Picked up a 2017 C63S

So the wife wanted to get her own AMG after riding in one the last two years at the Private Lounge Gathering at Laguna Seca. I have to make an appointment to have a clear bra put on and vinyl wrap a few pieces.

She told me about this car last week and when we got there they only had a white coupe with the night package. We asked our guy to double check to make sure that they didn't have a different color and someone parked it on the roof wayyyyyyy back in the corner 🤔 so she said we'll take it.

That looks fantastic Hammer!!! I love the silver accents and the five spoke wheels. Well done.

Have you figured out how to remove the stupid bumpets from the rear?

Either way congrats!!

ha, I hear you, command isn't intuitive in the slightest. The Burmeister sounds terrible at the stock equalizer too.

I like the contrast with the silver and the chrome exhaust tips.

That does look bad ***... I am a big fan of the chrome exhaust tips, but honestly the rest of the chrome looks pretty damn good. I could go either way on the complete blackout (but I think I would still keep the chrome exhaust tips). Either way, great choice.

I'd keep that trim the way it is. Keep it classy.

Looks fantastic Hammer. I'd probably leave the black/chrome look for awhile before doing any wrapping.

The Comand interface is close to hopeless. I have become slightly used to it using a combination of pressing the little nodule on the touch interface and swiping to change tracks and using the buttons on the centre console to select functions quickly. They should hire a company with UI experience (mine!) to re-work it all!

Yep! I purchased about $3K worth of audio equipment for my new C63s, and it's all still sitting in my kitchen. I'm in no hurry to get to it, because I always find myself turning the audio down so that I can listen to the exhaust.


Great purchase!
