C63s
Picking up new my15 c63s Tuesday!
Hey all. I am selling my f80 m3 and picking up a left over c63s for 7k+ off of sticker. I originally wanted a c63 last year but the lease rates were terrible and the f80 were awesome. It's a black with per exh and a few other goodies.
I am jumping out of the f80 for three reasons. 1. Engine noise. 2. It's very sketchy at the limits with all tc off and esp jb4 tuned and on a road course. 3. It feels very unemotional to drive; very robotic. Believe it or not my Nissan GT-R is boat loads more engaging.
This is my first MB car and my first c63. I didn't really see a FAQ section so I figured I'd start here first.
1. I would prob love to get a piggy back tune. Who do you guys recommend?
2. Is the Rear diff fluid supposed to be changed at 2k miles? What are you guys paying for that service?
3. Any tricks or hints about the car I should know of?

Congrats on the new car! I'm surprised you were not able to get a significantly larger discount on a leftover 2015 model, but as long as you are happy with your deal and enjoy the car that is what matters most! I also looked at the F80 M3 as I have owned four BMW M cars over the course of eight years and, like yourself, have never owned a MB before. I agree that the M3 sounds dull this generation, and IMHO the C class interior is much nicer than the 3-series interior. I'm excited to get mine; I ordered Dec 26 and it is scheduled to be built on April 7. Enjoy!
To answer your questions:
1. Seems it is still pretty early in terms of tuning mods. I believe Brabus has something along with Eurocharged.
2. Yes it is supposed to be changed I believe at 1800 miles.
3. Can't help you there since mine is still a few weeks out. But there are a few threads on this if you search the forum.

1. Yes, there is a new one every week. I'd go for a trusted brand. (You will need to look into new tyres and wheels current setup will not be the best for traction)
2. Yes, I did my rear diff and engine oil changed at 2000kms. (Engine oil is optional, but I did it anyway)
Enjoy the beast!
