Here is an excessively instagrammy potato picture of the thing.

If I weren’t looking for a 3 Series, I would love a Volcano Red SQ5. I drove a Daytona Grey one last summer. It’s an absolute rocket.

Congratulations on the new C63, though. The 507 is my favorite C63 next to the Black Series. You made a good choice.

The freeway offramp near my house goes through a tunnel lined with tile. Much noise will be made on the way home from work.

It sounds like this (not mine, but nearly identical car--actually, mine came from Texas so I suppose it could actually be the same car):

I will fuel your fender flare fetish (and mine, frankly) when it’s done being detailed this afternoon.

Kinja'd!!!

After owning a C300 for 2 years there’s nothing I want more than a C63, especially a 507 edition.

More of a fun fact than a question, but I’ve seen probably 6 or 7 C63 Edition 507's locally (in a town of 120k). I wonder how many they made? MB forums come up empty but I was thinking in the neighborhood of 1200-1500.

I don’t know but I hope so.

Kinja'd!!! "RPM esq." (rpm3)
03/30/2017 at 13:50, STARS: 1

I don’t know. I think the answer is less sedans and more coupes, as 507 coupe production continued into 2015—there’s one at Carmax right now!—while sedan production stopped in late 2013.

Did you ever sell the FJ80? What are you asking for it?

Apparently!

Thanks. Not yet, and now I need to take care of selling my Audi first. But probably $4k-ish.

I’ve never actually seen the 507 sedan, just coupes. Didn’t even know they made a 507 sedan...

Kinja'd!!! "RPM esq." (rpm3)

No. Maybe.

Kinja'd!!! "RPM esq." (rpm3)
03/30/2017 at 14:37, STARS: 1

As far as I can tell there are a lot less of them. The only one I’ve seen in person is the one I bought but I’ve seen a few on these here intertubes.

I think I can fulfill this and Fender Flare Guy’s requests in one go, and will do so later this afternoon.

Sedan or coupe?

Let me know if you need a recommendation for a good mechanic 

Kinja'd!!! "RPM esq." (rpm3)

Sedan. And thanks, know anybody in Seattle...?

Nice! Those are super rare!

I’m only a few hours south of you. But the drive isn’t worth it, Lynwood and Bellevue are both excellent generally, especially when it comes to nicer and rarer cars such as that.

Kinja'd!!! "RPM esq." (rpm3)
03/30/2017 at 15:46, STARS: 0

How about MB of Seattle? Convenient to work...

Kinja'd!!! "AMGtech - now with more recalls!" (amgtech)
03/30/2017 at 15:51, STARS: 1

I’ll ask around. I don’t know anyone there. But I will say it’s generally the other two and my shop battling for top scores in the region.

Kinja'd!!! "RPM esq." (rpm3)
03/30/2017 at 15:56, STARS: 0

Well, with a loaner in the mix Lynnwood wouldn’t be too bad. Thank you!
