@@stevejones1318 Let’s be honest here, what owner wouldn’t put the hammer down once in a while? Especially in a naturally aspirated 6.2 V8, with an incredible crescendo at the 7K RPM redline. These engines are designed to get a punishing. That’s not to say I thrash it everytime I drive it, because I don’t. A lot of the time I cruise in it, and ride the wave of torque to get up to speed without going over 4K RPM. However, when an appetising road presents itself, then of course the thunder will be unleashed, that’s what these cars are all about!
I own a 2010 204 C63 saloon car, 5 speed auto. It is a wonderful car to own ,drive etc. I have it serviced by my local MB garage, and it costs approx £600 per year to service, using genuine parts, and professionally trained staff. I think that is superb value for money. Well done MB. Would recommend anyone to buy one of these cult, future classic cars as they are absolutely wonderful machines.
You gotta love that C63 especially Edition 507, it is one of the best cars AMG has ever made. Super car performance and everyday practicality. Last of the 6.2 litre V8 Future classic. Too bad they are so rare.
The 507’s do look phenomenal, I just think they’re too expensive for what they are, most of the differences are cosmetic and can be done to a regular C63, but I suppose you’re driving something a little more exclusive! I would much rather just buy a plain C63 and save £15,000+ as free fuel and modifications 😆
@@NathanMannin Yes there are some cosmetics but there are also many engine upgrades to get from 450 to 507, then there's the LSD, suspension upgrades, etc so if you only want a few of those items, \upgrades it may be cheaper to get a plain c63 and do the upgrades individually. If you get a 507 then you get all the upgrades, plus factory 'warranty' / engineering and the fact that the car is still completely 'stock'.
I haven’t got a W204 C63 but I have got a W212 E63 with the M157 in the same colour of yours and it is fantastic. You’re right, they’re such dual personality. I got 32mpg on a trip from the midlands to Devon today! Keep up the videos of more AMG content.
I love that generation of E class, is that with the 5.5 BiTurbo V8? They’ve got savage power and torque they do, and sound fantastic too!

Great video once again.👍 In the beginning I can relate to the quick release to start the engine, even my w202 is like that! Such a cool car though is the C63!
Hi Nathan, Stevo here from New Zealand, just found your channel, 👍, I currently have an W210 E55, hoping one day to add a C63 to my stable, your reviews are encouraging me. There are a few P30,s for sale here, a beaut 2013 red P30 with only 9000k,s on the clock, going for $69 k NZ dollars! Hope you still have yours, they sound Awesome. Cheerz
Woahhh hello Stevo from New Zealand, I hadn’t realised I had viewers from there! I absolutely love the E55, such a timeless design and masterpiece of an engine, does it have the M113K? I’m glad my content is helping in some way or another. You don’t see many Fire Opal Red C63’s but they look the absolute part, especially with the Performance Package 😁 That’s some super low mileage but equally a high price, would you be using it or just garaging it? I do still have mine, although it does need to go unfortunately. Cheers Stevo!
These cars are great! I’m 4 months into ownership on a W204 saloon and it’s by far the best car I’ve ever owned and probably will ever own…. Like where do you go from this?? I do wonder sometimes…. Not interested in W205 at all
I am so glad you share the same sentiment towards the C63 as I do, I feel the very same and have no idea what could replace it at it’s price point. I do love the W205’s beefy looks and dirty soundtrack, but it doesn’t encapsulate the soul and the feeling of it being an event, like a W204 C63 does! 😁
@@NathanMannin exactly how I feel! I prefer the retro look and feel of the interiors on pre facelifts and face-lifted W204’s along with the old school hydraulic steering feel and that mega 6.2 grumble! The torque from the N/A really surprised me at first, and I really can’t see myself selling this car years down the line. I honestly think Mercedes nailed it with W204 and they will struggle to build a car to match its greatness! Spoke to many W205 owners at shows and most of them are looking at retuning back to the N/A old school C63’s. Just feel like the W205s look a bit tacky on the interior and not very ‘built to last’ with the shiney plastically look along with the random iPad looking screen as an after thought. Anyways great channel and content I’ve watched them all 👍👍👍
@@garybladen7218 I’ve accepted the fact there’s nothing else that can do life like the c63 at its price point. I had to sell up and get a 4x4 for doing a house renovation. Just accepted I’d been lucky to have one - government are determined to price them off the road gradually with the increasing tax so I’m sure we’ll see less and less of them as time goes on 😕
I believe you’ll get one, just owning one even if it’s for a short period is so worth it! It’s funny mention that, I have a video coming this Sunday of the full running costs of my C63 for the past 4 years : )
I'm on my second c63 at the moment & the 1 thing I'll say about it that I don't like, is that the suspension is quite firm all the time. I know that it sporty (ish) & for me it is a sign of getting old but I recently got a diesel accord for a daily & the difference in comfort is just nuts.
