I know its not BMW, but

I traded my old C63 2013, for the new twin turbo C63S edition 1.

Don't worry still got my E92 M3.

No fucking way! Can you please give an in depth review between the two or just the c63 on its own? That car is definitely on my radar when I need a 4 door. That or a much cheaper gla 45. Don't skimp out or worrying about ranting. Let's hear it!
And your poor m3 is so neglected and dirty! I'm in your neck of the woods let me know if you ever want to meet up for a photoshoot. Edition 1's are pretty damn rare and boy racer, which is exactly my cup of tea. I'll have my lady detail it in exchange for a drive.

First impression over the new C63 that it is QUICK. The turbo builds up super quick and once it reaches boost it accelerates like a mo****ker. Same feel in torque as the new M5/M6 but with better exhaust note. Torque is pretty much instant.

Gas mileage I would say is a little better than previous generation, but still shit. Probably average 12-13MPG on a good day.

Appearance. It is a hit or miss at certain angles. I still prefer last generation body style, a bit more aggressive as to this one kind of mellow. From the rear view mirror with this car behind it still commands authority and is pretty menacing don't get me wrong, but still a bit less aggressive than prev. gen.

Interior. BIG improvement, the leather is now Nappa, I believe its the same leather used in our M3 so very soft and supple. Seats are more thin (I got the buckets) so more leg room in the back.

Steering feel. Not quiet as solid as I would like. It is electric steering so thats a big turn down for me. I prefer hydraulic steering (road feel) though it is pretty damn accurate.

Transmission. This one is the deal breaker for me. Its not a true dual clutch like they've mentioned, but its pretty damn identical in speed as far as downshifts and upshifts. It is a major improvement over the last Merc Speed Shift. No lag, and instant blips. Works best in race mode of course.

Exhaust Note. This one will be a tough one. Some days I enjoy the subtle sound of the exhaust note, some days I miss the old M156 paired with its Amg exhaust. The old exhaust note was definitely more "aggressive" and loud. This one is more muffled with a lot of bang and booms (from the turbos)

Congrats. How is traction at wot in the lower gears for the C? I found the f80 m3/4 was pretty poor in that regard.

I agree the red stripes and silver caps are a bit over done. That being said, its not for everyone. My wife likes it, and its her car, so I guess thats all that matters

Nice! wonder if they sell them separately. Would be a nice first mod

Also wish all the chrome was body color or black. =/

those AMG rims are pretty cool.

I think the 4.0L V8 is WAY better than any M engine out today.

although i do think the M cars in general look better exterior styling.

I hate how its such a struggle for car makers to create the perfect car anymore.

give me the 4.0L engine + rims, with the F80 DCT and looks. for F shake!

Uatta fu*kin piece of art!!!!! Nice color, nice accents, nice read stitching, .....I'm not too of a fan of those black stickers, but it's nothing. I'm a big fan of MB and C63s by far my favorite!!!!! Congrats and enjoy it. We need more pics. By far better than watching hot girls, well... Maybe not that much!!!! Lol

This is a gorgeous pair you have bro! A guy at my office drives a C63 AMG as well, and we park next to each other daily (and a Bentley on the other side, not sure how I ended up with the middle spot). #nodoordings

as already noted by op, the interior is sick. very high class. i felt Merc lacked big time on this in the previous gen.


but the exterior is just awful. after my FL c63, there will not be another c63 to follow.

Not so sure if I agree with that. As far as looks are concerned the F80 looks much better. Lines are much more defined. But, that's just my opinion.

But again, for some the C63 is the way to go, and I totally respect that.

Nice car, I am getting rid of my 2011 C63 AMG for a E92 M3 (2012). Didn't want to go the W205 route because I am not sold on the looks. Congrats on the purchase, I am sure you will enjoy it.
