I'm using m C63 coupe as as daily driver. Absolutely love it. As stated above nice and docile when you want it to be and an absolute animal with a tap of the acceleration. A far more rounded car than my previous M3 and easier to use on a daily basis.

^^Completely agree with what the others said 
I just got my C63s Coupe on Thursday, been using it daily since then (to get past break-in period) and all I can say is it's a brilliant car in every way and perfect as a daily driver (and I'm in London where the traffic situation is never on your side).
The best thing is that it has 2 sides to it; on one hand it's easy to drive, the ride quality is excellent across all driving modes (although be aware the coupe has better ride quality/comfort than the saloon) and you can cruise along as you would in any other car, but put your foot down and it becomes an absolute beast

I can echo the above statements. When my wife says she needs something at the grocery store I quickly answer "I can go!!".
Its the ultimate sleeper. Sweet and docile till you push the button and throw it in sport plus and it gets real angry real quick!! It seems that only other enthusiasts realize what your driving. I have gotten many thumbs up from other drivers and few have beckoned me to smash the pedal because they want to hear the exhaust.
I love it!

I agree with all the others. Put the C63s in comfort mode and your grandmother could drive it with no drama. Put the car in Sport+ or race mode and smoke your tires at will. I look forward to driving my C63s every single day.
Of course this does not apply for those who receive significant snowfall unless you are willing to swap tires / wheels ;-)

Miserly mpg, exhibitionist torque (i.e. Q5 TDI)
No, the only downside relevant to daily driving was ride quality. Do you drive exclusively on smooth roads? No problem. But pot holes, pavement divots, half finished highways amidst perpetual road construction -- the harsh ride wore on me after a while, even in comfort mode. Maybe they've ironed out the ride in the new C63, but I recommend you take one for a test drive and seek out some rough pavement to see if it bothers you. The harsh ride -- again at least in the last gen -- is the price you pay for super sharp handling and agility, and it can wear on you in daily driving.

I'm always late to work. I end up taking the longer, scenic route.
It's my daily driver. I've had the car since Feb 2016.. and I just did my 10,000mi Service A.

I've been daily driving my '09 C63 for about 4 years now, I absolutely love it. I'm starting to look at a new (or newer) C63 but I really don't want to get rid of my current beast! Be prepared to replace rear tires every 15K (Michelin Super Sports) but it is well worth it.
