C63 Coupe - New Order!

[andystyler]

Hi all

Just about to put an order in for my 2nd C63!

Currently have the face lifted model (61) saloon in Diamond White, black 19's and black leather, Harman Kardon etc, so this time I'm going for the Coupe.

Had thought about the 507 but not sure about the stickers down the side, the Dinamica micro fibre everywhere and the black louvres (look a bit tacky IMO). Plus it's fast enough as in standard form

So I've gone for

Diamond White Special Metallic Paint
High Gloss Black Trim
+ 19” AMG Multi-Spoke Alloys
+ Harman/Kardon Sound System
+ Designo two tone leather upholstery - Porcelain/Black
+ Lighting Pack
+ Privacy Glass
+ Heated windscreen wash system
+ AMG rear axle limited slip differential lock

Question is do I stick to the LSD, or sack it off? I'm more than used to the car now without it (current one didn't have it) and never track them, but do occasionally have a bit of fun in it, so will I notice/benefit?

See do many mixed reviews regarding the LSD and can't find one anywhere to test....

Also thought about the Leather Dash (not seen it in flesh so hard to judge)?

Any opinions welcome

why get essentially the same car again?

Because you liked the one on which the lease has just come to an end?

There is one house near me that have a 1 C63 saloon, 2 C63 coupe and a CLS parked on the drive.

Can't find anything I prefer over it for similar money, in hind site I should have gone for an initial longer lease, be nice to have the coupe instead I think

Obviously couldn't decide on what colour/body so had them all?! Might as well have gone for the SLS and a saloon

Nail on head

makes sense since lease expiring .. never occured to me that lease might be ending

Had this one part way through a 2 year lease, came up through a guy I know. Thought at the time at least if I don't like it I'm not stuck, plus it was only a 2 week wait. Could extend the lease but for the same money I get a new one to my own spec, so makes sense to swap

Wouldn't bother with the piano trim drives me insane, looks great for 9 seconds once cleaned and then is covered in dust again. Cleaning it produces tiny fine scratches.... Never again!

Love the rest of the spec but think and LSD only really useful for track days and then I think PPP needed for the better brakes.

After 3000 miles I think it's plenty fast enough, but wouldn't say no to a few more ponies

Had a couple of traction control fully off hard drives today and it was epic... Never fail to get bored of the crack changing gear at 100% throttle.

Dreading the end of my lease, but fingers crossed the new C63 will be out then!

Good luck with the purchase!

I have just ordered a c63 507 and spec'd the LSD. It's good value at £1700.

In my experience I previously owned an alpina b5 without a LSD and 500bhp and living in England it's essential.

Mine is September delivery anyone done the amg performance day?

Thanks
Matt

Suprised you don't like the piano trim, I love mine - point taken about the dust element - got any tips for cleaning?

Nice selection and good luck with the second beast!
