The E series sedans, of which the E63 AMG is one, are not the same chassis as the E series coupes/cabs. The sedans are wider and longer. The coupes/cabs are built on a somewhat modified C series chassis. I don't know if they are exactly the same dimensions, but they are certainly closer than the sedans are. So you may have a better chance looking at a C63 AMG, of which I believe 2010 was the first model year.
There are several aftermarket manufacturers who advertise on mbworld. Some offer mods specifically for the E coupes/cabs. That would probably be your best bet.
Perhaps someone more knowledgeable than I will chime in here too.

I guess if I were strictly looking for performance the C63 AMG would be the winner. I just can't get past the fact that those C coupes always remind me of Honda coupes. Of course, the AMG version might make me forget that.
Although not an AMG, the E550 coupes are absolute beasts too. I've seen very few complaints from E550 drivers here about performance. And I like the pillar-less design of the side windows and the E550's interior and some of its controls better than the C's, at least in the 2012 models. If I wasn't happy with the front end look, I'd check the aftermarket suppliers. There are less conservative looking mods out there.
Anyway, I'd take the E550 over all that C63 power, if it were me. But if I were 20 years younger.............
Good luck with your choice.

My current cars are the c250 coupe along with the bwm z4 am in process of trading the c250 for something more powerful ,am more drawn to the 2012 e550 coupe because of the BiTurbo engine , ( easy tuned ) to make the same power as the amgs but I can't get pass how aggressive the c63 sounds !
Ur right the c class coupes looks like the Honda accord coupe
Since I already have a c class for 2 years maybe I'll go with the e class Not sure.

I have E63 18" wheels and side emblems for "v8 bi-turbo"
I need a slight drop and have the tune that brings power to base E63 level.
Forget the fenders.. they are not needed once you switch the wheels.
Adding a downpipe in next few months.. and then I'll decide if should keep or continue to look for a 2012 E63 4 door.

I just want to create something different if the fenders fit I'll put them on the car ,
I have never seen a mod e550 in my area so I'll be the first to do it
Ur car looks really good man I like wheels
Wat are the number after the ecu tuned
I know Renntech have a tuned that will give u 530 hp an 606 tq
Do u think if I get the ecu tuned headers Downpipe an exhaust I'll be faster then the stock c63 ?
