Honestly I love wasting money and AMG has supported me with this habit all my life LOL. We will see. I think Id rather just wait and see what the new RS7 brings.

We’ll have to see how the BMW interior holds up but we have had a couple SL’s with porcelain white interiors and they had literally had zero wear over the 2-3 years of use.
Most of the jeans are stonewashed but light coloration could be just wiped off.
That said, I really like what BMW did with the leather patterns/stitching. Gives the car a Bentley’ish feel to it...

A belated happy holidays Vic. My fascination with the GT63s is mainly an emotional one but I agree, it has nothing on the new M5 or M8 (except a significantly greater price tag). The GT63S that I'm really interested looks like this but in the "S" version:
Wolf, the interior of the M8 looks amazing. Congrats!! Did your car come with ceramic brakes?

Worst yet, those Competition wheels are virtually impossible to clean. Lots of small openings and no way to get to the inside barrel. One can only hope the the BMW steels produce less brake dust than the Mercedes ones...
I was surprised of how few GT63s had CCB's as well. I suppose it was to keep the list price in check. Any CCB car scratched the $200k mark.

Wow, what a looker inside and out!!! How do you like the aggressive drive modes? I agree on the exhaust, even the CE is a bit muted. Here is my car (my actual car yes) sporting the first Remus Exhaust in the US. I find Remus to have that duality of tone where its deep at lower rpms but then gets more exotic as the ranges bump up:

How does it sound on this inside? Did you have the active sound deactivated on the M5?
I haven't really haven't gone too aggressive yet as the car is a bit handicapped. Michelin PS4s below freezing is a no no. Will have Sottozeros mounted on Monday. Not perfect but safer...

Incredible difference on the exhaust! Nice

Will check on the remote coding. Thanks.
I was actually surprised that many features we needed to code before are now good on the M8. Even auto-high beam stay persistent. But to your point the M8 is so insulated I probably won't hear a thing when active sound is coded out. There is an annoying light drone at 80mph that needs to be addressed.

seat belts, door chimes, ambers out, blind spot at 15 mph, AS, high beam dazzle crap, video in motion, different ambient colors, etc.
Its worth all the money.

Just some info for anyone interested about their values and depreciation based on just one transaction.
I bought a brand new, just delivered 2019 GT63S Edition 1 with MSRP of $200,495, got a discount of $25k since 2020s are all around.
Re-sold it back to my dealer without even taking the car for a spin, still with plastic covers on, for $146k.
I could have kept it and sell my '19 S63 but then I would have to take an even higher loss, besides, at this point I prefer my S, since I made it perfect with Renntech turbo upgrades and may other things.
