C63S Coupe facelift will not be out in 10-14 months. For the sedan, however, yes 
Also, I have had 0 problems with my C63S Coupe which is from one of the early production builds in 10/16. No creaking, electrical problems, or anything that's been reported on the boards. Remember, this is a very small sample size represented here. In fact, I'd say this forum in particular is dead compared to the amount of C63S activity there is on Instagram...
As for whether it's worth waiting for the facelift, that's personal preference. I waited long enough for the Coupe and had to have it when deliveries started last year. I'm not going to wait another 2-3 years for a Coupe facelift, I'd rather wait it out for the next generation.
It's the same deal with my iPhone... you can either buy the new hotness right now (when it's the most exciting and desirable), or wait for the "S" model the following year which is more of the same, but better. Some people want that, others would rather be on the next-gen cycle to have the new right now, and not the facelift cycle which is just to extend the life of a product until the replacement comes out. Not saying it's not better (because it is), it's just not much "newer" when you know the next update will be a new generation model.
No matter what or when you buy, it will always be outdated within a few years. It's better not to worry and wait - just enjoy it!

What bothers me the most is like those cars well specd are over 100K and where I lives 130K + not only we expect to get the best based on the brand reputation, history and the performance figures also the quality, most issues are not mechanical which means that they are rushing to release these cars! AMG should create a clear platform for their next C63 Coupe because honestly the sedan is not so great in terms of quality and even the power/chassis can take. If they want to lead the market in the sports segment they might need to invest some money and don't rush to convert a 4 door salon to a coupe! AMG done amazing job with the coupe but they cant do much I think most of the flaws are Related to Merc! they need to get their **** together, its a damn electronic for most and some assembly parts... hire new people dunno they have billions they can do this.
Yes this Forum is awesome but not active at least compare to the M one.
We need to renovate it a little and get it advertised more

The current C63 coupe was not derived from the saloon.
They may share the same platform.

Correct. And if you want to get more specific, the C63S Coupe was derived from the C63S Cabriolet with its additional chassis strengthening and bracing. That's part of the reason why the Coupe weighs more than the Sedan.

"That’s not because it’s lighter – oddly, the coupe is actually a fraction heavier than the four-door. Why? Largely because the two-door uses, in the words of AMG boss Tobias Moers, ‘basically a whole new rear suspension’ with a whole lot of extra metalwork around the rear axle, helping make the coupe stiffer and more responsive than the saloon and estate."
