Trim105

My dealership called me today, good news is I finally have a solid delivery date! Bad news is the car is still at the factory and will be delivered on the 25th

Was really hoping it was on that ship with yours, oh well, I've waited this long, 16 more days shouldn't be too bad.

Bad news Trim105 will be the longest 16 days I bet till you pick it up
Good luck I hope they keep to there promise of the 25th

I still wouldn't bet the cars won't be on the same boat in any case Trim. I've not heard anything more since it arrived at Bremerhaven (for Zeebrugge). Even if it does arrive in the next week or so it would be foolish of me not to wait to get a 66 plate. Either way it isn't THAT long a wait for either of us relatively speaking

Just a thought. If you have off street parking or better still a garage, which I'm sure you do You could have the car delivered. No different from 66 plates siting on the forecourt waiting for September 1.

DragonRR

I didn't actually know that. Interesting.

A friend of my daughter had her car delivered before the new reg.
Her dad is a VW car sales manager.

Looks superb!

I do agree that it needs a little bit more noise however I don't agree that downshifts are slow - they are plenty fast - as fast as a DCT transmission.

DragonRR

Great review.

My dealer has just confirmed that my car is HUDless... Well at least I can stop thinking about that now.

@Uga I asked about taking delivery before the 1st and the dealer said they can't do it. Has to be registered before it leaves them apparently.

Uga Uga

Ah well. I had visions of giving it a cold start every morning in the garage

I figured some of you might like this...

DragonRR

Yup.

But alas... no.

@thwb. That is a look I would never have expected to like. (Well it is too slammed for me anyway) However it does look kind of different

Sometimes we don't know what we want until it's shown to us.

Is it just me or are we expericing a deluge of English car reviews? Must have that accent to be interesting lol.

Hi Guys,
Just had confirmation today that my C63S Edition 1 is due to arrive at the dealer on 26th August. The date was 28th August but has been brought forward 2 days. Getting impatient now!
Was due to be here Mid-July, then delayed to early August, then delayed again due to "Panaramic Roof issues".
Am going to wait till 1st Sept now and have booked to collect at 4:30pm :-)

Don't know how some of you guys have waited so long!! I ordered in May (it was a stock order they had coming in and was literally the spec/colour I was after so have not had to wait as long :-)

CJAMG

Im on Tijuca too

michael640D

Nice Simonhouse hope it turns up ok what colour did you spec, hope you will post some photos when you finally collect your beast. I have to wait till early October to pick my Edition 1 in polar white up only ordered mine in July but seems along time off

Simonhouse

It is in magno selenite grey with the dark graphite grey stripes, extras to edition 1 were HUD and 360 camera.
Just getting very impatient now but I know after driving the C63 coupe demonstrater it's going to be worth it
Must admit the car sold itself about 3 seconds after pressing the start button!

michael640D

Know what you mean when I pressed the start button and that lovely V8 burble emitted from the exchaust I was sold too. I went for same options as I have those on my 6 Series at the moment and would not be with out them now on any car. Would have been a deal breaker if it did not have them.
When for decals removed as they looked over the top on the white car looks a lot nicer with out. The gray strip on mango selenite grey won't be in your face like the yellow would have been. Is the mango the Matt or satin finish ?

Simonhouse

I was debating whether to have the stripes removed - the dealer said they would remove them if I wanted to - I have decided to keep them because I don't think they will stand out that much being a dark grey on magno grey - I presume the Magno Selenite Grey is a matte and not a Satin - not too sure on that!!!

Regarding tracking the car when it is on the ship - is it the 2wglobal website that you guys use? Does anyone know what the departure and arrival port is for shipment to the UK?

DragonRR

Personally I like the side stripes at least and specced the silver car with them in mind (having seen and liked silver ED 1 saloons). I'm not totally sure about the roof/bonnet stripe but it is an OTT car so why not have an OTT stripe

I *think* the magno is more satin than matt. I would have gone for magno myself but I just don't like the extra hassle of keeping it clean and the problems with repairing minor(ish) scratches.

Interesting, this dealership had the standard wheels painted black, makes quite a difference imo.

RHRAUS

Much better too IMO. Looks like they might have punted the brake calipers too right?
Thought you could only have red or gold with the Ed.1?

Is that something you can get any dealer to organize of you wanted to?

Trim105

It's a base C63 so those are the standard brakes (grey calipers and slightly smaller size I think).

I believe so, there was a picture of a coupe in a dealership that had the front grille all blacked out, looked pretty mean.
