Default C63S Coupe

Ok so I'm sat here looking for my next car and i start speccing up the C63, then i decide i want the coupe, but then i see this option





Am i bad for wanting this colour combo, its kinda like marmite, or should i stick with the edition 1 in white....

How often do you change cars Littleted?
I agree with bannysti - that looks terrible.

every year or 2 years depends on residuals of what I've got really, don't like to throw too much down the pipe...normally I've found its before i need to change the tyres...

Im dreaming though at the moment Urban, id love the C63S but I'm back into the 700 to 900 quid a month cars again, i need to move house first LOL. but who knows

I thought you said you couldn't justify the costs of the A45 PCP agreement and now you're looking at a C63S!!!!

Just sign the papers you tight ****. If you have the cash do it, as you're a long time dead and you never know what's around the corner.... Brexit being one such thing! lol

Just adapt your driving style man.

I'm toying with chopping my C63 for an E63.
Also saloon C63 looks for better than the coupe - IMO

Never liked estate cars personally.
How much **** must you carry around with you to fee the need to own one?

A large breed dog is the ONLY reason my daily is an estate which is a legit reason. Otherwise it's completely empty . Kinda sucks as I'm limited by car choice due to my dog

Although I do think that too many people drive big cars completely unnecessarily.

We got 2 Labradors, 1 kid and another on the way, so im kind of looking/thinking of a fast estate car next, Went out in the old V8 C63 AMG the other day and im in love, the car ticks all the boxes I need in a car, but not sure if a RS4 Avant might be worth looking at too!!

I'd love an RS4 Advant. Definitely go and look at one! I've had saved searches set up for about 6 months now for a late model E39 BMW 540i sport (V8 engine). Only one has appeared for sale but unfortunately it's being sold by a dreamer dealer and they want £12k for it. It's still for sale as well.

My estate is a Saab 9-5 Aero which for the price I paid, is a very good car indeed and reasonably quick.

Had a little play with a 540i about 10 years ago in then my blob WRX(mapped,decat etc 280bhp) and the BMW was pulling away so they are quick cars and im guessing ultra smooth with that big V8!!


One of these is also on the list of fast estates!! saw a couple with more miles for around £15k.
http://www.pistonheads.com/classifie...07/5889853?v=c

Only problem is when you read stuff like this in the advert it puts me off!!!
Throttle actuators (£2000)
• Central Locking module (£500)
• Communication/Navigation Unit (£2500)
• Tailgate wiring and load cover (£1000)

Anything goes wrong you talking expensive fix!! I know the C63 AMG i went out in had a power steering pump problem and cost the best part of £1000 to fix, not like the Jap scrap im used to where its £20-30 and you can fix the problem yourself!!

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure that pump you mention does power steering, ABS & something else which I can't remember.
Either way, still expensive, but I don't think the C63 is too hard on the pocket to run, apart from tyres maybe, it eats rear tyres for fun

I think an on-going comprehensive warranty on these sort of cars is essential. For the sake of £150(?) a month it could potentially save thousands.

A bit high? I wouldn't touch a German car with that many miles with a barge pole, let alone a high performance one.
