Howdy folks! Few questions for you current and/or former C63 BS owners. What tires y'all run on your C63 BS? I've seen some cars with either painted reflectors on sides of front bumper or replacement covers - where can these be found/sourced? Lastly, anyone know where I can buy one of these original AMG BS car covers? Thanks for the help.
mine came with the Michelin Cup Sport 2 that the previous owner installed, they're just a bit wider than OEM spec (265 instead of 255 for the front, and 295 instead of 285 for the rear), not my preference but the tread are so new that i'd feel wasteful to replace them right away..
unlike the CLK63BS where Euro Spec has OEM painted covers, the Euro Spec of the C63BS simply do not have holes on the bumper where the reflectors sit on the US spec front bumper, so you'll just have to get them custom painted by your local body shop..
the oem car cover is discontinued, I was lucked out that the previous owner had one (different than pic, because aero pack); try getting the form-fitted covers from Covercraft, they have a template already for the C63BS, even for a non-aero like yours..
I have stock sized Michelin PSS's as the P4S didn't yet come in BS sizes originally, I think now you can go P4S if it is for street driving, if you are going to track it you might want the Cup Sport 2's like above. Covers you just have to keep and eye on ebay or here they pop up now and then.

anytime brother! feel free to DM in the future if there's anything else i can assist you about this car; and if you're facebook, do join us in the "AMG Black Series Owners" private group, great resources & information can be found there, with lots of pre-list opportunities from parts to whole-car, excellent global network amongst BS owners.
Have you checked the new PS5 which have come out recently? Don't know if they have the sizes though. Will have to check as my coupe will soon need new shoes. The fronts are still the OE fitted ones back from 12/11'
I searched the part # you provided and several sites appeared but not sure if they actually have them in stock - plus some of the sites seem sketchy lol, especially the sites that look identical to one another but just a different URL and no contact info or phone #. I'll check out the site you mentioned.

I totally agree and understand lol. They are usually just proxy sites that dealers or 3rd parties use to order through a dealership in that state (I've ordered from a couple different sites and that's what I've noticed).

Like this site... their phone # not even for real. It'd be less sketchy if they just didn't list any phone # at all.
These have been out of stock for many many years no dealer or parts site that shows stock has them many of us tried years ago, part is NLA with Mercedes’ meaning can’t be back ordered and will never be manufactured again so you just have to keep an eye out for them used.
Good to know as I was going to place an order. Several MB parts sites showed that item being "in stock" and available. Seems like it'd be easier to update their site to reflect actual inventory availability. Sheesh.

literally every black series specific part I have tried to order online that says in stock ends in a cancelled order a day later with a sorry no longer available.

Pilot Sport 4S does come in OEM size so will have to settle for those...
