My estimated production date is 4/23. I hope to take delivery by early May.
Here are the mods that I have in the works already is process:
1)"V8 Bi Turbo", MB Trunk Star "///AMG" Trunk Badges are being painted gloss black.
2) "C63 S" will also be gloss black. However, the "S" I am doing something different. I will keep everyone on there toes for that.
3) The chrome piece on the trunk will be painted Iridium Silver. I am not a fan of chrome.
4) Gloss Black Front Grill...Coming Soon.
All of the work is being done by iND Distribution. I have used them for multiple projects and there work is amazing. Check out there website (www.ind-distribution.com). They are HUGE on Bimmerpost.

Your build thread is finally up!!
Youre lucky you had the 2009. Thats the N54. When i got my second one it was a n55.
You couldn't have chose anyone better to work on your car. IND is going to kill it.
I wonder who told you about mod number 3 lol (unless i didn't but i remember you telling me something different before. I didn't get excited when I posted my build thread but now that you have yours up. Its starting to hit me that our cars are going to be done soon Im so excited haha
I didn't want silver seat belts because it was going to cost money. My lady put it on accident. Its fine though because I really liked them.

Thank you for the compliment! The window trim was not done by iND. The main reason was shipping it to them was to costly. I had a local body shop do it for me. The window trim measured over 10 feet. It didn't make sense.

Mod #3 I currently have on the back of my CLS. That long chrome strip needs to toned down. iND already has all the parts; I hope to have everything back this week.

Today, my trainer brought the C63 S around for dealership training. The vehicle was in Lunar Blue with Black/Gray Interior. The vehicle had the 19" Black Cross Spokes with CCB. Here are my overall impressions from now in reference to my trip to Palm Springs:
1) The MCT has been updated with faster and snappier shifts. It's even more equal or damn near equal to a DCT. This car was still a pre-production C63 S. I did drive the car around the block.
2) The exhaust note does a lot of gurgling and back firing on down shifts. I had everyone looking as I was driving around. The videos do this exhaust system no justice.
3) The car has 3, yes 3, cooling systems. Below is a picture of the entire front end.
4) A spacer was added in the front end to make up for the additional 2 inches. (See Picture Below)
5) The camber on the front/rear is IMPRESSIVE! Wait to you see one up close. I didn't notice this back in December.

Nice pics JP! I'm also curious on why the car has Dunlop tires. Could have sworn that the cars were supposed to come with Michelin sport tires. Plus damn those black chrome exhaust tips look amazing!

Tires go by what is available at the time of production. It's the same on all of our cars. I have seen vehicles with Dunlop/Conti's/Michelins. It's the luck of the draw. I did see a 205 C63 with Dunlops.
