First s63 on the streets

I saw my first s63 today cruising around. I did not know that some had been delivered already. I first thought it was a fake 65, but then i speeded up to it with the 335 and saw that it said 63. It was really nice, but this car had aftermarket rims. It also had a spoiler and a roof wing. I would prefer to keep a 63 stock.

Fake??? Poser??
I find it difficult to believe ANY have been delivered. The first S63's for the US have just been completed at the factory, and have not yet been shipped to the US.

Prob fake.....it is LA, after all

Besides, early S63s typically will be factory-spec and have dealer paper tags (esp in CA)....the aftermkt stuff is for the "astute" used-car buyer

Even the Mar produc S/CL63s are being held, waiting for a slow-boat to US for May15 CL63 release and June1 S63 release.....and know of at least one CL63 buyer who is having his car air-shipped into CA to expedite deliv....

Yeah, forgot. Even though someone has ordered it, it will be held by the dealer until the official release date.

Honestly, i dont think it was fake. It seemed to real. I mean, i know my cars. I dont get fooled. It had Rusnak plates. Black on Black. 6.3 Liter badges on the side. The back bumpers were different. The front bumper was different. Also, the guy in it didnt look like the retarded type to falsy badge a car. I do not know how to explain the exhausts. Do you guys have picks on how it should look?

I can't see it being the real deal not just yet. Though if it had all that junk on it, it definitely isn't a corporate/MFR car.

S63 has 4 exhaust tips. I guess you could say the S65 has four, but they're kind of fused together at the end.

Well, the 1st CL65 has also been spotted in the US, so perhaps there was an early shipment.

Some people with the right connections can get cars early. I've seen a few Mercs/BMWs/Ferraris that weren't supposed to be out yet on the road, it happens.
