coupe (which I still have, my garage queen).

It's decent, did the h pipe + res delete, still not loud enough for me though

I'm in tampa, let me know if you guys ever come up this way for a show in the future


New mods are as followed

plasti dipped the grill, fog housing and side badges
wrapped the door trim, rear trim and roof in gloss black
tinted out the oem side markers with spray tint (came out 10x's better than expected)
debaged the rear
added a cf spoiler from jbspeed






I'll be installing BC Racing coilovers, painting my stock 19's black, and adding spacers next month (tint very soon too, starting to get hot af in florida)

Need to figure out how to wrap the handles. I think I'm going to have to take them off the car.

More to come, roof spoiler, mirror caps, and front lip with be the next set of mods...hopefully in the next couple of months

Updates:

15% tint
matte black mirror covers
stockers were painted matte black
BC Racing Coils (custom linear springs + camber plates are being made by BC for me)







Need to pick up some spacers asap, also will be adding a few more cosmetic items shortly.

Hey bro this is Alen E90 from e90post. You don't have the E92 anymore? Loved all of those mods. Nevertheless the 63 is coming along nicely! Thanks for sharing the pics.

marcadelic

No I parted out and sold it to a friend around 6 months ago, it was time to move onto something else

glad to see some other fellow e90post guys on here!

how do you like the coils??? im interested in these!! hows the ride???? i have a coupe but youre the first running these coils if im not mistaken....

marcadelic

No complaints thus far, my reason for getting coils was more of a cosmetic purchase than to increase handling/ride comfort though so some may have a different view then I do.

If you're looking for a solid set of coils that aren't going to break the bank while allowing you to go relatively low with a slight increase in trackability I don't think you'll find a better alternative on the market.

I've had BC coils on my 335i and x5 and my only complaint was I couldn't slam the 335i like I was looking to with their first gen coils. But the super low version took care of that.

IBowlC63AMG

Thanks kind of the review i was hoping for!! i dont track my car really...but def want to drop it...i am a real aggressive driver so the increased trackability is a nice touch... comfort is cool too as long as its not super stiff or bouncy a happy medium would suffice...im going to look them up... which set did you go with??

marcadelic

The super low kit, I'm pretty sure it's currently the only one they make for our cars. If you want camber plates and upgraded springs I'd hold off for a month or two until they are done with the prototypes on my car.

IBowlC63AMG

ok im subbed.. so ill wait for updates from you so i can see how everything turns out and how you like them ...Thanks!!!

kjkidd21

Been following your build thread and like your taste in appearance modifications. The car is coming along very nicely. Any power mods in your future (intake, headers, sc, tune, etc.)?

marcadelic

Once I dial the suspension in and get a few more cosmetic pieces (diffusor/side vents, blackout headlight housing) I'm going to turn my attention to power mods. Row airboxes + mhp or eurocharged tune, possibly headers down the road as well.

Congrats on the new car. It's starting to look really good already.

Nice car, I like the storm trooper look. Looks like these pics were taken close to Channelside. I'm in Brandon area that why I recognized the location.

marcadelic

Thanks man! yes those first pics are in channel side, I live over there

quaalude

Cool man, we should get together local Mercedes/AMG's in the Tampa area sometime. I also go to Bradenton Motorsports park quite a bit (cooler months) if you like drag racing.

Let me know how the blackout of the headlights goes. I was thinking of doing the same
