So just curious... And maybe I should start a whole new thread... But I know many of you are either waiting to receive or build a new c63 coupe. What color combo and options are you guys going with? I'm constantly battling color choices, interior color, and which options are must haves and worth the $$$ and which ones are just personal preference.
I'm patiently waiting to get the build specs for US. Initially I was going to go with the selenite grey metallic but seems like that is going to be a "popular" choice and I like to be different. I have a love hate thing going with the Dakota brown. It catches my eye every time I see it on other Mercedes BUT I don't feel it is a "sporty" color and not sure it would compliment the coupe well. I dunno. I personally like the diamond stitched interior. Porcelain or saddle brown? Regular or performance seats? Hud or no hud? So many options!!
Anyway, what are all of you doing and why "if u have a specific reason"

This is partly because I'm a sucker for the tech like distronic etc
(though I do find it quite useful actually), but also because in the UK they group options into packages that can't be chosen separately (for example if I want the burmester sound system I have to get the pano roof, ILS, keyless-go and leather dashboard as well)Performance seats are standard for us as well but after testing two C63 saloons that had each type of seat I'm a big fan of the perf. seats, they take some getting used to but they look awesome and give a great balance of support and comfort.
The hud is really personal preference, it's a bit of a gimmick but it does have that 'wow' factor (especially in AMG display mode) and when I used it it was quite useful being able to see essential info while keeping my eyes on the road.
Saddle brown interior isn't available for the coupe (though it appears to be available on the cabriolet as two-tone interior). Options we can help you with, but thing about exterior/interior choices is that it's really up to you, you'll be the one driving the car and admiring it everyday
Hope that helped you a bit, anything more specific to ask I'll try and help again

I've gone with Selenite Grey and Red Pepper with carbon fibre trim for the interior. In terms of specs mine is only missing CCB's and the Carbon exterior trim (night package instead).

Thanks for the input! I really like your choice of color combo. Like I said, selenite was my initial color of choice and may still end up being what I go with. Though the brilliant blue also looks good in the pics. And of course the brown sits in the back of my mind just b/c it's just different. I didn't realize the saddle brown interior wasn't available for the coupe. Guess that eliminates one choice!! Lol! I haven't had a chance to sit in the perf seats but seems that mostly everyone who has them is happy with them. So I'm thinking it will be a checked box once I can build. Again, thanks for the input. I like hearing about what others chose, reasons for their choices, and opinions on certain options. Enjoy the car and post some pics once you get her!
Will definitely post some pics once she finally arrives, 2 more months to go hopefully!

No problem, happy to help! Thanks! You really can't go wrong with the selenite, it's a beautiful colour but like Sanch said just before, they've done wonders with 'brilliant blue', it's quite a stunning colour, also the coupe just looks truly menacing in obsidian black. One more elimination of options as I haven't seen brown as an available exterior either (would've been very different and interesting as you say though)
Will definitely post some pics once she finally arrives, 2 more months to go hopefully!

This selenite coupe thread is driving me bananas, I mean that in a good way lol as this car/colour combo is just so drop dead sexy and gorgeous it's not funny, even that pic above of a dirty example looks damn good 
Also glad to see someone else besides myself point out that the silver wheels look great as opposed to black which every man and his dog seem to going for these days, especially on a colour like the selenite grey that's definitely the better wheel finish choice

Well great news from my dealership -_-
May build, 2-3 months build and delivery time
And so my long wait becomes even longer, I'm definitely asking for compensation of some kind for this misinformation. Whoever told then to tell me it was coming in March in the first place should be sacked.

I think March was wishful thinking on their end.... AMG Coupe dealer demos haven't even arrived yet.

I just got a call from my dealer today saying that they've received an allocation for a C63S Coupe -- they're saying production in the first decade of August, with delivery in early September. This is North America btw.
I'm going to spec out the Coupe at the dealer this weekend and lock down the allocation.

No idea on pricing yet - my guess is that it'll be released by the end of this month or early next.
I plan on doing European Delivery, so I'm hoping the Coupe is eligible for a discount (up to 7% off MSRP). These Coupes aren't going to be flying off the shelves here in Boston, so I wouldn't expect to pay over MSRP (nor would I expect to pay under, assuming no ED delivery).

2013 C63 Coupe P31, waiting on W205 Coupe S
I saw one yesterday in Fort Lauderdale while having lunch. It was a C63S coupe in white with the red interior, pano roof, black 19" wheels with the AMG red brakes (no CCBs). It was driven by an extremely beautiful woman...

So I happened to pass a few dealers today and saw the standard coupe sitting in the yard. One was outside so took some pics. I know it's not the AMG version (or selenite metallic), but I tell you what even this got the heart pumping seeing it in the metal. The lines of the window and sides of the car just look stunning, and the rear end is even better than what the photos look like. Can't wait to see the first C63 in person.

The only thing that I'm really disappointed about is how MB has bundled the premium packages. In order to get the nice looking Dynamic LED Headlights (instead of those ugly single LED's), you HAVE to buy Premium 3 package which has nothing I want except for the upgraded lighting (and Premium 3 includes all the driver aid options like Distrionic Plus, and it includes all of Premium 1 & 2, so it'll probably cost a fortune). The Dynamic LED Headlights are a $800 standalone option on the Sedan, so there's no excuse for only having it available with the Coupe in the most expensive Premium package!
