Picked up a BB C63s this weekend with 4K miles on it, and totally in love with the car it's an absolute animal. What's the recommended oil change interval and the best lowering kit on the market for it? I saw KW HAS but I don't want a harsher ride. My wife already hated how jarring this car rides on the way home from picking it up, I read KW softens it up a bit while lowering.
Great looking car, like it with the silver bits. I should receive my KW kit today and hope to have it installed soon. Hopefully others that have them installed will comment here.

Nice Ride! Don't forget to let air out of the tires, when I picked mine up the tires were over inflated to almost 60psi! It makes a difference in the ride!
2nd recommendation on tire pressure. 35-38 is good. I run mine at 35. I also have the KW HAS kit and is not noticeably different then stock in firmness, unless you go really low in the back.

I've had the bushings installed for over a month now. No problems, and best of all factory alignment specs and no accelerated tire wear. A must for lowered cars IMO.
The recommended tire pressure on my 2015 C63S was 45 PSI for all four. That seemed very high but that's what Mercedes recommended for the car so that's where I kept it. If you go with a lower pressure than recommended you'll eventually get tire wear on the outside of the tires. If you over inflate it will wear in the middle. Also, under inflation puts more heat in the tire at higher speeds which is not good for the tire. If you drive at high speeds the tire will run cooler and is recommended if that's how you drive. But yes, you will get a softer ride at low PSI but it might come at a cost in premature tire wear.
To the OP; Congrats on the new addition to the garage. That's my favorite color on a C63S. I just picked up a loaded 2019 in the Selenite Grey Magno matte finish. It looks great in the grey matte and the AMG carbon aero package but if I would have had a choice in paint color I would have gone with the blue. Regardless, I've very happy with this car. I'll have to post it with pics as soon as get a free minute or two.
