You can get the coupe with 19's all around. Actually a shorter tire if that is chosen. 285/30-19 vs 265/35-19.

Do coupes with standard 19" wheels come with the shorter rear end, or do they come with the sedan's rear end?

Unfortunately in Australia we don't get the non S option. We get the S only.

You misunderstood what I said.

I asked if a Coupe that has the standard 19" wheels has the shorter gearing or if it has the higher gearing from the sedan.

And the rear end in the sedan is 2.82:1.

I did not misunderstand what you said. I have no information on that. I gave you what I had.

I was quoting car and driver, "Engineers in Affalterbach gifted the coupe a shorter final-drive ratio—3.06:1 in the two-door versus 2.85:1 in the sedan—for quicker acceleration. "

the active mounts change the damping for the different engine settings, plus in race mode and s+ they actually turn the engine by up to 2.5 degrees into and out of a turn.

Cosmetically, the air intake vane is painted to match the color of the car on the non-s model. S model is black with silver trim or all black for the night package.

As stated by See63esS ALL C205 C63 coupe variants have the shorter final drive ratio regardless of other fitted options.

And, surely 503 HP


>>Also, I talk myself out of it everyday! Current owner of a BMW F10-535ix... I can't decide between an M4 or a C63S

If you are going to lease one of them, M4 has way better lease deal. C63S Coupe is about the same lease deal as M5 and M6 because the residual rate sucks as hell.

Leasing BMW is better but be sure to acknowledge all of the recent changes to their programs. No more MSDs and I believe the free maintenance program has gone through some major changes. I believe other changes are on the horizon.
