Estimated completion date Dec 20th , @ dealership end of Jan 2021
I am super excited ! long time coming.

I was going to just opt for a M5 or M4 , but the rear of the AMG C63 just gets me.
The road presence is unmatched at this time.

 

Congratulations! You're definitely going to love it.

 

After watching videos , etc ... I hope so
How has ownership been for ?
Does the car turn heads or is it more low key.

 

I have only had mine for a little over a year (14 months), but the experience has been great. No major issues, just maintenance items. And the car is definitely a head turner. And I see fewer of them around than M4s, which is what I almost got before I test drove the C63 coupe.

 

I have a '17 S model, and I would say that it's pretty low key. Although, with the exhaust in the loud mode (with a module to keep it open) I can turn some heads. I do wish mine was a little more aggressive. I had a '10 C63 and loved the looks, but the amenities of the new ones are so much nicer. In the end, I drive it for me but it is nice to get looks and comments.

I have found ownership to be very enjoyable. I love driving the car. It is a very comfortable car to eat lots of highway miles with, and turn it all up and it's great on the back roads and canyons. I looked at the same MY M4, both standard and comp. and it was an easy decision to go with the C63. And the exec. that okay'd the nose of the new M's oughta be taken out back and shot.

 

I have the same experience here in So Cal.
I see more and more M4s and 5 series than anything else

 

The wait and delays were killing me , I so ready to just take a 19/20 AMG E53 or M4.
In the end i knew I would hate myself.

I'm coming from a hybrid less than 200Hp lol , I cant imagine what the entrance to the freeway will feel like going home in something that produces over 400hp

 

On a side note...

If you're looking for a little more aggression, I would suggest getting an ASR module for extra noise as well as an intake. The intake supposedly helps over 5k rpm's, but the noise it allows to come out is worth the money on it's own. And as far as I know, neither will raise any eye brows come service time. If that doesn't do it, I think the spacers / wheels / lowered cars look amazing, but that's a personal opinion.

 

Yeah, you will want to be careful with that pedal on the right for a bit.

 

My set is 662 staggered 19f 20r
What spacers do you recommend , I would want to avoid that bulging tire look.

Man , I have so much Stuff i still need to do.
My 3rd car garage will finally have a tenant

1. Garage Door opener . someone to install the darn garage door opener .
2. Pressure washer
3. Car cover
4. Back up set of Tires
etc etc etc ....

 

Congrats. Let's hope it doesn't get held up with the COVID surges in Europe and the USA. My ownership experience has been great. Mostly maintenance and a few loose ends from the factory. Just had to replace my rear brake pads before Thanksgiving at a little over 17k miles, so be prepared for that. I also got a whole new set of tires at 10k miles. My alignment was off, though, so the inner edge of the front tires was showing the belts and I really wanted to replace the PSS with the PS4S. Road hazards are the bigger issue, though. Had a bent wheel and needed to replace the windshield after a rock hit it. In terms of attention, the coupe is a head turner for sure, especially with the aero package. I get constantly approached and complimented.

 

yikes, CA roads are murder ...
1. What Tires should i run with PSS or PS4S

New set at 10K , this must be your daily driver.
I have anticipated delays . wont be the 1st .
still waiting game.

My spec
Alpine white , Night Package , Media pack , heads up.

 

For the most part, the roads are actually not a problem here in the SF Bay Area. This happened in a spot where the pavement is raised by about 1 inch on an onramp. The annoying thing is that I knew about it, but with the lockdowns I hadn't driven through the area for a while and it was at dusk under an overpass. Hit it at the edge and it bent the lip of the front left wheel and bubbled the tire. It actually slightly bent the lip of the rear wheel as well, which I only discovered later, but it's too small to really do anything about it. Got the front lip straightened and the tire replaced under road hazard and filed a claim with the department of transportation. They've neglected to fix this for months.

Yes, this is my daily driver, but I put almost 7000 miles on it during my two months European Delivery trip last year, so it had about 10k on the clock at the beginning of this year. I'm not sure what you mean by what tires should you run. Do you mean size? I stayed with the stock sizes, because I wanted to see what difference the tire alone makes and the PS4S is a noticeable improvement. It does pretty well at the current lower temps as well, but they don't get hot enough for maximum grip just from normal driving, so they spin a bit more at the moment and the car is easier to slide, but still more grip than the PSS had last winter. Temps around here are currently in the 50s and we don't see lower than 40s typically, so summer performance tire all year for me. Bigger tires means more rotational weight and unless you put wider wheels on it, it results in the tire being more square. AMG actually goes for a slightly stretched setup for better sidewall stability around corners. If you go more square the tire rolls more over its side, which negatively impacts handling. I didn't want that. Besides daily driving, I also regularly go for 200+ miles canyon runs so that eats tires and brakes. I think the worn rear brakes are partially from all the canyon runs due to the torque vectoring on the rear axle and taking it on the Nurburgring in Germany. The rear wheels are caked in brake dust after each run and not so much from just daily driving it.

 

That all makes sense , low profile tires don't fair well in so cal. the constant road construction , nails , pot holes can wreck havoc on tires.
I was referring to the Tire manufacturer , you answered my question thou "thank you' .
I see online a set of PS4S for $350 a pair. maybe I am jumping the gun thinking back having a set of back up tires.
All good stuff thou , big thanks for the breakdown of your experience.

Any issue with the Interior , Audio , instrument cluster , Dash buttons and Seats , etc?

 

Where do you get the PS4S at $350 a pair? The rears are about $350 a tire on Tire Rack and the fronts about $250 a tire. They've also been in short supply due to COVID. Currently out of stock again. When I needed the new front tire, Tire Rack just got a shipment around when I ordered, so I was lucky.

I've had a couple of rattles and squeaks that were taken care of by the dealer and the back button of the center console touchpad is kinda funky. I never really use it, but they are going to replace it the next time the car is in. They forgot to do it last time. Infotainment works great, the online services are pretty reliable, traffic is very accurate and CarPlay works flawlessly. Love the digital instrument cluster and no issues with buttons etc. other than the mentioned back button on the touch controller, but between the steering wheel controls, jog wheel and touch pad there are like three ways to control the system, not to mention voice control which also works great. They just released a new updated Mercedes Me connect app, which is more reliable and has a refreshed UI and is supposed to get updates more frequently.

 

typo , yes i see the same thing $350 per TIre.

 

I HAVE A 20 63S AND WANT MORE NOISE ALL THE TIME. WHAT,WHO and WHERE getting a ASR module .
