C 63 AMG,
I'm looking to buy one of the above around 2013/4 and noticed that the MCT option is on some. I wondered if anyone had any thoughts on this transmission and what are the advantages. Also should I be aware of any shearing engine bolts etc! Previously purchased the CLK V6 without knowing about the balance shaft and speed sensors etc!!
 
Just out of interest did any of the camshaft 'issues' that you were unaware of actually materialise during ownership of the CLK ? As for the C63 head bolt issue , it seems there is much talk about it, but actual catastrophic failures seem few and far apart as it was often fixed under warranty.

Hi - Yes the balance shaft/timing issue, left and right banks - £3k+ to repair, speed sensors had to be replaced and the flexplate/torque converter fractured...all in all about £7k in repairs over the past three and a half years - drives well now though!

Possibly why these are becoming more and more rare!
 
Just been out a driven one at the local dealer - epic is the word, definitely awesome and then some! Sport+ mode :)

Get it bought man :thumb:
 
Done the deal...

Very enjoyable drive back through Perthshire this evening. Sunday will be the big one from Glasgow to West Sussex!
Be mindful of the weather - very high winds and plenty of rain are predicted for Sunday. Have a safe trip :thumb:

Thanks, been stormy up here tonight but seems to have settled down a bit. Early start tomorrow, be good to properly get to know the '63 - A lot of car for the money :)

I'm going to replace the tyres, any recommendations? -
I have Conti's on my CLK and they work well but any other suggestions would be welcomed.
 
Looks great. Thanks for sharing. White is my first choice. My last c class was white. Never had a beast like that though

Goodyear eagles for me.
