First mods to the sedan?

Just bought my first AMG... the 2017 C63S sedan! Got a deal I just couldn't pass up.

What's the first mod that you guys did? For me I'm thinking the AWE switch path exhaust since my car didn't come with the performance exhaust.

An Akrapoviç exhaust would be my choice.

Weistec or KW coilovers. Wider tires, best performance tires for your area. All around, just get more suspension upgrades. Maximize your cars traction and you'll beat everyone else if you track it. Even if you dont track it, it'll look more bull dog stance which is always nice. Oh and pick up a front splitter and a rear diffuser. Done

Firstly preserve your cars paint and interior - have the paint, vinyl, fabric and leather treated with a quality product and at least wrap the bonnet, bumper and guards of the car to protect from stone chips.

Then I'd go 295's on the rear and fit your factory 265's up front and get a wheel alignment asap this will improve traction and save your tyres from the get go.

Fit KW HAS and lower all round improving the look and handling.

AWE Track Edition Exhaust will give your C63S the sound that you will get addicted to everytime you start and drive your car.

If you enjoy your music you may want to add a sub or two...

Can I fit the wider tires on the stock rims? What width can I go up to?

Agree with protecting your car first. I got full front clear bra and then ceramic coating for the entire car. After you get your house in order, decide performance vs looks.

Performance - TIRES
Looks - agree with exhaust since you don't have performance exhaust.

You can. Here is a thread where they talked about it.

The safest option is 255 (front) and 275 (rear) for the sedan.

Already contacted my guys and set it up to get a clear bra on the front once I take delivery and wash it.

I think I'm going to go with the AWE switch path exhaust vs the track simply because it'll help fight drone when I have family in the car and can switch it off then its just me.

I think I'm going to keep the stock tires it comes with till they wear out... which I presume will be fairly quick

I wish haha. The switch path is supposed to be just as loud with the valves open, I know it costs a lot more but its fine.

Options wise and pics, I take delivery next week Thursday or Friday depending on the truck driver so then!
