C63 BS Makes It's Appearance in Canada!

Cdnrockies · 04-17-2012, 11:25 PM

I was in Calgary today getting the ML ready for lease return and had to stop in to Shadow Tint (great service...highly recommended) to get the window tint removed. I had to do a double take as I entered the office. There was a black C63 Black Series coupe sitting there!

I hadn't realized that it had even got to Canada yet, as my stealership still hadn't provided info that I had requested on it. Apparently, the car is number one of 30 coming to Canada. The owner has done a brief write up about it in his blog.

The car looked amazing in person. The rear carbon fiber diffuser looks amazing and the wide body just screams don't fawk with me.

Nice detail inside with the red stitching and ugraded interior. The car was in for a full matte wrap. Congrats to the new owner!

LOL!

Ummm....yes it is....looked at the car myself in person a few hours ago.

Maybe this will help those challenged with reading comprehension or car knowledge. Notice the Black Series logo next to the AMG?

odd.. all the black series I have seen have this wing/ front end lip and mini lip or whatever awesomeness it is - set up

is this an option? if it is.. and the guy (or anybody else getting a 63 black series) doesn't get it... then IMO - MORON!!!!!!!

don't be a jackass, jackass. - - I am not a Mercedes fan nor know much about the black series. I was going off of what I had seen .. all of which had that wing in the rear and the front lip set up -
If I have made the mistake you could simply point out that black series have a different badge

anyways, thats one beast of a fucking car.

335 oClock · 04-17-2012, 11:47 PM

also.. the ones I have seen have no front side reflectors, as the one in your photo... why is there such a difference between these two black series?

bunnn · 04-17-2012, 11:51 PM

The wing, canards, rear seat delete etc are packages for about $15k ontop of the $116k base price(this applies in Canada). I'm not too sure about the C63 BS not being in Canada yet though, I've seen 2 in the streets and have a personal friends doctor who already took delivery of one.

As for the reflectors, it's the same reason why your car came with one and there's none for the cars in Europe/Asia.

Thanks. Wasn't sure what the price point was as my dealer didn't know previously.

Ironically, the owner of the car apparently has been working on it for an extended period of time (2010 according to his blog) and I was told that he dealt with the flagship dealership in Toronto before our local dealer brought it in. Blog states that it was the first one in Canada, but there are clearly now a few of them out there.

Thanks for the pictures

Agreed....I was glad I was in the 7 and not my IS F.

It carries a presence that doesn't exist with our "regular" cars.

I was chatting with a friend in the industry who mentioned the Canadian C63BS allocation was an invite-only affair and sold pretty quickly.

At first I thought you took the picture and he just left it parked in middle of a lot like that, boss.

Yeah, I saw it at the Toronto Autoshow, they listed the car's base price + track package etc..nice car...but not sure if I'd get it at this price point. What do they mean by flagship dealer? I thought all MB dealers are corporate dealers, but I supposed they might be referring to the one near MB Canada HQ?

I'm not sure. Not familiar at all with the dealerships out East. That was just what was relayed to me at the shop.

Price point is high, but for one of only 30 cars in Canada?....probably not as bad as we initially think.

Price point is high..even if it's 1 of 30. It's only so limited because they are using it as a marketing strategy, imo. Even at 30 cars, I know of 2 that's available for sale right now if you wanted, brand new from dealers. It's hard for a majority of people to swallow a 130k+(loaded) C-class, even for enthusiast.

Interesting?

One of the other discussions that was had at the shop was that the 30 were sort of hand picked by MB and were all accounted for already? Guess this is no different than the rumours that circulated when the LF A was actually released versus what was discussed pre-production.

You obviously have much better info than I have had access to. Thanks for sharing.