@@chris555 That’s interesting to hear, I’ve always found my C63 to ride quite well despite it being an AMG car and on the Multispoke 19” Wheels 🛞 I suppose when you have a car to compliment your C63, like your Accord, then it would be a noticeable difference! I had a Volvo S80 V8 with 17” wheels with FAT sidewalls, it felt like I was gliding through a pillow of clouds, it was so compliant over any bumps, by far the most comfortable car I’ve been in, and the seats in Volvo’s are just like your Grandmothers armchairs 🤣 So jumping back in my C63 did feel like quite a jump in ride comfort, so I understand where you’re coming from. I now own an E85 Z4, which now makes the C63 feel like what the Volvo was 😆
@@NathanMannin that is funny. I have an s2000 so kinda z4 similar but also although it's been in my garage for years :( I know what you mean also, the C63 felt very compliant in comparison. I don't think I want an ultra soft car but just a slightly better setup. Maybe its because both my C63's have been over 70k miles when purchased....who knows? Some KW V3's would be very tasty mod I think but I'd prefer to get them for the s2k 1st. The accord has only diesel & oil spent on it haha
@@chris555 How interesting, both of these sort of cars compliment each other so well! How come your S200 has been off the road for so long? Do you have different wheels to me? Always an option to maybe get 18” wheels on the C63 for better ride comfort, they just don’t look as good in my opinion, I think in the saloon or estate you’d get away with the look though. I miss the days of having a work wagon, where the bare minimum will keep it running for a lifetime 😁
@@NathanMannin The 1st salloon c63 had 17s on it. They looked great. Here is an amateur video I put together just as a memory of it: th-cam.com/video/hzzS-XJ-Ues/w-d-xo.html The one I have now has 19's OEM amg ones with machined lip. S2000 has been off the road so long because I purchased a HKS Supercharger from Japan but have never opened the box. I moved house & a flood delayed my plans. I need to buy clutch, ecu, injectors but just have never had a bit of spare money to buy them just right now. Honestly, get yourself another because this work horse accord is the best thing I ever bought. It is rusty and slow & I hate it at times but whenever I drive my other cars, I appreciate them so much more.
Hello Natan. Love the videos. Dude your last video that showed the pen holder in the glove box and center console, I had no clue about it and ran out to the garage to see if I had it and it does. BTW since I am left hand driver the pen holder is easier to pull out because it's on the right side of center console. The only thing I can not get to work is Tunnel Mode. Dude have you ever had an issue with the driver selector. The other day I hit 52k miles I started my car as usual and for some reason it didn't light up with that little red light and stayed in Comfort mode and no matter how many times I twisted the knob it would go to sport, sport+ etc. However after I parked it for a few hours it came back. BTW about MPG. I drive in Sports+ everytime. so my overall MPG is 10.7 mpg and Average is 9.5 mpg. LOL I don't think I drive it too hard, but some say I drive it like an AMG Test Driver. LOL LOL LOL right now gas is $5.45 per Gallon. LOL I am not disappointed in my MPG as you pointed out if I do want better MPG and leave it in Comfort."C" on the twist dial. LOL LOL LOL Nathan what are the 2014 C63 507 Sedans going for in the UK right now. If you happen to be tracking the prices do you see many with the 255 option?
Thank you! It’s interesting to know they didn’t move the pen holder for right hand drive cars! It’s always fascinating when you find a new feature in the car! 😁 Perhaps try holding the button for longer? I do recall seeing on a forum somewhere it might’ve only been on European cars only, but don’t quote me on that, so if your car isn’t European, then maybe that’s why? I also had that intermittent issue a couple of times where the drive mode selector stops working, I had to leave it a few hours like yourself, and then it started working again. I know a few other C63 owners who’ve had the same problem, it’s just a weird glitch which fixes itself after being off for a while.
