It will be tight, but not like a Lotus or Porsche sport seat. I'm sure that if you travel at all, everybody on this board would be willing to have you try it out. I'm near Chicago. Let me know. AS

I'm 6'-5", 235 pounds and while its a snug fit for me the seats do hold you in place quite nicely!

Depends on where you carry the weight. I'm 6'2" 230. I can easily fit in the car with a helmet. Seats are very comfy and supportive. If you carry the weight in the lower section, might be tight.

I think the latest C63 has the same type of seat as the black 63. (I could be wrong about this .) You could just go down to your local MB dealer and see if the seat fit you.

USCBlack solved your problem, he's right, the C63 seat is no bigger than the Black Series seat.

easy to find a BS that is out of the price range. All day in the 70's for a silver or black. White or red get in line.

I am a cash buyer waiting for the "right" car. I'm sure most on this board are in a similar position or own one already.

As far as size goes, I do not own one yet but I am in the market and I have sat in one. 6' and 275lb. No issues.

I disagree with your statement that you can find silver and black cars "all day long in the 70's", where, eBay, AutoTrader, Cars. com? Personally, I prefer my silver over the other colors but that's just me. What is the "right" car, you have very limited choices, with/without TPMS and iPod. If you are a serious buyer you would own one by now.

the c63 seat is tight. im 235, 5'11" i mean maybe if you shaved my lovehandles off it would have been great. i think i hated the fact you cant adjust the seat like on my car

i hope you realize it was tongue in cheek.....i love the car and dont want to sell it. But im not married to it and it would take alot for me to sell it, as everything has a price. Just get a silver/black one.....the color wont matter after awhile. The car handles like its on rails no matter the color.

No worries. For me it is simple. The typical MB depreciation kills me. Just sold my better half's CLS and took a beating. Sold a P car last year and again took a beating. Have a 993 up for sale and the economy is going to hurt me on this one, where I thought I bought something that would hold up. Sick and tired of taking an *** whipping on cars. I don't buy them for investment purposes, but I am convinced I need to buy smarter.

When I find the right silver one low to mid 70's or the right white around 80 I am game.
