Wow, rare color and rare carbon-ceramic brakes. You will definitely be very pleased with those brakes, especially when you track a lot...until it's time for the brake job: $$$$$. Anyway, it's a fine machine.

I have heard carbon-ceramic rotor lasts 3 times as long as metal rotors. But even with that, the high cost of replacement is way more than 3 times the price of the regular rotor. Nevertheless, the brake system is awesome.

IF you don't track the car and if you are careful not to allow the pads to wear down to the backing plates and hence harm them, the rotors should last the life of the car or about 200K miles.

Nice color! Finally someone on this forum with another blue Bi-Turbo.

Where does the 578 hp come from? I thought the crank factory rating for pp was 550hp.

E63AMGJOE:

Congrats! Welcome to the (very small) family of Quartz Blue E63 owners. I have had my 2011 for coming up on 2 years now (it was an early order) and I appreciate the color as much now as I did when I first picked it up. Good thing you got your order in for 2012 as it looks like the color will sadly be discontinued on the E Class for 2013. And the Carbon Ceramic brakes look pretty cool. I must say that is a beautiful car even if I am a little biased . . .

Kind regards

Saw a quartz blue W212 E350 this morning. I guess MB must have based it off the number of ordesr and decided to cancel the color.

love the car and its looking good but to give it that aggressive mean look you gotta drop it on the KW's and while your doing that with the front wheels off you might as well put 10mm spacers front & back and the stance will be perfect, I did this exact thing to mine and it looks like a different car, and please get a flat hood emblem, I changed mine out on the dealers' lot before I pulled off with my car

Nice tint. The three pointed star still match the grill. Of course, if you have the grill with the large center star, then a flat hood emblem will be in order. Another incentivefor the flat emblem is to have the 3 pointed star on your table rather than ending up on some rapper-wannabe's neck chains.

Nice, unique color.

Forget the flat badge, the standup Star is pure classic M-B cachet-class and unique these days!

So its been 4-5 Months now with the Beast. I love it, but im craving more....

I need some opinions for mods...(This is a DD and See clients in)

Here are some of my thoughts....

1- ECU Tuning ( But I have the PP Package?)
2- Springs / Spacers?
3 - CF Front/ Rear Diffuser?
4- Open to any ideas!....
