    Farewell c63s. Hello E63s (soon)

    After 4 months of deliberating where to go next after my 2 year company lease on my c63s coupe runs out, I eventually plumped for the E63s. Hopefully the right choice (bought personally, not through my company, works out better for me now, less income tax than BIK). The C63s is hands down the...

    Dashcams

    I did actually have an independent witness as well who stopped and gave me his details. I discovered he was called by the insurance company as well. A van flew around a tight bend, locked up and thundered into my driver's door propelling the car sideways into a low wall. So whilst the impact...

    Dashcams

    In case anybody is currently in two minds whether to get a dash cam or not, I say do it (switch the speed indicator off though :-)) Having one and the subsequent footage was the difference between my car's +£30,000 repair bill being split between insurance companies and the van driver's...

    Buying An A45 My Experience

    Well done, a fine choice indeed! You will not be disappointed I promise you. I had my A45 for 2 great years and have just moved to new C63 S Coupe. A very different car but both are fantastic motors in their own right. There won't be much that will be able to keep with you off the mark to...

    Lost BHP

    One of my employees recently bought a new M140. I had an A45 at the time he took me out for a spin in it, and what struck me, even sat in the passenger seat, was the ultra quick gearchange from the autobox. It had lower end grunt but less higher up in rev range. All in all a very quick and...

    Cheers all! Seems to align with this thread I found on the net... Shift into park/reverse while driving

    Put my mind at ease, C63 reverse select

    Could somebody please reassure me that if I accidentally select reverse from the stalk on the right hand side of the steering column at anything above virtually stationary, the box is not actually going to attempt to go into reverse!? Putting aside what a stupid place for it to go it is, the...

    Today's the day

    6 hours late picking it up, thanks to the horrendous BH traffic around here. OK, Wow. That noise. I hereby state that i will never ever get bored of that!! Only done two shortish trips due to circumstances but I have to say very very impressed so far. Sport+, dink the accelerator, and you can...

    Today's the day

    Over 6 months! after it was ordered, finally getting my new C63 S today. A school kid on Christmas Day springs to mind... Farewell to the mental A45. 30,000 miles of unadulterated fun. I won't miss the lethargic throttle response pulling away from junctions at times or the gearchange delay...

    What is it about 330/335d Drivers?

    Good grief man, take a chill pill and pop your little forum flamethrower back in your holster before you take someone's eye out will you. No need to get all weird and personal with the "you really do have issues" comment now is there? It was merely meant as a bit of a light hearted observation...

    What is it about 330/335d Drivers?

    Think it boils down to petrolheads, like me and presumably most people here, knowing a decent car from a dog (albeit with a bit of subjectivity thrown in) and those that just buy the brand. I've been driving an A45 for the past 2 years and whilst it is a totally inconceivable concept for me to...

    Driver package query

    My C63 Coupe S (on a 2yr business lease) should be arriving in about 3 weeks or so. I've got a couple of questions about the AMG drivers package though. Firstly, that I've understood correctly, I get time on the track at a circuit, in another (not mine) C63? Also, if so, that I could...

    C63s ordered.... I'm back!!!... I think

    I ordered my C63 Coupe S late November last year. Scheduled delivery date 20/04. I was informed about a month ago that the date had moved back to Mid May. I was told there was a part shortage affecting delivery dates of all C63s. Whether or not that was true and if so, whether or not they are...

    A45 AMG buying pointers

    Going for a new c63 coupe s. Can't wait! (although,I am having to unfortunately...). Gearbox sounds like it has been vastly improved in the newer models. Looking forward to having a pan roof as well, I haven't got one on my 45.

    C63s coupe Personal/buisness lease

    That ties in with mine. I ordered right at the end of November, delivery 20th April, pushed out to 11 May. A few weeks back when I got told about the delay, they said all c63s had been put back because of a parts shortage, whether that's true or not, who knows!

    A45 AMG buying pointers

    I'm moving to a c63 after having had my pre-FL A45 for a couple of years. I've got the perf exhaust and very pleased I choose the option, it really helps make the car IMO. It isn't massively obnoxious, only when you want it to be, then it is and some! I went for an Aero as well but that is...

    If you didnt have a Merc what would you drive ??

    I lease every 2 years. It works well for me because I've never been one for sticking with a car for any great period of time (owned over 50 cars in my time). It's not that I necessarily get bored, I just want to try others. This will be the first time ever I have stuck with the same...

    Ok . 63 .AMG ... E Class or C Class ?

    I am new to this forum + new to all C and E class and I must admit, as I await delivery of my new C class, I am surprised at the accolades the E is getting over the C in this thread. I acknowledge that I haven't ever driven an E of any type and also that evidently it IS that bit quicker etc but-...
