Traded my 14 e63S for a 17 C63 S

Haven't got the C yet, been waiting almost three months and the car is due in in the next week or so. Not sure if I'm going to be satisfied with the C63 after having an E55 and a E63 but I really like the look of a coupe and you can't get an E63 coupe. Anybody here also have both an E and a C care to chime in with an opinion on how the two compare? Am I going to miss the 577 hp in the E? Or does the weight difference equal things out? My 2wd E55 was brutal on rear tires while the awd E63 is quicker and much easier on tires. How bad is it with the C63?

Haven't even seen a E63s yet and looking forward to getting mine. Any opinions offered appreciated.

Fit and finish may not be up to par with the E class but the fun factor is there!

if you have to have a coupe then right on.... I would miss the awd launches and extra room but you're buying the coupe for a different purpose so no worries

most bugs have been worked out of the w205 so you'll be good

It's a fun car, my E55 has a little bit of power so the acceleration is not the same but the noise that it makes even without the Performance exhaust is great. Stock for stock I would love to see both a drag race and a roll race between a W212 E63S vs 2017 C63S Coupe. I think the weight savings that the C has over the much heavier W212 E63S will be very interesting. A couple of guys have posted their stock 1/4 times for the Coupe in the mid 11's @ 120.
