Great News! C63s V8 Confirmed for MY2022
Sorry if this has already been posted. From all my research, it seemed the consensus was that 2021 was the final production year for the C63 V8. Today, I got some good news. I called 3 local Benz dealers who all confirmed the current FL model will survive for what will likely be its final year. Gone is the sedan and C63, only the C63s will remain. Apart from a few paint color and option package changes, the 2002 will largely resemble the 2021.
One of the dealers told me they were already sold out of build slots. The other two had plenty left and invited me to pay hem a visit. I was emailed the 2022 order guide. Base MSRP TBD, but I was told it will be around a 2-3% hike. I’m glad I didn’t buy a 2021 yet as I’ll be making my way to Benz later this week to stake my claim on 2022. I’ve attached a few pages of the order guide.

This is my only concern. Do I gamble and hope the 2022’s go into production as planned without any major delays or scoop up one of the remaining 2021’s? Tough call, but I think the 2022’s should be ok. The one silver lining I see is that the sedan and non-S models are being dropped so I’d imagine they’re gearing up for a big production run on the only model that’s left.

I just mentioned this on your other thread before I saw this one. The gamble is also that they may produce your car w/o all the ordered options instead of delaying it. That's what's been happening to some people who ordered cars.

I just saw your post in my other thread. It would super suck if I have to wait 6-8 months and have my car show up without all the options when I could’ve grabbed a 2021. I’ll talk to the dealer tomorrow and at least confirm they 100% have allocation. The dealer I’m going to use is probably the most reputable one in town.

Doubt it will be a big production run. Typically last MY production is short to allow time for the factory to retool for production of the new model. IIRC, 2021 sedan production only lasted 6 months. The last one rolled off the assembly line before the end of 2020.
I saw that throttle house mentioned how they got to test drive a e63 because the buyer who ordered the car didn't get the car with the specs (performance seats), so he refused delivery. Seats included in the global shortage supply?

Yes, seats are affected, too. Anything with an ECU somewhere can be affected. The multi-contour seats for the E63 have been temporarily discontinued even as far as I know. In this situation, though, the performance seats are no longer offered in North America for the FL E63. They weren't from the beginning and not because of a shortage, but because they didn't sell. They are not listed as an option in Canada, either.
oh interesting, yeah at 14:49 in that video they explain, I guess what the dealership explained to the guys, that the original buyer refused delivery because it was missing the performance seats. Perhaps just dealer trying to spin a story on why an e63s is sitting in their show room.
Yep, that, too. I'm curious if they finally figured out their thermal management. The Model 3 Performance with track mode still can't complete a single lap at the Nurburgring w/o the battery getting too hot and the car reducing power.
I am going to loose it if w205 continues till 2022. The only reason I grabbed mine is because I thought this was the last production year.
Well, the W205 (sedan) is done, but the C205 (coupe) and the A205 (convertible) will go on for at least another model year, but getting one configured to spec might prove difficult. I sure hope that's not your only reason you bought it. What does it matter if there's another model year? Also, keep in mind the coupe and cab came out a year after the sedan.

Agree, superswiss. I’m going with a 2021 for that reason. If I build a 2022, i may end up waiting into 2022 and not even get the exact car spec’d as ordered. The 2021 is a month out, I can’t wait!
