Same here. I did not like the fact that my current c350 came with one even though I did not want it.

That was a clear, well written and paragraphed review - well done.

It confirms everything I suspected and even stated in many of my past posts of this vehicle right from the beginning and am now even more keen on acquiring one when the coupe variant becomes available.

Certainly do keep the write ups and informative dialogue coming, it is all well appreciated

Thank you! I appreciate your kind words. I must have read it a hundred times before I posted it! LOL

Well said, good to hear such positive reviews

I don't know what they have figured out but there was some MCT software and hardware updates for MY 2015 (updates shared between the 212, 218, and 205 chassis) and I can say the transmission in my E63 S feels and operates quite differently than the one in my C63 coupe, especially manual shifting which seems much improved IMHO

JPM - I would like your take on the c63 vs c63s. I know you personally ordered a c63s, but I was wondering if you could weigh in on my situation.

My criteria is for daily use no tracking. It will be used year round - snow where I live.

For me, I was leaning towards the c63s, because of the e diff if it made a difference for the winter, but seeing how that may not be the case and the exhaust note. Which seems to be the same in both.

I will be keeping the car not leased - and c63s would be at the top of my budget (still can afford it, assuming it starts low 70 before options) I won't be adding much options either.

But for the 10k difference for a non tracker is it worth the money? I am on the fence, I like the steering wheel in the S, but so far thats the only bonus I can see on non track.

What other cosmetic differences are there?

You are going to want the S. You get a lot for that additional 7-8k. You get 19 inch rims standard. Upgraded interior etc. See order guide link below.

Very Nice, How Much??? (Borat)

Thank you for your review.

I hope the W205 coupe comes out with the pano roof as optional as well as I hate it on my current coupe.

Yup, and I'm waiting for that. Hoping for a wider rear track than the sedan.

Ya I just noticed that lol. Although it's minimal there, while in the BMW thread it seems that everyone is in denial except for maybe 3 or so members.

It was a very good and thorough review, but when you admit to be on the sale team for MB-AMG, you have to expect the responses you are getting.
