The Unicorn Blue CLK63 AMG Black Series
I didn't see these photos posted on the forum yet so thought I would share. In the US, there were only 10 red CLK63 Blacks. This unicorn blue however seems to be 1 of 1? Located in the Netherlands.
Does anyone know what this color is called? Reminds me of the Interlagos Blue available for the E46 M3. I've always loved this color. I wish they had made the blue CLK63 available here in the US.

I had some responses from the AMG PL and found that this color is the Designo Mystic Blue. An awesome color. I guess this Black Series was either a special 1-off order or a very good re-paint.

Re-paint. I am pretty sure there was only ever "ONE" one-off color done in Matte Silver for the PL Editor Scott. All of the rest delivered were Red, White, Silver, and 2 Blacks.

Yeah, I've read about that and I believe it to be true in the US. This blue one however is from the Netherlands so maybe he had a special Designo order? Not sure, but either way, it looks great.

CLK63 Black Series
The guy who owns the capri blue CLK posted pics here a long time ago … you can do a search if you're willing to invest the time. He bought it new and it is a factory color … you can have any color in Europe done by the performance studio … they made an orange one with full leather interior as well … there is also a thread here some place about that car. Unfortunately, the performance studio does not touch US cars … even if you would ship the car to them.
Here is the video of the blue CLK …
BTW, I've been to the performance studio in Affalterbach, got a tour and talked to the guy in charge. There was a "one off" carbon fiber engine cover/air box that I really wanted … but couldn't get … and I tried pretty hard

i'm planning to goto Stuttgart in April (from Munich), I wonder if a tour at the AMG/performance studio is available @ Affalterbach since it's just 30 minutes of driving from Stuttgart.

All it takes is a call … even though I was born in Stuttgart and German is my mother tongue, everyone at AMG speaks perfect English 
… make an appointment and you get a tour of the Performance Studio. I got to see HWA AG as well, which is right next to it, but not sure if that is part of a "regular" tour.
While you're in Stuttgart, go to the MBZ museum … make sure you have plenty of time … it's HUGE. Porsche is just a stone's throw away and has, even though small in comparison, a very nice museum as well.
Last year I picked up my F10 M5 at the BMW Welt in Munich … another thing I would recommend to see … than go across the street and see the BMW museum.

You read my mind hahaha
I'm actually going for an euro delivery too for the bimmer, so I'm planning to strike BMW Welt/museum to pick up the car and then stop by the Audi museum to get both out of the way in Munich (hopefully within two days), and then head over to Stuttgart to walk through both Mercedes & Porsche museum (another two days, and hopefully squeeze this Performance Studio AMG trip within these two days). After that, hit up the ring w/ track-side rentals to drive and tour/shop the memorabilia shops for another day. Hopefully that'll leave me a day or two for other sight-seeing during this Germany trip.
Any other suggestion of places I should stop by while I'm there?

BTW, if you plan on going to/through Austria, you'll need to carry a reflective safety jacket in your car … you can borrow mine … no need to buy one … I live in Manhattan Beach. There are some killer mountain passes, if you enjoy corners
Couple of pics of what to look forward to ...

Congrats on your Euro delivery BMW! You're going to have a great time! What model are you picking up at the Welt? I can give you some ideas where to go and what to see … all depends on how much time you'll be spending in Europe. I go at least once a year to Europe with my wife who is American … She loves Europe, Italy in particular … one year on the way from Venice to Portofino we stopped at the Ferrari factory,test track and to have some lunch at Enzo's restaurant.
