OK, I just woke up, late for work now, so I might be wrong here... But, isn't that DOG mentioned above for the C Class only? Meaning the models they are referring to is the regular C Class lineup and not the C63 yet? In years past they have always produced a separate DOG for the AMG lineup... So, the specs you read in that dealer guide could/should have no bearing on what's to come for the C63 model.

c63 amg
It is 100% sure a bad photoshop and a bad joke.
Some of the pictures are taken with the wheel on the car.
some of the pictures with the wheel off the car with the brakes.
and one picture of the wheel only.
The lines between the pictures are uneven in thickness.
No way mercedes would let out a brochure that looks like it has been made by a 5 year old.
So definitely some made up useless information and pictures.
keep your deposits on the car.

Thank goodness. Needs wider rubber than current car. I also wish that MB would stop going cheap by only making the front wider. If BMW can flare the front and rears (even audi on the v low volume RS5 I think?), there is no reason why AMG can't too. Then there will be room for the optimal wheel and tire set-up. And the car would look so much meaner!

Thanks! I loved it! I had modded with Dinan CF CIA, Dinan CF strut bars, ESS Full exhaust, BPM Servo/DCT/ Stage II engine tune and a lot of other things. At that point in my life, it wasn't meant to be.

I had a couple of Stage 2 Dinan-tuned E90s. I absolutely hated hearing the following from the piggyback-tuned crowd: "Dinan is overpriced blah blah blah." I didn't get it. What I do with my money is my business. It's like they needed to publicly justify their choice to buy a cheaper tune. Dinan was polarizing in the E90 335i world but it seemed as if the M3 crowd was happy with Dinan.

Dishing out $2k for a tune, when options were available for $3-400 just played into that same mentality. I almost pulled the trigger on the cheaper piggyback, then decided not to.
After taking my e92 to a BMWCCA event and going into limp mode repeatedly, resulting the replacement of two turbos, HPFP, etc...glad I didn't. WTG BMW
...fail.

The fact that I keep my warranty is a HUGE plus! I was very close to buying the Dinan Pulley's too!

Spoke to someone in MB in the know. They drive it in July. 4 MATIC gets tires that are fairly close in width to the fronts, rear wheel versions will be wider. Not sure how that works. Do they flair the fenders more in the rear wheel version??
