I absolutely love everything about c63's, but in my opinion there is ONE thing I wish they would have done differently - and that's to make the rear fenders flare out a bit more. As far as I know they the amg has a wider front track and different/wider fenders (i think?). I sure wish they had made the rear just slightly more aggressive too.

C63
This is a subject that has been discussed over and over again.
Yes, the C63 NEEDS wider rear 1/4 panels.

A CLK63 I saw recently looked fantastic. I thought it was a wide body kit, but I was told it was stock with front and rear fender flares.

I'd still love one like a child even without though.

my wife bananas! :D
agree with the 1/4 rear needing some more aggressiveness.

For me, I would've like the shifting to be faster (also mentioned many times on the forum)... the lag drives me nuts

You mean in manual mode or just in sport/auto in general? How do they shift in comparison to an e55 (for anyone who knows)?

It's because mb cheaped out. The would have to make a new rear door to flare the 4 door rear arches. Easier to do on a coupe. BMW has the same problem with its 4 door M3.

100% correct. The cost to flare the rear wells of a saloon is dramatically more expensive than a coupe. The most cost effective solution is to get a LSD.

That is true but at what price? C63 is a bargain priced performance car so unless MB has found some magical way of manufacturing that has hitherto remained secret, they have to cut the costs against something like an Aston, lambo or Ferrari. Even over here where mine cost $188k it is still a cheap performance car and I accept it for what it is. The best thing for me is the sound. Even in 60kmh traffic I love the sound as it changes gear.
Enjoy it, I do.

FF. W212 E63 M156 non-pano 18" P2 ParkT NightV (gone but will be missed).
The only thing I wish MB would have done different is to have DCT in all AMG cars.
