Very nice! Gorgeous color! Is that Lunar blue? Did you trade a '16 C63 S for it?

Beautiful car. I did the same trade. 2012 C63 to E63 S. Such a huge difference in ride and speed.

Yes lunar blue. 2014 18k miles. I had a 2016 C63 but the non S. It's rare to see these cars in Hawaii. So I couldn't pass up on this one. Gotta do some major detailing soon. Restore those flakes and that clarity.

Congratulations on the new car. Lunar blue is one of my favorite colors. Did you find it in HI or did you have it shipped in?

Got it in HI. Color is fantastic. The wheels compliment it even better. Although I have HRE wheels in a box.

Congrats on the new car! Am a fan of Lunar blue myself!

Would love to know what drove you to trade from a new generation C63 beyond looks. Do have the need for more space?

Also, which island are you on? I'm currently on Maui and have been to Oahu and the Big Island a couple of times. Every time I've been to Hawaii (any island), I think to myself how much it would suck to be an enthusiast of fast cars here. I can totally see why you'd want a 4x4, but every road seems to have a 40 mph speed limit. And even if you don't intend on following the limits, it seems like every road is a 2 lane road and there's always someone slower (even when I'm In a rental minivan). Are there actually places you can open up your car here? I find it very aggravating here, but maybe I just don't know the right places to go.

Originally went to look for a car for the wife. Saw this on the showroom floor. Always wanted this. Was always a big fan of AWD cars (came from an Evo). I had no complaints about my C63 but I wanted a little more power and a slightly bigger car with my expanding family.

As for Hawaii I'm on Oahu. I have a few more years on here before the wife and I move back to the mainland. There are places here on island where you can open the car up. There's also SCCA which is something I would like to get into. There's on going talks about bringing back a drag strip to the island. Oahu is the only island without a race track.

Yeah I'm glad my FF wheels will fit this motto. I'll be picking up new tires after I sell the ones currently on the wheel.

This car is fantastic. Feels very planted when I drive and take off from a corner. Going to do some major detailing and assume the previous owner didn't do anything besides a basic car wash (Previously a corporate car). Mods are down the horizon.

I'll take better pictures after I detail it. The paint needs some loving and there's lots of fine scratches, pits, and sap on the car. I'm going to give it a hybrid compound, cutting polish, a final polish, then a sealant with wax afterwards. Then I'll take photos.
