After six M cars, making the switch to an AMG....

BimmerPowered · 04-22-2012, 11:40 PM

that's an edition 1 in the picture right? Did you get an edition 1 as well or just ordered up a c63 coupe to your own specs?

justinnum1 · 04-22-2012, 11:49 PM

nice, but those rims look a little small

I knew they were taking it home that day. I'm still in touch with them as they're fanatics so I'm sure you'll be happy with it. I have pics if requested.

EDIT: What dealer did you go to? Sovereign?

I had to do a little convincing with the fiancee but she loves it too. we're both pretty excited to pick it up Friday. I got it from Southampton MB.

Correct, it is the Edition One car. One of 60 I believe.

If I were to get rid of my E92 M3, a matte black C63 AMG Coupe would probably be my top choice to replace it. Congrats

gferil · 04-23-2012, 10:46 AM

Congrats, it's a beautiful and I'm guessing (since I've never ridden/driven one) an amazing car to match! Glad to see some true enthusiasts here, willing to accept a nice car of any brand and not just the typical BMW fanboys that get mad the moment anyone even begins to think about a non BMW automobile.

BrooklynXB7 · 04-23-2012, 11:35 AM

Yeah I actually appreciate that as well. Wasn't sure if I was going to get abused or not. Either way I loved every BMW i've ever had. I just felt personally that it was time to make the switch. I'm sure I will be back again soon. Maybe an X3 or X5 for my fiancee once her Infiniti FX35 lease is up....Who knows?!

wisesoul · 04-23-2012, 12:27 PM

Your dad's car is a freaking monster. M157 is badass, but M156 sounds the best

Beautiful. My buddy just picked up his C63 Couple Black Series in Matte Black. Truely an amazing car. Ive been seeing lots of people slide into the AMGs from M's.

bobblehead · 04-23-2012, 05:48 PM

... until the next gen M3 comes out.

Not likely. It's a great stock motor but isn't an ideal swap candidate by any means. Swaps are usually done with easily tunable motors that can be bought for and upgraded for relatively low cost. The usual suspects are factory turbo motors or LSX motors that can make crazy power with simple bolt-ons. The S65 is a potent motor that can't have big power gains while N/A, a supercharger is expensive, and it's aluminum block takes the turbo possibility out of the question without throwing stupid money at it. If people swap an S85 into their cars, it's for the novelty of it and nothing more.

Everyone should drive the car they want.

Congratulations! Enjoy.

Congrats OP! There will be never be such a fine sounding merc like the 6.2 V8

But don't race your father in law. The new engine in the E63 AMG is just

. To give you a idea, a fellow bimmerpost member posted a video of his new car. CLS 63 AMG with new 5.4TT V8 vs C63 AMG NA 6.2 V8. Both were chip tuned only. Well, look at the difference.

Anyway, congrats man and hope you enjoy ur beautiful car

Nothing beats out the sound of the M156, one of the best engines ever built

AMG family you got there

m3 hoonigan · 04-24-2012, 01:34 PM

i myself have been growing more fond of the c63 design. just wish the fenders are more flared

Bakeme521 · 04-24-2012, 09:49 PM

I hate to say it but that C63 is hideous, esp with those wheels. Although that car may sound and go better, M3 just looks 1242345 times better.
