Hello all...i am a new member (kind of)...used to frequent the forums a lot back when i had a 2012 c63 and went a bit MIA after i traded it in for a 2014 m5.

I recently went to my local dealer who i have dealt with and placed an order for a 2020 c63S sedan... i am very excited and cant wait to get back into a c63..i am planning on trading my 2015 e63S.

Does anyone know when production will begin on the 2020’s? Dealer has told me they’re waiting for an allocation slot from MB..i have paperwork showing my order and etc. just wanted to get an understanding of when i should be expecting the car.

Any help will be greatly appreciated and i am looking forward to speaking to some of you veterans...Vic55 was around back in 2012 and I’m glad to see him still in here..i envy his collection!!

Thanks all!

There are lots of variables. The first one is "waiting for an allocation." Depending on the size of the dealer, this can be very open-ended. It's always safest to have a slot or a dealer willing to trade for one.

The next issue is when MB actually has the model certified. Each new model year requires new testing. In 2019, for instance, many models were built and shipped but spent months waiting for testing and release.

The best source of information is a really good sales associate. He will keep your informed when MB issues the release schedule, which is usually pretty accurate. He will also be upfront about a slot allocation. Unfortunately, this usually means a large dealership that's part of a group that can trade slots.

 

Are there any differences from the 2019 model?

 

I have a 2020 coupe on order, placed back in May. My SA has repeatedly advised me the order has received an allocation slot and I should expect the car in August. This seems ambitious to me given there are still people in the '19 delivery thread waiting for their cars, but I will be pleasantly surprised if the car arrives before October.

 

Aw man Vic doesn't even have a GT-R yet mate! But he does have a minty M car with some illuminated seats

 

not really from what i saw in the dealer ordering guide. few differences are that some things come standard on the 20. the only reason i ordered a 20 is because i’ll be out of the country until august/september and don’t want to be scrambling looking for a 19 when i get home

 

my SA has told me realistically by october... august seems really soon but i am hoping you get it by then if that’s a possibility

 

Just placed order. Dealer working on changing a previously held allocation for late fall. The stated would arrive late part of fall so I’m assuming November. In the US btw
