New Owner in Austin TX - ‘17 AMG C63S Sedan

Hi everyone!

I just picked up my new to me ‘17 AMG C63S Sedan this week. I am loving it!

I come from the Audi scene, and it was fairly active here in Austin. How is the local Merc or AMG scene? Any events or groups I should be a part of? I’m looking forward to meeting folks!

Our other car is a Jaguar F Pace S, which my wife drives. She configured it herself. She has good taste.

Cheers!

I'm also a new owner in Austin, I live near downtown. I think AlexZTuned is also in Austin. I have a 2018 Obsidian Black C63S Coupe. I haven't heard of any meetups and I'd be down to go if there was one. Congrats on your new ride! Looks awesome! I really like that interior too!

Nice! I was born in Lewisville, and travel frequently to that area to see family and for work.

Cool! I work in North Austin and am rarely downtown, especially now with the Domain growing in size so quickly. Hope to see you around, always ready to meet up!

+1 in Austin (I live in Westlake). Moved here last August from Boston. I know there's another selenite grey C63S Coupe in the area (my doppelgδnger), but I don't think he's on the forum. I'd be down for a C63S Austin get together, I'm actually curious to see if anyone wants to do a few friendly pulls to see how my Dinan tune compares to stock.

I’m in North Austin and have a Selenite Grey C63s Coupe - only had it a week. Would love to compare it to a Dinan tuned car. Was thinking about getting Dinan myself.

I love the color of your interior. Saddle brown looks amazing.

Now that I've seen more pics of the interior, it is really nice. I retract my prior statement of it being "tacky." Well done!

Shoot me a PM, I’d be free sometime this week to meet up if interested! We can drive down to Mexico for some friendly pulls 😉

Thanks! Here’s a better picture. Really love the interior, just a couple squeaks I’m trying to isolate.

I think there’s a track day through SCCA in March. We should see if anyone is interested and get a group together.

And there's also the local Cars & Coffee. The second Sunday of each month. It's held at Concordia University- along FM 620 just east of 2222. February 11th is the next one.

Dang, thanks. I was planning on driving up from south Austin. I guess I'll go out to their website and see what's up. But, I'd still love to see a handful of new W205's anywhere anytime.

Nice. What's the car community like in Austin? I'm debating a move in the next 5 months or so.

Generally lots of events. Haven’t seen a lot of stuff specific to AMG or Mercedes but we can get there.

I had XPEL Austin wrap the front in XPEL PPF (front bumper, half hood, half fenders and mirrors) plus clean the wheels from the caked on brake dust from the previous owner and then cost with ceramic coating, along with coating the calipers. How sexy they look and were super easy to clean!

Yup... Did all the same stuff to my car except I did full hood and full fenders... Wish I did the A-Pillars too, though -- will probably get that done in the coming week... My detailer said the ceramic coating on the rims probably only lasts a few months though because of the heat and wear... He didn't even consider coating the calipers.
