Has anyone heard when they will start producing the non S version? I have been waiting for my car to be made for three months and haven't seen anything out there but the C63s.
I took delivery of my 2016 C63 (not S) a few months ago ----- They are producing them but most dealers do not order them for their dealer stock. Generally they must be ordered specially. I ordered mine last August.
BTW, I like it. I am not going to track this car, so the non S version works for me better than the S version does.
The dealership in Honolulu took delivery of one last week of November. They had that one and two S models. The non S came on a Wednesday and I took it that Sunday. Not even the sales guy knew that a non S came in. So I assume that dealerships still receive them.

Have you driven an S version? Can you give us some feedback as to how the ride quality & power is different? I'm sure mine will never see the track either. Thanks!
Did you get the performance seats? How is the ride quality? I'm looking for a daily driver.
Having driven both a regular C63 and C63 S, to answer you previous question, ride quality is the same between the S and non-S. In terms of power delivery, you definitely feel the difference but its not a huge difference. There's a noticeable pause when driving off in comfort in both, but I think that's how the mode has been programmed and not an issue with turbo lag.
The main difference is thanks to the e-diff and dynamic engine mounts in the S. The S to me just felt slightly better to drive, more balanced and rear end felt more grippy too when cornering. Overall the differences are minimal but you can definitely notice them.
The performance seats are great, a bit snug but its a fine balance between comfortable and supportive. Ride quality is good, better than the M3/M4. the suspension is firm (even in comfort) but not overly so and damping is excellent.
