I ended up taking delivery of the C63S E that I had ordered a long time ago. I know there are many who are not a fan of the car, but I am just posting for any of those who want to know more about it or have questions in the future. I respect the fact that the car does not appeal to everyone, so for those who dislike the car, I would hope we can keep the comments respectful.
I love the look of the car and in person, it definitely looks better. It does stand out from the C43 in person (which I was concerned about) due to the width, the rims, larger spoiler and the hood vent (huge fan of this). W206 is also a beautiful looking car, but I had hoped the C63 would have some visual differences, which Im happy to see reflects in person.
- Did a short drive with it yesterday. Still learning about all the modes and settings. Love the drive in sport plus. Coming from a 2019 C43 coupe, the drive does not feel any more stiff in sport plus. Comfort, actually may me slightly more comfortable.
- Interior quality is about the sam as the W205 C class, but I have to explore this some more as I may find some more cheap plastic in areas that I have not noticed yet.
- Trunk is small for sure, but again similar to my W205 C43 coupe.
- Interior Space: Thankful for the extra 2 doors and seats for practicality purposes.
Car is still in break in period, so I did not get to really push it. On highway did hit 140km/h accidentally quite easily. Top speed listed on the car is 330km/h.
Sound on idle start up in sport plus is deep, but revs at stand still no where near even the old C43. I have not heard much pops and bangs yet, but hoping to head more once I can really push the revs etc.
Overall, I am happy with the car thus far. Very early days though. A step up for me personally from my old W205 C43 coupe.
Thanks for everyones thoughts, experiences, opinions etc through the order and waiting period until delivery.

Congrats! Pops and bangs should be heard beginning with sport, I clearly here those in C43. I got same rear spoiler, very nice.
Take it on a track before it snows. Also, think of the snow tires.

Thank you. Maybe, I am still being to gentle on it to hear any pops and bands as it suggests I keep revs under 4K for now.
Awesome re Spoiler. From what I read, I thought C63 Aero pack was supposed to give a larger "duck tail" spoiler.
I had seen your car pics when you first got it as well. Gorgeous spec!
Got some snow tires bought already. Decided to stay with 20s this time and got a beautiful replica forged set of rims. Excited to see what they look like come Late Oct.

I got C63 spoiler, 43 is pretty lame. I am using AMG oem 18' for winter,
Take it somewhere north where there are plenty of empty roads, take a drive to Hudson bay or something.

Beautiful! I love the tech and multiple personalities of this car.
I am looking for a snow setup - what did you go with?
I ended up going with PIRELLI P Zero Winter 265/35/20 front and 275/35/20 rear ( stock setup) with these rims in the pic below. The rims just got delivered last week.
Nice looking car for sure! First one I’ve seen in Canada. Would you mind sharing the base price? The Canadian builder is not yet available, I’m curious.
I know the car isn’t for everyone, but I do hope you enjoy it and it’s good to you. You do have a perfect spec that I would like, but I’m allergic to anything that isn’t a v8… ;-)
Thinking the same snow tires. Not sure on the rims yet - yours look pretty sweet. Here's the summers:
Looks awesome. You havnt lowered the car ave you? I do love how low the car is stock tbh. Looks great!
If you need the place, I got the rims from let me know. Its a company in China ( well reviewed) and Im happy w the rims so far. Will post pics once mounted.

Thank you! Appreciate the kind words.
The base MSRP is $105K I believe. Mine was $124 after options.
I went with the 20 inch version. With the center caps.
Shipped to my place in about 45 days. No customs and duties had to be paid. Im honestly excited to get them on the winter tires and see what they look like on the car.
Hello I am new to this forum and am the proud owner of a 2024 C63S AMG.Mine is silver like yours only with black rims.
My question is how do you set up drag race mode? I have tried setting to S+ display set to track mode/drag race and skid control off.
The problem is I can never get anywhere to 4000 rpm no mater how hard I push the pedal down.Am I doing something wrong?
Car has 3300 miles on it.
Thank You
Gary

Are you taking about Race Start. If so just to be extra clear, break-in period is over?

Yes, as others mentioned above you need to be past break in period to initiate race start.
