S4 ==> AMG

Hi folks,

Last month I traded in my 2010 S4 and got myself into a 2012 C63 Edition 1. The car was a lease return with about 35.5k miles and completely stock. So far I've added 30% Huper Optik tint and replaced the interior lights with LEDs. That should hold me off for a while till the bug bites again.

This is my first automatic and it still feels a little weird, but I'm sure I'll get used to it. It's the weekend car so it might take a little longer, but that's a good problem to have.

Couple shots I took last week.

I made the same move from a highly modified 2011 S4 to a 2012 C63. I love everything about it. Only thing I miss is the lines in the backup camera haha.

Welcome to MBWorld! Why the change up from the S4? I do love that C63, it looks super clean. Great pictures too, thanks for sharing.

Thanks! Just felt like wanting something new and to check the V8 box. I finally swapped out the S4 taillight that I bought from you guys 2 months ago even though it was burned for almost a year.

It happened much faster than I thought but so far I'm happy. I didn't think the handling would be this good.

Makes sense! Glad you're enjoying the new car.

This facelift shape W204 C63 is always going to be one of my top 5 favourites (not to mention in Silver as well). Welcome to the family, may it be a long & happy stay
