I just went through the latest photos and I just noticed that the c63 coupe's body will not be just for the c63 (correct me if i'm wrong). The pictures show C300 on the back. Lost right now, Please help!

That's because they only released the C300 pictures yesterday and the C63 won't be revealed until next week

The latest pics are of a regular or non AMG variant.
The C63 variant as already noted is going to be released next week (around Wednesday or so) and should noticeably differ to that C300.
The new C205 coupe model will cover all variants as before with the C204 coupe plus one or 2 extra variants compared with the C204 line up as well as a convertible which will also come in C63 guise - hope that helps

First Impressions
I never in my entire life though I'd say this....but it seriously does have a striking resemblance to the Accord Coupe.
Will have to see the 63S variant to have final thoughts.
But so far.....a bit disappointed.

I'm keeping in mind that this isn't the c63 and as I've already put a small deposit on one I'm also pretty underwhelmed, the rear portion of the car doesn't look proportional like the s coupe does.
I'll reserve judgment till next week.

The C63S sedan disappointed me with its awkward design of the rear, (and its growing list of issues) and the Coupe -so far- is not something that inspires me to drop $80K+.
With the M4 also not meeting my standards, and the RS5 being extremely outdated....I am running out of cars to like.

Rear end is a little...stubby... on the coupe. But once we see the AMG variant, I think people will forgive and forget. There will be other great facets of the car which will attract potential customers. Let's see... couple more days to see what MB has up their sleeves. I am excited because it's going to be a beast.
Hopefully I don't get bashed for this, but I have to give credit to BMW though. I feel the M4 is really one of the best looking coupes...ever. If not for some other issues that bother people, like exhaust note, not being a NA V8, or just being bigger than some people want (some going M2), it really is a great looking car. Front, side, and back are all aggressive just like a sports coupe should be, but with some understated looks present on upscale luxury cars. And when you add the carbon fiber exterior components, it looks pretty menacing and has a lot of road presence.
The M4 I believe is better looking than any previous Audi, Merc, or BMW coupe I have seen of any year (when talking A4/A5, C class or 3/4 series). And definitely looks more elegant than the RC-F.

Thanks! The name actually comes from my dog, Chai, my wife calls him Chai Bear all the time due to his thick coat... And kind of looks like a mini polar bear.

If the 63S is also a disappointment, my love affair with AMG will be near its end.

It was one of the cars on my shortlist but I scratched it off because of the terrible exhaust note. I remember being very disappointed at the time. I don't understand what BMW was thinking when designing the exhaust. AH mein herr lets just make it sound good thru the speakers. They won't be able to tell.

The three things that, IMO, could've made the M4 a huge win would be:
1.) The E92 had a V8, so WTF, BMW, continue offering V8's. I don't care about your stupid "tradition" and straight-6's. (Which I think is really just a cop out to deal with strict emission laws the easy way. Instead of engineering a cleaner V8, they went with a puny *** engine.)
2.) Ditch the lame *** engine sounds via speakers, and spend the time to actually ENGINEER some damn good exhausts.
3.) Don't want a sunroof, or a CF roof. Give me a pano option.
Is that too much to ask? Just THREE things, and the M4 would've been perfect, because it looks solid.

A "puny-***" engine that runs dead even with a C63S? We should all be so unlucky! That being said, a V8 probably would have added $12k to the MSRP of an M4 but no question, the 4.0TT is more desirable, an absolute jewel of an engine. I certainly would be tempted to pay the difference if that were an available option. I have read that MB will replace it across next-gen models (probably from 2017 on), presumably with something smaller and more efficient so yet another victim of emissions and fuel economy requirements. Too bad.
BMW went to considerable lengths to lower the center of gravity in the M4. Adding a large amount of weight to the highest point of the car is just not what most M4 buyers are looking to do, but having a pano roof in this segment works for the prospective C63 buyer. BMW will counter the S Coupe with a Competition Package in the M4 next year and that'll make for a slew of entertaining comparison tests. The one area IMO that the Merc will be still be a clear leader in is the interior. Fantastic choices in the marketplace.
