ok…
do they use sand in the winter in the roads or pickled mix? My advice is regardless of wrap unless you wrap the whole car, your in for a whole world or hurt. The car CANNOT be put through a car wash at all, and needs to be washed by hand all the time.

I guess I need an engine and 4 wheels to go with it.
I have just gone to see my SA in person. He simply told me the car would typically require 2-3 weeks of production time and after that, a shipping date can then be generated and the approx. arrival in the country can be uploaded/updated in the MB database. Therefore, for now, I have simply said to my SA, if the car encounters any further unexplained delay beyond December 2017, I will NOT accept the car at all, no matter what and they can proceed to refund my deposit on Jan 2, 2018. Not a threat, but simply tired of this whole buying situation (as I am the one having to chase down the information on each of the steps along the way) and will look for something else later on.

Not sure why some people feel wrapping an entire matte car is such a must. What's the point of getting the matte in the first place if you are going to wrap it?

C63coupe2012, that looks amazing! Congratulations. I'm a little upset I gave up on waiting, not spending more money, and just getting one. I settled for an M550i because I got impatient and cheap. But, my wife is already talking bad about BMW so I can see us back in an MB just like yours soon
Does that Smart car in the back ground really need a lift? Couldn't they just use two hand trucks and prop it up!

You're gonna really like the car. What color int combo did you get? Mine has the Nut Brown/Black Leather with the Lined Magnolia trim and the piano gloss black center console, I'll try to take more
pictures of the car tomorrow and post them here. Ya, some people don't like the Red, I do, pictures don't do it justice, in person it looks awesome and I'm really liking the silver forged wheels.
The backside of the car has a lot of bling and I'm liking it. It's a very flashy looking car. I've had Silver, Gray and Black cars in the past and just wanted
something really different this time around.

I got the black leather with metal weave trim, black seat belts, black headliner. Have had a mix of light and dark interiors in the past. I think both brown and black will look nice with the red paint.
Let's see more pics including interior! When you get a chance.

Wow, we're really on the same page with this car. I've previously owned a silver Lexus IS350, gray Audi S5, silver Ghibli, and now gray E350 Sport Wagon. Never had or wanted a red car, but for some reason I wanted it on this model. Kind of surprised myself by not getting gray, silver, or the dark blue.

I traded the C63S for a GLE63, hated that, and now I am waiting on an Edition 1.

Really nice pics. Kind of feels like Audi has lost their way recently with styling. When I got my '09 S5 I thought it was one of the best looking cars around. And I almost got a second gen R8 which was super slick when it came out. Really liking the current generation of MB sedans and wagons. The AMG GT in the background is gorgeous too. Now there's a car I'd get in silver!

Can you compare the ride & handling with the S6? Specifically how would you compare the various suspension settings (e.g. Comfort modes). I have an E63S on order, and a S6 as well coming up on the end of its lease. Having not had the opportunity to drive the E63 I am curious how it will compare. I tend to leave the S6 in Comfort mode as I find it stays pretty flat through the corners and remains composed over bumps.

I got 4 free services...something like 2500-3000$ worth. better than nothing...I thought it was the 4 year free maintenance but its 4 free times for service. Mine was delivered today in Montreal.

I have to confirm but I believe it was the 3 years maintenance plan they gave me. I saw it as better than nothing. Plus they were proactive and offered it to me before I had to even ask
