Dealer says I'm first on their list for 2017 and the car should hopefully be here by October at the latest.

Strongly considering ordering a C63 S in the next week or two. Test drove a C450 and a W204 C63 (dealer didn't have a W205 C63) to get an idea of what the car would feel like. Not ideal, but it was enough to put it at the top of the list. Both cars were absolutely amazing to drive!

I just sold my 07 BMW E90 335i (Loaded, sport package, manual, etc). Not considering another BMW cause that one left me stranded twice (on road trips of course) and had a few other issues. Despite the fact that I was the original owner, always babied the car, did all the maintenance at the dealer and never tracked it. In a nutshell the reliability was pretty poor for the "Ultimate Driving Machine"

Now I've looked through both the W204 and W205 C63 sections and have seen quite a few complaints about various things. Is the C63 gonna be a repeat of my BMW ownership experience? I don't mind paying for expensive maintenance and I am very meticulous about doing all the recommended maintenance. What I don't like is stupid things breaking all the time, like door lock actuators, windshield washer fluid tanks, squeaks and rattles for no reason, just to list a few. If I am maintaining the car as recommended, then it should just work like its supposed. Obviously some things will eventually need to be replaced due to age, but my BMW was just ridiculous.

I like to keep my cars for a while when I buy them. I have two Lexus LXs with 180k and 190K on each and only recently have I had to do some repairs that are not normal maintenance, but considering the mileage, what went wrong, and how I have driven them, I'm still utterly amazed at how well they are engineered/built. These rest has just been regular PM or wear and tear like tires/brakes/etc.

I would love to hear from some owners here their experiences with their current or previous C63.

Thanks!

The W205 and W204 are two total different cars. Same with C450 and C63 S. They're both great cars and with a simple tune they put out crazy power. I just leased a 15 335i in February and am already considering switching over to MB.

Unless it creates a ridiculously long delay, I will just wait for it to become available again. It sucks, but the whole reason I am ordering a car is to get it the way that I want it.
