- Too many "review" videos out there which just say that the engine is powerful.
Living with a Mercedes Benz AMG C63 (W204 M156)
Why are you speaking british ?
Cos I is British innit. Did you see the licence plate? It means Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth the 2nd 🇬🇧. Did you know that she was partly German? So it was an apt plate for that car.
maybe its just me but these old low techs so aesthetic especially with powerful car like this , i rather v8 with 0 screens and touch pads then awkward 2 liter 4 cylinder with lights i hit on accidents
I also got a 2009 palladium silver metallic, bought new, still have. No problem whatever , just maintenance cost. Love it. The lion roaring sound is addicting!
The transmission is designed to shift slowly when it’s cold to prevent premature wear.
Oh dear, it's not 4900lb 😂 , it's 3900, a bit more than the e92 I like that front line in the design you showed us, very cool engineering. A comparison vs the m3 would be good.
Love the vid! I own a c63 507 2013. Brilliant car. Even has the very rare distronic adaptive cruise control
Thank you for your comment. Appreciate it :). All the best with your 507
In NJ, you really need to be going about 20 mph over the speed limit on highways to keep pace with traffic.
Beautiful!
On my W204 2009 C63, all my mirrors dim & there is a setting to have the mirrors turn in when you lock the vehicle, then open back out when you open the door. Also if you leave your keys in the trunk, it won't latch & stay open. Doing an oil change is as easy as having an oil pump with the tube shoved down where the dipstick goes & empty the sump that way. The interior door handles have finger grooves for closing the doors, all 4 have them & my centre console doesn't have a drink compartment, but a compartment with a sliding cover. I don't have any wind noise in the car when i drive, totally quiet besides the engine & exhaust gurgle. 🤭
Very impressed since I stumbled upon this video as I'm looking at buying one of these soon. I really enjoy the blue brake calipers and how clean the car is overall. Why did you end up selling the car and what did you end up buying afterwards?
Thank you! I sold it cos I was commiting a lot of miles in it and it just wasn't the right tool for that. I bought a pickup truck... and a motorcycle! Let me know any questions.
Been looking into this car for a while. Great video mate. Much better then average review as you show what living with this care long term is like. Would you say this car is still good bang for your buck? As you seemed to have few issues with it?
Cheers m8. None of these observations made me dislike the car at all. In fact, I really liked it and I now miss it (it's now sold). In the US, clean and maintained versions like this go for 20-25k at most so big bang for buck!
One thing I missed is that they used the generic W204 seat belt receivers and they sit really low next to the AMG seats so they are pretty hard to find when buckling up.
Thanks for the comment.
You should get the trim taken care of you got two sets of trims going on there in the interior. Either Birdseye, maple or carbon fiber.
Yeah, it was a bit of a mish mash
Nice car. You should upload a driving review. Id like to hear the engine and transmission shifts up and down while it's driving
There is a bit of that at the end of this video...

I have a 2010 C300, not a C63, but still love it. I think the finger grooves on the interior door handle are there to help you close the door, not a place for your hand while driving. I’ve never heard anyone make a comment on the interior door handle on a W204 🙂
Good point!
looking at picking one up here in the next week or two. I've been watching lots of reviews and you hit points that I haven't heard in other videos. How well would you say it does with colder east coast weather and salt in general?
No issues at all. I had no corrosion and the body held up well (and I drove it in ALL weather). Although you should never overheat the engine, it actually does well in the heat too: the radiator is large and there is an oil cooler. I feel like the engine is overbuilt in this sense. When the car got salty I did spray it down with clean water, but I didnt clean it that much and you would not be able to tell.
One weather related thing to look for is delamination on the black roof strips that run from front to back along the car. The sun damages them and the little doors for the roof bar mounting points break. They are not expansive but they are hard to get shipped as they are long.
This car is NOT 4900lbs I don’t know where that extra 1100 lbs came in from but the curb weight is 3800lbs
that makes so much more sense. I knew that had to be off.
Yeah I got that wrong. I read from the sticker on the door. I should have looked that up. Still, for me it's a super heavy car....
@@poorpossum79 true, 3800 is pretty heavy, the car really moves though.
The e92 isn't much lighter at all. Its a porker too. The e92 has fast steering turn in. You need to fit an lsd to the c63 to improve it's driveability
sick!
dimmimg on all mirrors was a option..
Just wondering about the exhaust, is there any modification done to it? It sounds a lot louder than stock
Hi there. The previous owner removed the back cat and put in an x/h pipe. I initially thought it was too loud, but at low revs the car is still quiet.
It’s very light compared to e class
Any chance you have links or the company for Bluetoothing equipment to the audio system?
@@maxhazledine9453 I have the whole setup. Are you interested or do you just want the info?
@@poorpossum79interested in doing the same thing on my W204 - anything you have to help would be great
@@maxhazledine9453 send me your email and I'll send you the details and some pictures. If you want to buy my setup I'll give you a price too.
@@poorpossum79 do you have a TH-cam/business email?
@@poorpossum79 do you have a business or TH-cam email I can send a message to?
🎉
The car is no where near 4900 pounds... Its 3600 pounds 4k with all fluids...
90%of the review talks about NOT relevant things for those interested in a C63...
Thank you for your feedback
Wellome@@poorpossum79 nd thanks fort the video.
The C63 W204:
* Is plenty of torque in all rpm range
* Really nice exhaust sound
* Really fun to drive, especially if you know what you are doing with controls off
* It can be quite dangerous if in inexperienced hands, as it reaches 300km/h
* The suspension can be a little bit harsh depending on the type of road
* Lot of fuel consumption
* Prone to rear tire consumption if you drive little hard
* Gearbox overheat if you drive really hard on track
* Overall reliable engine, with some issues relatively easy to be addressed
* Not so cheap to own, but it is a sports car
I really love to own mine and wish the best for your ownership !
@@danieljunior7821 thanks again. You should know, this video is NOT a review, it's just a collection of interesting things. You can find everything you've written from someone else online. I explicitly avoided that.
