Its been fun guys...

well after about 14 months with the c63 and about 8k miles, i have moved on.

Sakhir Orange m5.


Some thoughts, i love the c63 size, and together with the 6.2 it's the perfect blend. I think i'd like to someday own it again, but in BS form.

The m5 is rather large, but the it's speed is deceptive. The orange turns heads everywhere (i was originally suppose to have a laguna seca blue m5) but that's a story for another day..

my 2013 c63 is for sale, i tried to move it on ebay twice, and got flakers. Next month is will be at Palm Beach Manheim exotic auction sale. If anyone is interested, shoot me a text nine five four two three five three one seven seven


thank you all for all your input on everything!

Nice dude. I guess you can't go wrong with an F10, nonetheless in Sahkir.

Happy motoring!

Awesome M5! Those things can get insanely quick with a tune, I guess like most new turbo motors haha.

Any chance you would sell your OEM headlights to me before auctioning? I could ship you my OEM halogens first as a core charge.

thanks guys!

Insig, the m6 deals currently suck. couldn't find one for my budget, so poor me, had to settle for an M5. LOL GTR was a bit of the same, plus it only has two seats.. which kinda killed it for me.

tune and downpipes soon!!



beets, sorry man, not willing to do that. loll

F10 M5 is a perfect car.

Would gladly trade my C63 for it if I could.

GTR has 4 seats, just because they are for children doesnt make them bad!! hhaha

Congrats on the M5. There is a no nonsense fast one in flat gold around here that destroys anything that runs against it outside of heavily modified RS7 out here.
