Very nice
Can you post a few more pics side on of the alloys ? I’m contemplating changing my black ones for Himalaya Grey

I feel your frustration. Anyone looking for one of these cars will almost certainly be reading this thread and picking up on the issues listed on here over what is a good car and what maybe not quite so good. I guess the dealer is holding out for someone who doesn’t do their research and will buy the car based on it’s rarity.
Keep smiling, the right car is out there and will hopefully drop into view soon

I’m hopeful still despite seeing 7 so far...
Having been to see it once prior I expected he would have fixed the problem which brings his ‘mechanic’ in to question. The more I think about it the more I start to believe it was never touched in the first place and just had some brake cleaner sprayed down and taken on a quick run just prior to me arriving hence it being so hot when I got there.
Never mind..!

Indeed. It was poor work there. I am sure we have had this discussion before.

What tyres are you running on 507's? I am coming to swap the winters out. I am not going to put the set of summers that I got from Mercedes.
Also, anyone running 265's 35 19s on the back?

Yep..! Use to belong to an owner on here...
Now looks like this:
Zoom in...
Think Mr McRae had it on one of his rally courses..
I’ve seen one with the black on the front grill and bumper vents but don’t think the owner was on here , last I heard it was in MB for paint under warranty so may be a different car
Or may be the same car as it had very distinctive bits wrapped in black front and back
Anyone looking for a Fire Opal Red car , the paint should be unmarked and no micro blisters as it’s just been repainted under Warrenty if it is the car I know of. I don’t think it was used as a daily driver either.

How do these 507s compare to a standard C63 in terms of driving experience? Would a standard car with MSL remap and secondary cat delete give the same experience? Just trying to rationalise the large premium the 507s seem to command.
The
more I look at the Lawton Brook car I think I know it. The one in the advert is a different car I believe.
Everyone will tell you an MSL remap and a Quife diff is better money spent, and for most people they will be right. An unmolested “std” C63 is a great car anyway. I’m reliably informed the missing 15% from the bhp 456 to 507 is due to restriction in the throttle body, hence it’s more top end . Bottom line is day to day , unless you’re a total lunatic, you wouldn’t notice the difference. I can’t remember ever hitting the Rev limiter and I’ve owned both and they are very similar to drive.
The difference comes in the 507 being built in limited numbers and therefore rarer. The alloys, bonnet, Alcantara wheel etc do make a significant difference to the look of the 507, hence it is often copied with E Bay stripes and aftermarket 507 alloys. Long term , probably 10 years down the line the 507 will be “the one to have”, especially “bog standard” “unmolested” with a full service history (preferably MB) with a good spec.
Unfortunately finding a well cared for W204 C63 , let alone a 507, that has not been “molested” is already getting harder to find. As most folk aren’t happy with 456 bhp that they can use 10% of the time (at best) and need 510 plus that they can use 1% of the time and get through tyres in under 2000 miles.
Hope that helps
PS if you’re going Re-Map might as well get some flames out of the exhaust for good measure.

Looks like speedster has his car up for sale with a specialist or has sold it to them:
2014 '64 MERCEDES C63 AMG EDITION 507 MCT - 30K - FULL MB HIST - REV CAM - H/K | eBay
I went to view this, nice car but quite a few owners. Has had bodywork down the front drivers wing and blended into the door, unfortunately lacquered over the decals...but is a pretty damn good job if you can live with it.
Also has some splits in the sunroof seals.
A lovely spec though with keyless.

This is my car. After much deliberation, I decided that I am going to sell. Very tough decision and who knows if it's the right one or not, only time will tell, I suppose.
I don't want to polute this fine thread with any sales pitch on the car, but if anyone wants to ask me questions, just PM me.
