C63: sedan vs coupe which is heavier
Some ppl say that the coupe is lighter because it was meant to challange the M3 coupe so its lighter but others point out that the coupe is heavier than the sedan due to the pana glass roof.
So is there any official numbers to quash this?

In the specs, the Coupe is 167lbs heavier than the sedan.
Quoted from here.... http://www.autoblog.com/2011/06/06/2...-drive-review/
"Curiously and rather disappointingly, Mercedes admits the coupe actually weighs more than the sedan. While we had hoped for a bit of loss in the doorectomy process, the C Coupe has inexplicably gained 167 pounds – presumably in part due to the standard moonroof and structural reinforcements, as the coupe is a bit stiffer than its four-door counterpart. Even so, at a little over 3,800 pounds, it's still only about 100 pounds heavier than its Roundel rival."
