Amazing build! Enjoyed reading through your thread. Not hard to spot the passion.
You can never get out what you've invested in them but hats off to yours.
GLWS!!

If it were a coupe, it'd be gone already.
Truly wish you the best.

Haha. Going to be parting it out. I wanted his interior, primary motive

I'll be making a thread listing parts for sale, but first to go will be Harrop, Harrop BBK, Akrym Full CF rear bumper, and VRS3 front bumper.

Also willing to trade stock wheels plus cash.

He really did a nice job with this car, so it breaks my heart putting it back to stock, but too many cars..

I would get it over the current F8x cars. But I've always thought that the car would look much cleaner without the yellow but I get that it's part of the Edition 1.

I've almost removed all the yellow. It's just too much after about a week.

At least there's no sidemarker delete mod required for this car. Super handsome ride. How does it handle?

Yeah AMG "heavily modified" this for me already which was a big plus. Just a tune and some spacers and wider tires and that's really all I'm going to do. It handles surprisingly well now I'm used to the steering. Better/smoother than the E90 and feels v. Balanced. Not as exciting to drive as the Harrop tho. Sounds so much better than the new M cars, sadly.

looks really good, i'm glad you ditched the yellow. sometimes less is more. i really like how mercedes cars look aesthetically inside and out, but i just can't get used to the interior layout if that makes sense... buttons and placement are weird. i get c300's as loaners when my smart car is in for service and its confusing as hell.

I'm waiting to see the Alfa Romeo Giulia QV in person before I decide on my next car. I was thinking about the C63 as well but a Right Hand drive C63 would mean that the COMAND handwriting thing is on the left and unless you're left handed it's kind of hard to use. Also I really hate that the Gearshifter is a Gearlever on the steering wheel (of course there's more space for cup holder).

A Heads Up display (M3/C63 option) is a must for me after testing one out.

Just no way to quieten it down. But I swear the stock muffler feels more restrictive (anyone have any thoughts on this?). Think I've found a less restrictive solution for an aftermarket muffler that won't drone with my x pipe. Will update later.

Finally pulled the trigger on some seats. Love the Profi XL. I'm 6'5 and they fit me perfectly. May get them reupholstered. And some nice light M blue IND floor mats for a more Motorsport look. Plan on extending this theme very subtly throughout the interior and brake caliper logos.
Do you have any updates videos that show the sound after the exhaust mods evolution beyond your initial supercharger clips? I know you mentioned doing so but not sure if you never did or just never got a chance to upload because you were busy assembling further car porn?

Sad that you had to part with it, but I get it, the C63 is amazing and maybe the successor to your final build but I really feel like the GT350 is the succesor to the e90 M3, which feels crazy to type but so many have said the same, it’s like if bmw has made the f80 a bored and stroked upgraded s65 instead of downsizing with forced induction. It blows my mind how many people put centrifugal turbo-superchargers on m3’s, to me only a positive displacement unit makes sense, even a turbo makes more sense, but centrifugals are the worst of both worlds as far as I’m concerned. Cheap w/high hp numbers sells I guess, but surprising it sells to people who know it changes the power delivery/character of an engine they paid a premium for, the harrop at least preserves that.

The merc. Splits the difference though at least, and good god why is Mercedes killing it in the sound department and nobody can come close somehow. The M5 sounds like trash compared to any turbo v8 merc, it’s amazimg how well they’ve perfected it. In a perfect world I’d love to have seen a c63 with the 6.2 liter and two turbos or a supercharger at least, Although the NA c63 already dwarfed the s65 output wise so idk.
