I recall reading posts recently that folks were on the hunt for a C63 BS, here ya go. Somebody buy this badboy! On another thought, since these are so rare maybe I ought to own two... hmmmmm!

What is the option code for a BS, if any?
I'm not able to find it once running the win.

With all rebuilds and styling pacakges it would be nice to be able to have it confirmed 😊

P98 Special Model "AMG Black Series" is what will be listed on the datacard

Someone didn't drive it much, sold on BAT 2 years ago also https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...nz-c63-amg-10/
Car looks pretty nice, very light on options it basically has illuminated door sills as the only option on the car https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...nz-c63-amg-10/

Wasn't the rear seats also an option?

Illuminated door sills was an option? I don't think my sills light up, I'll have to go check lol.

Poor thing has barely been driven, but I get it as I have multiple cars and only put few hundred miles per year on some of them.

actually, rear seat config (code 224) was standard offering, rear seat delete was optional. here's the options list.

Here is the US order guide if anyone needs it.

Looks like it brought $74K.

Yeh, two and a half years ago. Current auction is still live for 4 more days and its already surpassed the amount it sold for back in 2020.

i wouldn't be surprised if it exceeded over USD $100K with this round of auction, possibly into the $110K~$120K zone after BaT fees; with the gas prices dropping, demands from a recent plateau is catching momentum again.

a CLK63BS just sold for over $130k after BaT fees last week with slightly less miles than this C63BS.

Surprisingly few options. Otherwise looks nice.

$107,500 + $5,000 in BaT fees = $112,500 out the door.

I thought it would've hammered bit higher. A lot of commentary about it being light on options but for a car so special and so rare, options or not it'll be collectible classic. You bought yours at the right time! There are two more white ones for sale: one with aero pack on auction this week in Monterey and another one (2013 non aero pack) with 17k miles just got listed this week on the MB market.

called it!

by the way Mitch, the guy selling those C63BS wheels on facebook has replied his own post saying that he did not receive a message from you, but i think your DM to him probably ended up in his filter folder, and he's not going to see it unless he checks in there or if you added him as a friend on FB; if you replied his post, it looks like he'll get back to you from there.

agreed, no carbon/aero/etc plays a small part, maybe $10k~$15k off from its potential target price; the biggest deal breaker IMO is the removal of secondary cats (resonators?), and it looks like a clean cut rather than bolt-on OEM section that can be simply bolted back on; i went through the trouble of returning the entire exhaust system back to stock (and in new condition), just the rear sections (left & right) are retailed around $7k after tax, the parts are backordered for months and had to be shipped from Germany. Sure there are cheaper way to get around it, but to do it once and do it right, it can certainly be very costly; overall from headers to the rear sections, all brand-new, I've spent over $10k including labor, and this is with a decent discount on the parts alone.

totally agree! dang the prices on BS parts is for real - getting into ferrari pricing territory. lol

another likely drawback was the number of prior owners. the two other cars that fetched $150k+ on BaT I believe were both 1-owner examples.
