Great purchase!!! Only worth one of the watches in the collection.....huge high five for your wife!!

This is a fun car, I had a 2008 C63, one of the first in Canada at the time, that car was a blast. The sound that 6.2V8 made was better than most American muscle cars!

I should likely know this, but I don’t. My only criteria when looking was the right options and black, silver, dark blue, or white. The sticker says extracamapanario - non standard. Which I’m guessing is similar to PTS with Porsche.

I find it odd to do a non standard white…because…well, it’s white. But whoever built this went bonkers. It’s one of the highest stickers possible apparently. A buddy that owns an exotic boutique dealer thought I was off by 100k when I originally told him. It’s apparently got every bit of carbon possible and a bunch of other goodies I’d never think to add.

I’ll ask my sales guy today. Maybe it’s a common white. But that’s what the sticker says, so I just don’t know.

^^^

Also, I’m debating stealth ppf. Because I love stealth. But this came with clear on the front. And I’m loving the color so far. So I guess I’ll wait and see.

Never had white before. Never cared much for it. But the last few years the white on black combo has really begun to appeal to me.

I have always loved contrast which is why I like silver so much. So I’m anticipating that I’ll love this too.

I had an S6 prior to this car and no issues with squeaking. Did a bit of research and looks like you can get Brembo Ceramic Pads for pretty cheap and this will fix the issue. Some say they are great and others say the brake dust is horrible on Brembo.
Anyone have any advise or info on this?

Can’t speak to the Audi but I’ve had two bmw M5s and they both do that and I couldn’t stand it. Embarrassing, really. I had to get a new car both times
Also, sadly, those weren’t good investments either

If it’s extracampanario it’s definitely not avus. Could be cervino or maybe even Italia or Fuji if it’s metallic which would be AWESOME

Good is not a strong enough adjective. Amazing might not be either. Love it.

It is embarrassing. I get "looks" when I pull up to a crosswalk. People think I'm going to hit them because of the squeaking. I've tried to get rid of it but it's a lease and I'm too upside down to get out of it.

Couple more pics. Taken by my buddy who received it for me.

He’s out now ripping it up a bit. Glad someone is enjoying it.

A little photoshop fun. Definitely the stormtrooper vibe :)
