Just picked my new ride

Done all the paper work yesterday and just picked up my new ride (to me) 2009 C63 then drove it to the body shop right away to get the car repainted in white. The car comes black on black and white looks better on C63 since its a small car, black makes it look even smaller. Now the car is in the body shop and they are getting the headliner removed since i want to get it wrapped in alcantara.


Some parts are on the way for the c63
Kw V3 coilover
CF spoiler
CF front lip
CD mirror cover
X pipe
intake

I decided to keep my E92 until f30 comes out , at that time i will decide rather keep the c63 or get the F30. Also body shop claims that it gonna take 3 weeks to a month to get the paint job done, is that what usually take? I will update pic after the car has been repainted.

sorry,excuse my grammer

Let's be honest here, you're wealthy, right?

Congrats! C63 sounds like it'd be a fun car to drive.

Not that your financial situation really matters, but getting 4k off doesn't mean you got it for cheap...or that you are indeed rich I'm just saying....

Congrats on the new (to you) car, though! I hope you get to enjoy it for a long time!

Is the F30 M3 going to be twin turbo? If so I would wait and get that when it comes out but buy on the second year model.

Somebody has money... Congrats on the car!!!

C63 sounds sexy stock and performs great stock. Will the x-pipe increase performance or will this just increase sound?

3 weeks to a month sounds more like they have a backlog of cars and will only be working on the car sparingly. Did you really only repaint it because the car would look bigger white?

Congrats on the pick up..while I agree a new paint job right after purchasing is kind of silly (And really expensive) to each his own.

This thread makes me laugh. I especially like the post about how you wanted a white one, but it costs more.

For a used car, price varies depends on color. For C class, its no doubt that they look best in white, that's why the resell value is higher.

I duno about USA, but for the used car market in Canada, say for a used E90, the white and black colored ones resell for more $ than other colors.

Not sure if it's any of your business. If he say's doctor what your gonna get into the medical field

You can be rich and not have any material possessions. You can be poor and drive a white C63. Having material possessions and having abundance/richness is different all together.
