I have a white one. IMO, the dark colors don't highlight the carbon fiber accents and seem to minimize the flairs. I don't believe people who own them have complained about excesive tire wear but that will depend largely on how you drive. With only 367 BSs in the US, you're not likely to see another very often. Black and silver are most prevelant colors so you shouldn't have much trouble finding one.

The only complaint I have with the car is; it's hard to keep your foot out of it. This thing has the potential to get me in a he!! of a lot of trouble..... It's very entertaining to say the least...

 

Did you decide to keep yours, Chuck?

 

I did. Just put Renntech secondary cat bypass on and have Renntech headers to go on next....

 

Since you're in FL it would be a acceptable dd. Northern streets where they get freeze and thaw is not pleasing to the Black Series.

Mine is a dd here in TX and I think it's magnificent.

I've used 3 sets of tires, the stock Corsa's are a fantastic tire but really expensive. On my second set, I only use them on the track and I have 800 track miles and 1,000 street miles. Just typing that makes me want to stand up and applaud!

First set of street only Corsa's I got about 5k miles which is more than most C63 drivers get. However, their tires don't cost $2,200 for the set.

I'm now using Vredestein Sessanta's on the street and I'm very pleased. I have 5,500 miles and I believe another 2k before the rears are shot.
They cost just inside of $1k for 4 tires! Compare that to the Corsa's.

Since I don't drive that hard on the street, the Sessanta's should wear for another 2 to 3k miles ... I hope.

 

once you picked up the thought of getting a BS
it won`t let you go until it is in your garage

so do yourself a favour and buy one soon

 

I stand corrected. I didn't realize C63 owners were having tire wear issues and since my car only has ~1500 miles I wouldn't have expected tire wear on the BS!

I'm with you on the Vredesteins! Had a set on my 928 GTS and just ordered another set for my SL55! They are a very economical great quality tire.

 

no shit. it is killing me. has for months.

 

It was 4 1/2 months from my first drive until I bought one.
Once they got near my target price it only took a month to find and close.
Be patient, you'll find a white one.

 

Mine was origanlly owned by the guy who owns Foriegn Cars Italia. He put 235 miles on it and sold it to us. We were going to buy a Maserati Gran Turismo from FCI and saw the BS sitting in the back, had them start it up and that was that! No Maser, we had a BS! Never lusted after one and never drove one until we were taking it home........ Can't imagine wanting one and having to wait! GL, I hope you find one soon!

 

Sold one new to a client. Love the car. Comes with Pilot spec tires like the GT3RS, terrible in rain and you need to replace them in 5 or 6K.
