Things that you never got for your '63
So just a simple discussion to break away from [else].
Is there anything that you guys ever wanted for the c63 but they didn't make?
I know one thing that everyone wanted but never got was non carbon fiber aftermarket diffusers and lips. The few that were out were rather 'lack luster.'
What else?

Pretty sure the 2008 c300's had a few manual models.

Well, I get that we would all like a manual trans, but your statement is just 100% wrong. Paddle shift times are much faster and more consistent than you could ever possibly do as a human on a manual trans. It's about twice as fast if not more. Period. There's no argument about it because it's a fact.

Lol, in my old cobra, i could shift without lifting the throttle off the floor and the rpm wouldn't move 200 rpm
So to your point, during the actual shifting, no I am not faster but I am including the total time from actual activating the paddle to the time the car actually goes into the next gear. That I am faster at in a manual car.

A proper Dual Clutch Trans would be epic in this car.

Lolol @ some of the comments!
Now, here is where I show my lack of knowledge BUT:
Could you not potentially buy a c300 with a manual trans and just swap the trans? Pricey put could be well worth it; or would this not work due to the engine?
:S
Also I've heard of AMG's getting like 26, it's probably possible....
My highway mpg is rated at 26mpg and if I'm not going 100 I can get nearly 30. :S
Prius maxing out on track MPG < BMW M3 following it MPG
Idk if you guys ever watched that Top Gear Episode.
//side note Grand Tour is awesome

And I'd be willing to bet that an M156 would just shred a manual designed for a non-AMG engine.

I came from a 2009 C300 w/ a 6 speed manual. That transmission was fantastic. One of the easiest clutches I've ever used as well.
I doubt it would mount up to the M156 engine though. Even if it did I don't think it would hold up for very long. Those C300s push about ~228hp stock. Big difference compared to a C63

That's what I was thinking but I figured I might as well put that out there lol.
And yes I read someone get 26 on a post but it was a while ago, not gonna go digging for it since its not a big deal.
