The only Red Coupe C63s in North America!

If this color would have been available when I ordered my car I think I would have gotten instead of the black. It looks awesome!

I was wondering about that. Are Hyacinth and Cardinal the same?

you should black out the grille to go with the black bumper trim. itll look so much more aggressive but just my opinion of course

Glad to see its being taken care of .Not sure how long ceramic coating lasts, but I had the front ppf'd and the full car ceramic coated, including the wheels..
You have a great car there. I have sold a couple of cars that I have regreted, one was a SSG ACR Viper, the other was this one.

2017 C63 S COUPE
If you are ever in Vancouver you are welcome to come take her on a track! You built a beautiful machine. All the mods you put on are still on the car. I just had the car put back to stock height as she scrapes in my parkade and she deserves better. I just picked her up last Sunday. The ppf is still like new. Would you happen to have an options list for this car? It is such a unique build.

Too much maroon in the coloring. I’m a fan of Imola Red under the BMW brand and Carmine Red under the Porsche marquee. And Torch Red under the Blue Oval.
