New DD! Mercedes C63s-Purchased from Manhattan Motorcars

A few here knew for a while that i sold my Plastic mess-06 a few months ago, and was really looking for something that was comfortable, fast, 4 doors, luxurious, safe, and automatic. I searched high and low and looked at a TON of different cars to find one that fit the bill (M4, M3, Tesla Model S, E63, S550, E400 Coupe, Hellcat Charger, ZL1, etc.. Was very close a few times on a couple M3's/M4's. Ended up buying a very low mile C63s sight unseen from Manhattan Motorcars. I had a great experience dealing with Lee on their team, and car was exactly as described. It was the most expensive car I have purchased, and I was nervous doing it sight unseen, but I was assured the car was MINT and luckily it was!

 

Also came with a few aftermarket add ones which is the reason I purchased this specific car as it was done exactly the way I would have done it, and the factory spec was almost perfect as well (would have preferred one with DISTRONIC)-PARKTRONIC, AMG Performance seats, Panorama Sunroof, Keyless Go, Illuminated Doorsills, Heads Up Display, Carbon Fiber Mirrors, Active LED's, COMAND Navigation, etc.

 

Has 19" HRE Flowform Wheels, and a complete AWE Tuning Switchback exhaust (can switch from quiet to loud). Also had a protective film installed on entire front end and headlights.

 

With the exhaust the car has 522hp and about 540lb ft of torque, but these cars were underrated from factory, so likely has more.

 

More photos soon

You’ll be in AWE of it (thanks Pegs)

:iamwithstupid: :shock: :lol2: :lol2:

 

Need to have my wife or a friend give me a hand with making one.

 

I love how if I leave it comfort with exhaust valves closed, its pretty docile and quiet, and if i have it in sport plus or race, with exhaust valves open, its a very different car. Ive seen vids of it, and it is much better in person..

congrats those are awesome cars. i bought a 2013 C63 P31 to DD as well.

 

I actually like the engine/exhaust sound of your model more (kind of like the e92 m3 sounds much better than the new one)-but the tech in the new one i couldn't pass up.

Very nice. The HRE is much nicer than those dorky stock rims.

 

I may get a sedan as well but leaning towards a new c43 as I want better mpg for daily

 

I thought about c43 too, but since it will be a multipurpose car, and may be awhile until i can buy another weekend car-i went for the jack of all trades.

 

If i had a few lambos in the garage-i would have likely done the same as you :lol2:

Can the exhaust be made to work with the factory switch (assuming you have the performance exhaust with a switch), or do you have to use a separate one? We have a '16 63s as well and while the performance exhaust is better than nothing it's still too quiet IMO for the times you want it louder.

Yes-

 

They have Switchpath (no performance exhaust)-mine

Switchpath (with performance exhaust)-Retains use of switch

Track Edition-loud all the time-no mufflers, but still retains H Pipe valve.

The car is lots of fun, the sound is addictive, enjoy it in the best of health :icon_thumleft:
