No. They aren't interchangeable as far as i know. I suspect that the "width" of the grill in the sedan isn't as "deep" as the coupe's. As such, the sedan simply can't accommodate the coupe's grill.

Even if you got one of those cheap-ish one of ebay, the big-star grille (I don't know what else to call it) would still look strange because the sedan's design in the front doesn't allow the fins of the big star grille to go as deep back. I think it is for this reason that none of the big tuning firms, brabus, renntech, lorinser, have incorporated the big-star grille into their sedans designs as well.

I bought the coupe grill on ebay for W212 fitment. Having it painted gloss black.
Will have pics up in about a week. FYI They would not confirm fitment on E63 but
it fits fine.

Do you have to remove the bumper in order to change out the grill?

No. Remove top plastic cover piece near latch. Everything else
clips on.

Thanks. This car is amazing. I want one. Saw a silver one drive by yesterday, it looks like a tank and sounds intoxicating. Two blonds were driving it. Needless to say I would have like to show them how to drive

I just don't know what I like more. A C63 or a E63.... they looks both awesome with some mods.
