Even if it was available immediately I would have not taken it. I don't think an extra 25kw is worth 170k.
List price on my car is just over a bar excl extras.
From what I've heard from the different reviews, Mercedes has nailed the exhaust note. I agree with you though that NA will always be best.200ts said:Congrats on the new purchase. I think that there is a big difference between a NA V8 and a charged one, although the new C63 is still a V8 it lacks the sound and will not give you the feeling you would get from the E9X M3 or previous C63.
I had the X5M and although it was a monster, it lacked the tone and throatiness of a NA V8, just my 2c, not trying to spoil your fun.

BMW for me still hasn't managed a car with that spine tingling exhaust note out the factory. Even the e9x didn't sound as nice as the C63... Is it perhaps because of the difference in displacement?
