The C63 S saloon costs £73,000, a rise of £5700 over its predecessor. The most expensive model in the new C63 range is the C63 S Cabriolet, which is priced from £79,000. First deliveries are scheduled for October.

Comparison

Price £75,000 est.Engine 4.0-litre V8 biturboPower 503bhpTorque516lb ftTop speed 180mph0-62mph 3.9secs

BMW M4 Clubsport:

Interesting… Does it mean they will bump the price for the US too

I think most of, if not all c63s models upgraded to the premium package in the UK. So perhaps they are including those options as standard.
9 speed plus digital dash and a few tweaks should not add up to £6k.

Another good C 63 S video from the NY auto show...


And he confirms the color is indeed “Graphite Gray Magno” (reads it off the key at 13:58) — somebody tell Tobias it’s not matte black.

I’ve seen this guy’s videos before... super detailed reviews in hi def, with some dry humor in a German accent - informative and entertaining. And sort of reminds me of Gabe from The Office.

From the press release/details above: The impressive driving dynamics are based, among other things, on the elaborately retuned AMG RIDE CONTROL
Does this mean they addressed the harsh ride? if so this is big news.
I also like they made the sport seats ventilated.

Perhaps not. Maybe an MB UK decision based on past orders for our market.
Price list for the UK is out on 23 April

Based on the discussed changes I am still overall excited about the updates and think there is a lot more that is good than is bad. In fact, the only thing I am less than thrilled about is the new front grille (which looks awkward with some colors). If there are issues with the 9 speed I am sure MB can get them sorted out in due course similar to the way that the 7 speed improved over time. As long as the hardware is solid then the rest can be addressed via software tuning.
