C63 Black Series Sub Forum and Registry
https://mbworld.org/forums/suggestio...base-w204.html
Any of you black series guys interested, I found this in the suggestions area of the forum @GarlicBread suggested it earlier this year and I think it is a great idea, the same as there is a subforum for the CLK63 guys have. Maybe if a few more people comment we can make it a reality. I was also thinking it would be nice to just start collecting info and starting a registry document somewhere either hear or linked here to just collect a list of all the cars, maybe VIN and color and options as a thought? I have been collecting data for a year from various sales as a start but happy to make it the start of a document we can all update here.
Edit - adding USA ordering Guide as an attachment so everyone knows what the options are, would love to collect other locations guides to see the differences - like all US cars get Panoramic Option, some locations got SolarBeam Yellow as a color option etc.
Edit - @eddyngojr did a fabulous job compiling a registry on VINWIKI and it makes more sense to do it there as the whole community contributes and anything anyone finds we can sweep up in the registry there. That being said, I will contribute there going forward and I will stop updating the antiquated spreadsheet. I have removed the spreadsheet link as it will no longer be updated and I have added it attached here as a static document for anyone that wants it for reference.
Here are the lists on VINWIKI
US Cars

+1 to this, globally there is a higher production number on this vehicle than either of the CLK63BS & SL65BS, definitely deserves its own space.

Here is where I have gotten with documenting sales for the past year or so and anything I could find with info on one, I have about 1/4 of the 2012 cars in the US and a few of the 2013 cars, a few Canadian cars 15% or so and a spattering of ROW cars mostly in the UK.

on a complete tangent, do you guys use battery tender / trickle-charger on your C63BS? I found an open-connector (blue?) inside the black cubby-cover on the passenger-side inside the trunk, just behind the rear tail-light area, it sort of shape like the connector that is behind the driver-side tail-light area in my CLK63BS, not sure if that's where the MB battery tender (by CTEK) can be connected to.

I would love to have a C63 Black Series sub forum! This car is so special, I was stunned there wasn't one like there was for my CLK63 Black Series.

799 Diamond White
741 Black MB Tex/DINAMICA with Red Stitching
224 Rear Seat 4-Seat Confirguration
770 19" 10-Spoke Forged Allow Wheel (these are the polished wheels, NOT the black wheels)
I never knew that the Black Series was actually an option package (P98) kind of like the ZR-1 Pakage on Corvettes. An option package almost equal to the price of the base car that it is going on. LOL!

For WDDGJ7HB7CF865808 the options on that car are:
799 Diamond White
741 Black MB Tex/DINAMICA with Red Stitching
224 Rear Seat 4-Seat Confirguration
770 19" 10-Spoke Forged Allow Wheel (these are the polished wheels, NOT the black wheels)

I don't want to be the boss of all things though if anyone thinks it is worth tracking all option, cost or not we can add the full list that the order guide has.

I think that blue connector I saw on even my non BS car, think it is used for shipping or something if I recall. I do use a battery tender, I just put the pigtail directly on my battery terminal bolts and have the connect stick out from under under the floor inside the trunk.

Here's another one for the registry. Seems like Canadians are dumping their C63 BS's... they know something we don't?

Added to registry and I think the strong US dollar, Canadian $ is only 70 cents and the 160-180k sales price of the last 2 of these means 225k - 250k in your Canadian pocket!

whomever bought it was likely a dealer (or have a dealer license), it was never registered thereafter for private-use, at least on paper; the vehicle listing on BaT shows the vehicle location in Pewaukee,Wisconsin 53072
