Some quick observations.

The engine bay of the C63 is gorgeous. Online pictures are simply not representative of how stunning it looks in person. On startup, the exhaust note is out of this world, loud and throaty. I got excited when I first heard the E92 M3 exhaust, but the C63 exhaust note simply blows it away. There really is no comparison.

Maybe my favorite thing about this car (besides the engine) is the seats. The seats are INCREDIBLE! The design, the bolsters, the leather: flawless. Don't get me wrong, they are quite snug, but they feel perfect. Much more aggressive than the ///M's seats. The interior was just simply great overall, I liked the black birdseye maple trim, loved the flat-bottomed steering wheel.

This thing pulls like a locomotive, has gobs of torque, and the V8 engine wail is downright mean.

I now have one on order.
I agree wholeheartedly with your comments. It is pretty amazing. The thing that struck me the most was how much better looking it is in person, both interior and exterior. BTW...I actually like I-Drive, but must admit, the C63 MMI is much more intuitive to use. Both great, just different. The car definitely pulls like a SOB. I can just imagine once you get used to it. The one I was driving was actually the salesman's own car so I had to be a little reserved with it.

When is your build date and where are you located? I may know of another early 2009 build date (as in June 20th). I was able to finally secure a solid June 30th build for a 2009. Thank goodness!!!!

Best of Luck!
