That thing sounded insane! You gotta love how the owner keeps the backseats down just to basque in the insanity a little bit more. I need to try that.

Nice C63 and nice mods, the sound is great.
Anyone noticed that the owner wrote in the comments section that the engine hydro-locked after the video shot due to faulty injector... engine dead... sounds terrible!

I'm not sure but sad to hear, and I hope the owner pipes up on here and reveals plans to get it back up and running.

I have a 335i and they are known a bit more for leaking injectors, but most people catch it before it destroys the engine, usually you get some codes and misfires/rich errors etc as it starts to leak. Too bad it ended badly!

Not a fan of the glass-pack exhaust sounds.
Good to see the C63 get some press though.

I thought it was funny that the owner seemed to think that the car was babied since it was a demo car. Matt blind-sided him when he laughed and said, "you brave man".

Ya relentlessly thrashed for the first 4k (breaking it in) and then babied for the next 24k after the damage was done!

Seemed a little optomistic about its performance and hp too. 550 bhp and 3.6 0-60? Not that 0-60 is a good measure of anything other than grip off the line. And "track suspension" said about 37 times. Funny because other companies like porsche and even MB allow you to adjust actual track suspensions.
