Honestly speaking, you can't go wrong with these ones too and especially for the first time ever you can option 20s from the factory for a C 43, as long as you don't live in pothole city these are some nice wheels to have : ). Congrats on your order!

just grabbing the best still from that video to show the 19's on the sedan.

I ordered the grey contrast 20's - still have not seen those at all - so hopefully that is not regretful

and more starling to hopefully reassure those of you lol

  • I really do not like the way the 20s look - personally I hate the aero rings and want to see more of the actual rotor/caliper through the wheel
  • There are no black/dark wheels available, and this I think will add some contrast to my darker color / "sinister" build.
I agree with you. 19inch will be more comfy and fuel efficient as well. Above all, I don't like the aero rings also. However I want to have red caliper though!

Any updates on your built?

Car and Driver listed the base price of the 2024 C63S at $85,000 for the Premium, $95,000 for the Exclusive. I wonder if these are based on anything official, or just their best guess?

Interesting @Zee$ - I'll check with my CA this week to see if my 11/9 scheduled production has slipped.

I will say in this current era with the scarcity of components, etc. it wouldn't surprise me to see a month + production slip due to one or two components not being available JIT on the assembly line.

Mine was originally set for 11/1 but got pushed back to 12/5 still with a 12/29-1/1 delivery date. Still listed all of my options tho.

Agreed Andy. I’m interested in knowing the common denominators for orders being pushed back (studio pckg, pinnacle trim ??) Guess we’ll know in the next couple months. Gotta admit I’m a little concerned whether my car will get the studio package or not. Not a deal breaker, but may consider deferring all together if I don’t make the cut.

I agree. If I'm paying $65-70k on a product I'd prefer not to have something that doesn't match my specifications but I am willing to bend a little bit.

I'm hoping an early unit arriving at my dealer soon (two weeks ago it was said to be on the boat over) will give me a change to really see & experience it in the flesh.

I'm also looking forward to seeing the MY23 G87 M2 unveiled this week as depending on if I can get an early unit I might opt for that.

Doesn't it take 30 days for cargo ship from SA to Baltimore?

That’s what I thought but who knows. I’m sure it’ll update with the correct delivery time. Luckily i’m in Baltimore and it doesn’t have far to go lol

What exactly is the studio package in USA ? I looked at other European Configurations and I couldn't visually see the huge difference ?

Adds front and rear flics, front and rear diffuser/splitter extension and a larger contrasted rear deck spoiler.

Some videos were referencing larger side sills but I don't think the side sills are different. The new w206 just has huge side sills even on the c300 sport

standard car rear end:



studio rear:



Seeing as studio may not be available at all for MY2024 - it could end up being an extremely desirable option.
