CLK63 Black
Just replaced my CLK63 BS with a C63 BS

What a difference! I got rid of my CLK BS a few months back cause it just wasn't practical enough. The technology was showing its age, the transmission shifts were painfully slow, and I needed a rear seat. I had never seen a C63 BS in person until last Saturday and lets just say it was love at first site! What a machine! I'll try to add some better pics later but here's a couple from my phone.

Would be interested to hear your comparison and pros vs cons when you have a chance.

C63 AMG Black Series
That looks fantastic! I had to switch over from mobile to full site to see the pics. I picked mine up about five
months ago. Couldn't find one for sale at all with the aerodynamics package at that time. I'm jealous. Mind sharing the details regarding it? How many miles? Only aerodynamics package? Or any of the others like track package, carbon performance media, etc.

I'm currently in Croatia on holiday and I ran into the Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond in Zadar. They were filming for the new season of The Grand Tour. I grabbed a couple pics and had a quick chat about with him about his C63 BS review lol. Certainly not what I was expecting before I left the states.

Probably the biggest negative for me in the CLK was the transmission. I'm sure when the car first came out it didn't seem like a big deal, but once you've driven a more modern car with a quick transmission you realize how slow it is. No throttle blip either. You can get the throttle blip now for a couple thousand, but I wanted to keep the car bone stock and spending a couple grand just seemed like a really dumb way to spend my money. The new car, while not as fast as alot of other cars out now is much better.
The CLK was extremely long in the tooth as far as media tech. No bluetooth phone,(I added bluetooth for music but to get the phone to work would of cost another $1500.)
I needed a rear seat. I still have a 14 year old, and on occasion I need the extra seats.
The C63 is roomier and it is much easier to get in and out. I'm 6'1". and while I'm a pretty agile guy it was kind of a pain to get in and out of the CLK without smashing the side bolsters.
My CLK had no warranty and little things started to go wrong. Nothing big but every check engine light my be another $2,000 bill. My new car has 20,000 miles, and I purchased a 3 year 36,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty for $2500.
