C63 Coupe - Due Mar 17 - which colour?

Hi all

I'm new to the forum and just ordered my first Mercedes! Previously had BMW's but wanted a change!

I've ordered the following:

C63 Coupe
Selenite Grey
Premium Pack
5 Spoke design wheel in Titanium Silver
Black leather
Driver assistant package
360 camera
HUD
Night pack

Question is.. is Selenite Grey the right choice with this spec??

Not seen many pics with this combo?

Thanks for the help

Mark

Sorry, already ordered mine in Selenite. You'll have to pick another color.

There's a Selenite pictures thread around here somewhere. Lot's of tasty photos.

march seems too long to wait IMO. My dealer for instance has two in stock right now, not exactly that spec, but I think you can find a car that's close enough to your spec without waiting 5 months....this is coming from someone that waited 6

Thanks for the reply. I currently have a company car which goes back in March, so March is planned between me and the dealership.

I went in 3 weeks ago and ordered a car for European delivery. I was just told that "maybe" we can get February build. So, I don't think ordered cars are moving very quickly now. I haven't decided if I'm going to wait that long. Thats a February delivery in Germany and then another 8 weeks or so for the car to arrive in California. I'm annoyed but trying to be patient. My Audi S4 is in perfect condition and still under warranty so I don't have car problems. I'm leaning toward waiting for the C63. We'll see.

Why am I beginning to think that MB may be restricting supply
in order to retain strong future value.

Or perhaps they never anticipated and planned for the demand that normally follows
a successful product.

I think they've over promised customers... it also happened when the A45 was first released.

Perhaps. If there is a silver lining, I hope that when February comes, the issues with backup cameras and folding mirrors will be resolved. For me, a build that did not include standard and/or ordered equipment would be a deal breaker. I would not take delivery.

Pics of the Selenite Grey look great. Most people seem to go for the black wheels though..

So I still have just under 3 months until my c63 Coupe arrives and I can't wait.

Still haven't seen any specs with Selenite Grey and Silver / Titanium wheels.

I'm sure I won't be disappointed when I see it and hear it for the first time!
