Posting photos of C63
All right, I wanted to see if there is any interest before I took the time to do it.

You can see here the German engineer who yelled at me.

C63S
I have photographs of the next C63 coupe that I took a couple of weeks ago in Rocky Mountain National Park. The car was heavily camouflaged, of course. Given the availability of all the photos posted above, I can't explain why the German engineer was so nervous when he saw me taking the pictures, to the point where he tried to intimidate me into not shooting. Could it be the US version of the AWD S? I was just taking photos for myself and didn't mean to spy, or I could have taken some photos from underneath, looking for half-shafts up front. Anyway, I don't like to be pushed around, so the photos are now fair game - if you want to see them, let me know.

I'd be happy to oblige and dissipate any doubts:
Now, you know that manufacturers do not put the actual wheels/tires on prototypes; sometimes, they are not necessarily the same size until the S2 build, when they finalize dynamics; but in this case, if this is, indeed, next year's model, it may well be.

The only bad thing with this tire size is that it'll be stuck with Continentals, and need to upsize to 295's to fit PSS's, while the sedans get PSS's standard.

BS came with 285's on a 19x9.5" OEM wheel. To go to 295's it needs a minimum 10" wheel. So it all depends if the new C63 Coupe comes with 19x9.5 like the BS, or 19x10 like the CLS63. Not sure why MB chose the minimum wheel width for a 285 tire on the BS.
