Chris Harris has a C63 as a daily driver

Chris Harris (of Top Gear fame) drives a black C63 (non S) as a daily driver. That's a pretty good endorsement!

Nice

He also has a signal green F80 M3. I wonder if he still has it.

The best or nothing
Interesting! We can look forward to C63 mentions in other car reviews.

On a day to day basis there is no noticeable difference between the two.
Both excellent cars.

Not trying to take anything away from this, as these cars don't really need anyone's endorsement because they're fantastic and everyone knows it, but I'm pretty sure these cars are given to him.

I know a few years back he was driving a CLS63 estate as a daily and he mentioned that he was given it for a year. Not sure by whom or the specific purposes behind it (other than the obvious marketing/advertising).

Entirely possible, but then that begs the question even MORE, why didn't they give him an S-model...

2018 C63s Estate, 2017 gla 45 [Sold] 2017 smart 44 brabus sport [for the Mrs]
Good man, Mr Harris. He's got the gbp2k black rims, i balked at the cost of those things. I went for the standard ones on my build. I had similar ones on my gla 45, it's all good apart from when you scrape them on the curb a few times...and then think...damn... that potentially cost me >£500 to replace lol. Anyhow, he has great taste! chances are he has probably dumped it for something else by now lol.

I battled really hard deciding whether to go with the poverty 63 or the showoffy 63s and went for the S. In hindsight i would have been better off going with the poverty tune.

He mentions when the cars are given to him for "long term loaner" tests. This one was purchased by him.
