My vote is for the black lug bolts. Very nice look!

Makes the car look more subtle.

Sweet man

JP, will you stick with changing the oil every 10000 miles as the book states or more frequently.
I found this report this morning. Quote; The company said some regular BMW motors can consume up to a quart every 750 miles, and M series performance engines can use up to 2.5 quarts per 1,000 miles under certain conditions.

Straight cut/paste from the 2015 C-Class Owner's Manual:

JPMBenz

I will be changing the oil every 3,000 miles.

Love the rolling pictures can I see a shot of the exhaust did you powder coat the tips ? If so in what finish?

builthatch

change interval and oil consumption are separate things, but i think you know that. it's def not uncommon to have to add some oil in these cars, AMG or not; my '09 C 63 has like 9,500 miles on it now; since i don't drive it very much i change it annually independent of mileage...but it still manages to eat a little bit of oil over the 3k or so miles i drive per year.

curious to see what the used oil analyses will look like for these 4 liter DI turbo engines as people start to put miles on them and get onto the second/third changes. 10k mile intervals will probably still be overkill. imo Merc wouldn't recommend 10k if it weren't on the safe side of things. so many of their service recommendations seem like overkill but i guess at the minimum offer peace of mind.

With the NSP you get black chrome exhaust tips. With the ED1 NSP they are regular chrome.

Those are some sexy rollers my friend

Agree with the others are saying JP. Especially the first two color motion shots. Simply awesome!

I just ordered a 16 C63S to be delivered about 1st of Sept. Black with the pepper red performance seats. Twin spoke/exhaust/HUD/etc.
I see you are going to change oil at 3k intervals and MB says about 10k
I am good with that and the rear diff change at 2k but what about the first change on the transmission? I'm thinking early on the first one but when?
What is everyone's feed back on that?

Thanks does anyone have the part# for that night package?.

I just noticed this and it may have been addressed in this thread already but.......the center cap you have on your wheels has the MB logo in the middle and then a silver/grey area where the lug bolts go. Mine is not like that, I have the same wheels but my MB logo is attached to a black insert that covers the lug bolts.......does that make sense? I wonder why they are different.

Houston,

JP changed out the stock part. He listed the part numbers earlier in this thread. In my opinion it is a much better look than stock.

Matt5678

Someone stole 1 center cap... I think I'm going to just order the set you bought JP.

JPMBenz

That or it fell off during high speed driving.

Is it easy to remove the factory black plastic lug cover and install part number B66470200 (black centers) ?


Thanks

JPMBenz

So easy that Ray Charles himself could do it!

NelsonRealTime

JP, would you advice against using a foam cannon and pressure washer to clean the car?

PeterUbers

I once pressure washed off a chunk of oem paint on my 2004 Acura ... Granted their paint process is not up to par with Benz but I never used a pressure washer again

Will617

Happened to me too. Front spoiler on my Mustang GT

JPMBenz

No. I personally use one every time I wash the car. I always use a foam bath prior to washing since that removes all of the dirt. You have to learn how to use one. You don't want to start blowing wheel weights off.

JP - just wanted to say, awesome thread, love your car and appreciate all the detail you've gone to and all the pics provided - right down to the cleaning products used for its first new car protection wash.

I'm an Audi man and always have been. I bought my wife an SLK recently for her birthday and after driving it a few times, I was amazed how much sheer driving pleasure I got from her little 1.8T SLK in comparison to my 510BHP Stage 2 Audi S4. Yes by numbers and stats my car kills hers, and yet I want to drive hers all the time...

Anyways I've now ordered a C63S with all the option packs and I get it in Sept. I liked your thread so much and the look of your car that I've gone the same route. My first new car ever, and my first Merc. I'm sure it will be a pleasurable relationship for some time

Thanks to all the peeps on the forum, the information, and sharing and general candid approach to discussions is awesome!
