Yikes the improvements sounds good on paper... except... that the dealbreaker is the sound got worse, that is a huge part of the experience.

I ha my car in to the dealer several weeks ago now to see why I cannot connect to the Sirius receiver. They said I either need a new head unit or they can try a "big" update which usually fixes it.
They said it takes about 4 hours to do.
Long story short they did the update but the Sirius still did not work, so I just use it off my phone via Bluetooth. My point is my car (2019 C63S) did not ever do the popping that I've heard andread others does. Wondering why.
The throttle does seem a little more crisper though.

Skip to 1:50 to hear the AMG... THIS is how your car should sound like... Note, this is completely stock. Not even a K&N filter or similar.

The FL have reduced pops, particularly below 4000 rpm and when driven moderately. This was largely driven by noise regulations in Europe. Interestingly, they have managed to bring some of the pops back in newer models. For example below is me driving the new GT 63 in Germany last month. Now keep in mind, this car is a lot louder inside than outside. Most of what you hear in the cabin is essentially picked up by microphones in the exhaust and pumped in through the speakers. It's actually rather loud inside and both my co-driver and I commented that this would get tiring on longer drives. The FL do pop if you drive them in anger and keep the revs above 4000. I actually like it that way. It's much more authentic and tied to how I drive instead of just pop & banging for no good reason, but to each their own. I find the FL sounds better in general. More of an authentic V8 sound, but others prefer the PFL.

I have the opposite.
Prior to the update my car will not pop or crackle at all.
I now get multiple crackles and pops (in neutral) constantly, and I've driven only 25 miles since the update.
It's a very different car now, my 2019 will crackle and pop twice or so then stop.
It reminds me of my 2017 PFL , the only difference is the muffled sound due to the GPF in the FL

Try lifting your foot off the gas very quickly after a very good rev, you have to be very aggressive with the throttle. I hope it works out for you.