@@NathanMannin Cool yeah as soon as that happened with the driver selector I jumped onto the c63 forums and found out other people experienced that too. I guess is just some weird glitch. LOL I already looked up the part number for that part, but after a few hours it worked. :)

@@DKarGarage Ah I apologise, I must’ve misread that! I’ve never encountered light issues, I’ve seen it fog a little in my headlights, but only during winter time and it clears itself.
@@DKarGaragein my parents old w204 c220, it had an issue, where the wires basically burnt out inside of the ecu or something related to that. One morning the car was fine when my mum took it to work, but after the shift, nothing. It had completely conked out. Not sure if it’s an issue across all of the w204 range, but one to look out for 👍🏼
I suppose it’s down to personal opinion, I think the coupe seats look good and how you can adjust the headrest. It’s just the fact they look too similar to the regular coupe seats which is a bit unfortunate. I do still love them though, and they’re extremely comfortable long distance too!
@@bro89174 I think it’s too loud and loses the signature AMG tune unfortunately! Even with my secondary cat and resonator delete, it’s more than loud enough 😆
@@Brati999 I think everyone does! Although I still like pulling the lever to release the handbrake, as it feels like a mechanical way of getting the car underway. I think pure red interior is overpowering from what I’ve seen. But with the two-tone black and red combination, it has the perfect blend of having class, but also lifts the interior to make it feel you’re sat in something special.
@@NathanManninwhat do you get driving it hard? These are one of my dream cars, and a couple months back, I got to sit inside of a white facelift estate, and rev it and it made me the happiest person to live that day 😂
Former Mercedes parts department guy here. Don't. Don't buy anything Euro that's older than 10 years old or you're gonna go very broke trying to keep it alive. Parts, if they're even available anymore, are absurdly expensive. That's all, consider yourselves warned.
I mean I’ve bought numerous cars over 10 years old such as this car, a 955 Cayenne, a Volvo S80 V8, and the parts haven’t been that expensive when sourced from particular places.
Let's be real if it wasn't for the running cost we would all have one

@@DKarGaragein my parents old w204 c220, it had an issue, where the wires basically burnt out inside of the ecu or something related to that. One morning the car was fine when my mum took it to work, but after the shift, nothing. It had completely conked out. Not sure if it’s an issue across all of the w204 range, but one to look out for 👍🏼
I thought these seats look better than the sedan seats. With the adjustable headrest
I suppose it’s down to personal opinion, I think the coupe seats look good and how you can adjust the headrest. It’s just the fact they look too similar to the regular coupe seats which is a bit unfortunate. I do still love them though, and they’re extremely comfortable long distance too!
So how come you’re selling it?
@@Wildy14 Personal circumstances, otherwise I’d keep it forever!
This sounds better with ipe headers and an ipe exhaust 🤤😎
@@bro89174 I think it’s too loud and loses the signature AMG tune unfortunately! Even with my secondary cat and resonator delete, it’s more than loud enough 😆
I prefer a real handbrake. Especially in that kind of car. The red seat are just tacky.
@@Brati999 I think everyone does! Although I still like pulling the lever to release the handbrake, as it feels like a mechanical way of getting the car underway. I think pure red interior is overpowering from what I’ve seen. But with the two-tone black and red combination, it has the perfect blend of having class, but also lifts the interior to make it feel you’re sat in something special.
I average 11mpg. But love it.
@@vinaychauhan7936 Good on you for driving it properly, I don’t think I’ve ever touched 11mpg after a hard drive 😆
@@NathanManninwhat do you get driving it hard? These are one of my dream cars, and a couple months back, I got to sit inside of a white facelift estate, and rev it and it made me the happiest person to live that day 😂
@@Jjm2024-u3t My record so far is 7.3 mpg. 2009 c63 P30
Former Mercedes parts department guy here. Don't. Don't buy anything Euro that's older than 10 years old or you're gonna go very broke trying to keep it alive. Parts, if they're even available anymore, are absurdly expensive. That's all, consider yourselves warned.
Why would parts for this become discontinued? Absolute legend of a car
lol you can't be serious... ever heard of fpc euro? not to mention literally hundreds of aftermarket manufacturer a 10yo benz is practically new
@@MattD-GV he worked for mercedes and yes they do discontinue parts but after market is alive and kicking you'll never have issues with parts
I mean I’ve bought numerous cars over 10 years old such as this car, a 955 Cayenne, a Volvo S80 V8, and the parts haven’t been that expensive when sourced from particular places.
