Are your handles dechromed?!
I like the badge touch!! Looks very smart.
I might do my handles this weekend.
Paint correction and ceramic coat I'll get done in a couple weeks. The circle I can see already on all areas of the paint work stresses me out.

I'm massively jealous you got Michelin's and not conti's.

I have had the handles dechromed and also had the front grille done.
My paint is pretty immaculate which isn’t bad for a showroom car!

Unfortunately some come without the night pack and so have chrome round the windows.
I normally dechrome the handles with satin black wrap and I did the grille on my last GLC 63 with the same wrap.
The one thing I'm going to miss from this GLC, is the ability to drop the back down when it's parked. I don't see the button for that in the boot any longer? Anyone know if you can change the height of the rear, whilst in the parked position? Came in handy to lift things into the boot, and also made it look slammed

Not a fan of black / night packages, so glad to have chrome!
That button to drop the back down never did much IMHO, we had that on the GLC43.

Switching from a 2017 GLC43 to the GLC63 E Performance. Car is due here in MT in mid April, think it's on board the Daisy Leader, hoping it sneaks under the wire from the tariffs hitting April 2nd (the day it gets unloaded)

2025 AMG G 63 SUV /// 2025 AMG GT 63 S E Performance 4 Door Coupé
So I am going to duck for cover now as I know the 4 pot hybrid is frowned upon…but hear me out!
I have owned a previous GLC63S with the fire breathing V8 and currently have a Brabus tuned GLE53 so each car change I seem to be dropping 1000cc…
I was wandering around my favoured showroom and a gleaming white compact SUV caught my eye, I had been deliberating dropping down a size in vehicle as we also have a new GLA45s and for the area we live in I found it much more manageable in the tight roads, plus I like to change.
They gave me a C63Se for a two days and I was actually impressed, yes the V8 sound is a thing of the past and the noise upped in does seem artificial, but I thought I will embrace technology on this one. It was quick, very quick, the interior felt like a huge step up on the GLE which is probably as that is built in Alabama? I found this thing fun, the back end because of the electric owner meant on full throttle, it would skip the back out and it handled well.
I appreciate purists will dismiss this setu and I can appreciate why, I have owned the V8, but I have experienced that and wanted something different.
Sooo…I took the GLC63SE out for a day and it was in my view better. The ride was more compliant in gentle settings and I felt the body roll was not intrusive. The performance will still outstanding and as an all round daily, it ticked a lot of boxes.
On that basis, I take delivery of this Opalite White version on the 1 March!

Not sure if anyone else had a recall on the high voltage battery, but I took mine in on Friday....
The tank said 140-odd ish miles....they carried out the update...they gave the car back...
Tank said 220miles!!! I don't know what the update did, but now it seems mega efficient!!

I’m averaging 16mpg so if it improves that would be a bonus!

2018 Mercedes AMG C43 (sold), 2025 GLC63s Coupe
2025 GLC63 Squeaky Brakes
Hi - I just got a 2025 GLC63S Coupe last week. I love it so far coming from a 2018 C43. The car is so much more comfortable than the C43 was and I am shocked at how good the ride quality is. I am at about 520 miles, and my brakes are LOUD. They only squeak when below 10mph, but it sounds like its coming from both the front and rear brakes. They squeak loud enough that other cars turn and look. Is this normal or do the brakes need to break in a bit in order for this to resolve?

I have the same problem with my '25 GLC63 SUV with about 1300 miles on it. I have tried everything to get rid of it and nothing works. I did about 15 0 to 100 runs while slamming on the brakes to come to a complete stop, and they still do it. It's kind of embarrassing in a $100k+ car. AMG/Mercedes claims it's normal due to the "racing brakes" but my Corvettes (with and without ceramics) are like 1/4 of the noise, so I don't really buy that explanation. I do know this has been a problem for YEARS with AMGs though, so I wouldn't hold my breath on a "fix". It's the only part of this car that i do not like.

I am on similar mileage and the squeaks are now very infrequent.
On this spirited drive I did achieve 6.5 miles to the gallon..!!
