Congrats! Love how the sport seats look in red. I got the same spec, hopefully we get the updated HUD here in the USA, we tend to get shafted quite often with new features.

Thanks Uga. Shots were taken at Canary Wharf (Canada Square) and the side profile one was at New Providence Wharf (just outside Canary)
Introduced her to Central London today, kept her in sport+ a lot to appease the crowds (and myself of course 
)

Local guy nice! Let's get some wheels built for you so that we can slap them on the moment she arrives and have them installed for a proper shoot. Possibly the first C63 Coupe on premium custom forged wheels sounds pretty sweet.

Thought I'd give some impressions of the car having driven it for a few days.
First of all, I freaking love this thing, can't really fault it at all so far.
Looks - Now, beauty is in the eye of the beholder but honestly, the coupe is absolutely stunning from every angle. I can't stop admiring it every time I approach it. The stance, the flared wheel arches, the overall profile of the car, and how much it stands out from the regular C coupe. It's a real looker and head turner in every sense. The interior outdoes every other car in it's class, modern and sporty yet elegant and the quality and finish is excellent. Haven't had any rattles or squeaks either.
Engine/Sound - Same story with it's 4 door counterparts with the 4.0 Biturbo V8, I never experienced the old C63 so can't compare with that but this engine is excellent. Power delivery is smooth, effortless and there is pretty much zero turbo lag. In comfort mode it can take a bit of extra pedal travel to get moving but that's not much of an issue.
The sound it makes is spine-tingling, the exhaust note sounds like rolling thunder and gives me possibly the biggest smiles I have had in my life whenever I start the car and while driving it The signature, deep burble is noticeably more aggressive than the saloon and estate and thanks to the perf. exhuast that can be experienced in whichever driving mode you're in (especially handy since I have to keep it predominantly in comfort for the break-in).
Handling/Dynamics - Another win. Love the way the car rides, body-roll is kept to a minimum. The steering (while light) is quite direct and its easy to point the car exactly where you want it to go. Front and rear grip is superb, the car keeps itself planted but isn't afraid to let the rear slip out when you hammer it, even when that happens it's easily controlled and brought back in-line.
I'm extremely pleased with the suspension, in comfort it has a surprisingly supple and refined ride (easily outdoes it's 4 door siblings and the M4 in this respect), it can get a bit jarring on very poor/bumpy road surfaces but that's to be expected from a sports suspension and the bigger tyres. Even in sport and sport+ the ride is still compliant and bearable despite the extra stiffness.
Tech - I'm a sucker for tech so I'm very pleased with what Mercedes has on offer, I've used and loved the assistance systems in family members merc's so I had to get them in mine, distronic is a life-saver on those motorway journey's.
The HUD is a very cool party trick but is also genuinely useful too. Doesn't disturb the view ahead and shows you everything you need to know (although it would be nice for it to show call and media information like in BMW's).
Coming from a BMW myself I'm a big fan of iDrive, however I'm very pleased with the COMAND system, image quality is great, well animated, relatively easy to navigate once you're used to it and has some nice features, although I will admit iDrive is perhaps a bit more user friendly. Also the burmester system while not the best I've heard is actually quite good, not as bad as the comments on the forums would suggest (I never actually listened to music or radio when I tried the saloon but perhaps it was altered for the coupe).
Refinement/Utility - Wind noise is well isolated but there is quite a bit of road noise from the bigger tyres. My car came with the performance seats and I absolutely love them, they give a perfect balance of comfort and support and they look great too. Rear space and comfort are 'ok', on a short drive it shouldn't be an issue but I had a passenger at the back on my drive from York to London and after a while they were quite uncomfortable so that's something to be aware of.
This car is great as a daily driver. The reason for this is perhaps the best thing about it. It has 2 separate character's that can easily be accessed on the fly. If you want to take it easy, the car can cruise along in comfort with ease, but put your foot down and it becomes an absolute beast 'straight outta affalterbach'. Fuel economy is decent (but none of us who bought this kind of car really cares about that kind of stuff do we ).
Well that's my review, a perfect 10/10 for the C63s coupe from me. Hope you guys liked the read. Feel free to ask about anything I didn't mention.

Thanks Trim. I ordered the Driver assistance which I used on my GLA. Helped a lot on the M25 during stop and go periods. I added the 360 camera and Performance seats.
As you have driven the base C63 coupe, would you say there's any noticeable difference beyond Sport+ , especially the performance exhaust. All I want to do is start the car at 4am

No worries Uga, to be honest I would say that there is extra grunt in all aspects across all modes and including the sound/exhaust note but you'd only really notice if you'd driven both. Either way you'll be very very happy with yours when it arrives!
