Ths C63 has gain much more recognition in the past few years for its amazing performance over the M class BMW's and other cars in its class. This has slowed its already horrible depreciation a bit. I'm not saying its not going to drop faster than the average car, but it has gotten better.
A dealer bought my 2009 with 12K miles on it for 50K. Put it on its lot for 55K 2 weeks later. Sold it for 54K.
Considering I bought the 2009 for 52K I lost 2K in 12K miles.
I bought my 2010 for 54K. If you paid full price for a C63 then yes. Your Fed! Ill agree with that.
I know you want the C63 to bottom out to feel better about your personal purchase decision but its really not as bad as you make it seem. The CTSV coupes didn't see a big drop in resale due to the coupes coming out. The M3 coupes didn't see a big drop of sales when the Sedans came out. Its two complete different optioned cars. Most people in the market for a C63 have families and require the 4 door. Lets face it, after the age of 21, unless you bought the car as a toy, 2 door cars suck.
Im sure it will be fine and no need to get Henny Penny over it.

I dont see them saving 300lbs with a coupe unless its designed to be a "lightweight" model. And yes, welcome additional devaluation - between coupes, new motors, facelifts, minor tweaks (led fogs, side mirrors, media interface plus, etc) and the normal AMG drop-like-a-rock values...if you are concerned with resale better get out now, it's not going to get any better!
If you always worry that the next model in the line up will devalue what you own and want to wait for the next model.. well, you will wait forever, because eventually, the next model will have something to replace it..
So just get what you want now, and worry about depreciation later.. unless your buying a car for an investment, in which case.. I have a bridge to sell you
