2012 CLS63 AMG Black
Hey everyone, I'm new to this forum! Also new to Mercedes. Just picked up CLS63 AMG in Black / Black as a daily driver.
See photos.
Think I should have ordered it with Performance Package?

Welcome to the MB. Great forum and lots of helpful info.
Beautiful car!
You should have gotten the performance pk.
You know the saying… NOT ever enough HP!
You can always tune it if you fill the need for more power

Some say it is many thousands of $ for what is essentially an ECU tune. I believe the Performance Pack mainly is comprised of an increased boost. Considering AMG forced-induction engines are routinely underrated, it may well be that the performance advantage is in paper. That said, I haven't tested the new engines yet. Just enjoy the car now, not worth having any second thoughts. Tunes will most certainly be available soon.

The extra HP and torque is achieved through more boost.
Just waiting for some tuner to come up with the ECU remap/flash for the M157 and put the rest of the money towards wheels.

Hey Ali, noticed your order for CLS63 AMG is arriving in August. Is this a custom color (Manganites grey Matte) or is that the special launch edition color?

it is called edition 1.
i don't know the color for it. and no one has it untill now.
i know that in my country no one ordered it so i hope i will be unique. LOL
one friend who works in MB dealer told me my car arrived but they didn't call me. they are showing it off in the show room and it is locked and a sticker on it that it is sold. he told me it is mine.
i am currently outside UAE so it is working fine for me that they didn't call.
i hope no one will ride in it.
i told my brother to go and take some pictures of it.
i will post them as soon as i get them.

Yes, please do. Would love to see pics! Although I love black, this matte grey could look really bad-***.

For now, I'm still waiting for someone to come up with coilovers for the fronts. Rears is probably an ELM. I don't like seeing that gap under the fenders.
Then an ECU tune and some wheels.
How about yours?

Cool. Minor stuff: maybe 1-inch drop, new wheels, black-out the amber reflector lights and modifying the stock exhaust to increase noise level.
