C63/C63S Coupe Regrets?
I've read very few bad things about the C63/C63S Coupes. Does anyone have ANY regrets after purchasing one, even if it is just a minor issue?
My build will complete production first week in April according to my dealer and delivery by mid May (hopefully no delays occur). I was never able to test drive or even see one in person due to nothing being available within 200 miles of me so I am slightly worried, but everyone's reviews have been mostly good so my hopes are pretty high.
I would love to hear any additional information you guys may have.

I absolutely do not regret my Coupe, but there are aspects of the car which are, frankly, a step behind the 2012 S4 it replaced. My primary issues are the telematics, which completely suck, and the transmission, which slightly sucks.
Could go on a length about everything wrong with how information is displayed in the car. It's old in both concept and execution, but that doesn't affect being able to drive the car. The slush box is well disguised, but it's a slush box and much slower than the S4's DCT. Because of boost lag, transmission freewheeling, and a general unwillingness to go without first downshifting, the car feels slower than it is. The S4, with a supercharger, was always willing and able to go right now.
My final big gripe is the switch gear. It looks pretty, but is stupid in operation. Drivers should never be required to fiddle with a bunch of little identical fiddly switches while driving.
So, I hate the car, right? Nope. I just tend to hold no punches. The interior looks beautiful (at the cost of function), the engine is amazing, the steering is sharp enough, and it has way more oomph than it can put to the ground. I'm even coming to grips with the start/stop. Yes, glad I bought the car, but will be looking hard again at Audi when this one comes up for replacement. Right now, Audi does not have a viable competitor in a small coupe. Did I mention the AMG engine? Me likes it a lot.

Zero regrets for me. The only bad things so far were some dashboard rattles (which the dealership is helping me sort out), faulty exhaust that needed replacing and the fact that some ******* keyed my rear bumper a few weeks ago Also COMAND kinda sucks compared to the competition (I had a BMW before this and iDrive is an excellent system) but you get used to it.
Despite these the car was worth every penny, such a joy to drive, the sound is intoxicating, interior is class-leading and I can't help but admire its looks every time I see it and it's surprisingly usable on a day to day basis. You've made the right choice!
