    Thinking of selling my Brabus C63S

    Not at all definitive, but my last kid has now left for uni. I no longer need a car which can accommodate 3 easily, 4 adequately. An occasional 3 seater, for occasional use, which is mainly a 2 seater, will do. I have some 2 seaters for pure weekend fun. So I am thinking of selling the...

    Dim question about steering AMG modes

    So, having played around with various modes for more than a year on my C63S 205, the only mode in which the steering does not feel overly light and vague is S+ or Race. But can you get the steering response of these modes, without the throttle response, in the individual menu? You can play with...

    Interesting AMGs up at auction

    I thought I would try and create a single thread instead of posting a new one for every interesting AMG, let's see if that works, either way this 300TE 3.4 is certainly interesting. I didn't even know the model existed. https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/1991-mercedes-benz-w124-300te-1

    Brabus B600 v AMG GTS on the autoroute

    A bit of fun today. I was pootling along a nice autoroute in France at around 85mph when a AMG GT came right up my behind. I was overtaking two trucks, and planned to move over after the second one. In a mellow mood, four adults in my Brabus 600 C63S, plus luggage and champagne. Not good enough...

    "The AMG Brabus Collection" in Sturminster Newton

    Surely a case of trademark infringement? These guys call themselves the AMG Brabus Collection and pop up when you search for AMG or Brabus on Pistonheads. They even use imitation logos. They currently have 5 old AMGs in stock. I have never seen a Brabus in stock there...

    CL65 on CC

    CL65, no Reserve, 73k miles, on CC. Currently at £18k. Quite rare things. Better at putting their power down than the equivalent SL. A bit laggy. Exotic feeling and fast as hell when they get going. My impressions, a fabulous car in many ways although I probably wouldn’t buy one at this age (of...

    Well here's an interesting W204 C63 estate on CC

    https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/2009-mercedes-benz-w204-c63-amg-estate-3 Its not one I would bid for myself but it's certainly different and quite fun, if you're a risk taker.

    C63 Black Series on CC

    Nice looking one up at the moment. i remember these being advertised at more than 100k, I wonder what this will go for, it will provide some interesting transparency into actual prices https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/2012-mercedes-benz-c63-amg-black-series-2

    Running in service C63S

    My C63S is going in for its 1000 mile running in oil change tomorrow. Any other items the pros here suggest being looked at/changed? My service dealer is a way from me so I'd rather cover everything. But I guess it's too early for filters or anything else?

    Correct tyre pressures C63S

    I have MPS4Ss on my C63S Cabrio with 19/20s. I am taking the car on a European tour this summer. Can anyone advise on tyre pressures? The change from standard tyres to MPS4Ss always means a bit of optimisation in my experience with my other cars and forum members’ advice has been valuable. They...

    M177 AMG 4.0S engine in Aston DB11

    The V8 engined DB11 uses this engine. I have previously driven V12 DB11s and not been hugely impressed. I just drove a V8 DB11 across Europe and found it a much more rounded car. However as the owner of a AMG with the same engine (albeit tuned in Brabus form) I am amazed that it is the same...

    Thoughts on my C63S vs my 992 C2S

    I am trying to live up to my own promise of not comparing my W204 C63 and W205 C63S on here. But I thought I would share my thoughts on another comparison. In 2020 I bought a 992 C2S, with the aim of it replacing my W204 C63 estate. my elder daughter had gone off to uni so we only needed a two...

    Gearbox program irritating!

    So my new C63S in C transmission mode (which I use around town) changes up at a crazy rate. I'm in 5th gear at around 12 mph and 7th at around 20. It denatures the engine to an extent, as it basically tries to drive itself with a ceiling of around 1200 rpm unless you are pressing on, which you...

    Traction comparison W205 C63 v C63S Brabus 600 cabrio

    I have had my courtesy car C63 saloon and my C63S Brabus 600 simultaneously for the month of January, and done a few back to back drives. One of my misgivings about getting the 600 hp upgrade was about traction. I needn't have worried: with 19/20s on MPS4S tyres, the Brabus has noticeably better...

    Michael Schumacher's C63 estate at auction

    https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/27526/lot/208/ Celebrity ownership aside, it appears to be a fairly average example, with 152,000 kms. The description doesn't specify what exactly the "luxury extras" are. Is it possible to tell from the images? PP? Estimated at up to 100k euros, no reserve.

    Very obscure question about historic ride firmness

    This is a very obscure question but if anyone's view on this matters, it's someone here. Back in the early 1990s when I was a kid, an uncle of mine bought a new W124 220 CE Coupe with Sportline suspension. The facelift had just taken place and I thought the car looked very cool, although kept...

    What's my 2013 C63 Estate worth?

    I have (with great sadness!) promised to sell my fabulous C63 6.2 Estate to a friend. But with recent price trends, it's hard to know what it's worth. I would appreciate views here. 2013 Black/cream 19 inch multi spokes, no other extras 40,000 miles FMB main dealer service history, no extended...
