2015 C63S special edition or my current E63S 2014

The stealers are trying to temp me.

My 12 year old son thinks the C63 is "sick ... gotta get it dad"

It is kinda bonkers.

This is my daily driver.

C63 Cons (vs E63S)
Much harder ride, no seat coolers, no dynamic seats (I use the massage all the time ... gettin old and bad back etc etc)

Pros
Bonkers, heads up display, I prefer the new interior. Sounds fn awesome.

Any opinions out there ??

Keep the e63s. Your e63s would be completely bonkers with just a tune and an exhaust/downpipes. it'll also sound a lot better after the exhaust work.

I do however miss my HUD from my RS7 so I know how you feel regarding that.

I just don't like the cla dash with the Ipad tablet thing (nav screen) looking like its stuck on the dash as an afterthought.

Can't mod it ... I'm in New Zealand (no good mod'rs here)

Like my sports exhaust on the Carrera ... being able to toggle obnoxious on and off is a cool feature.

different cars, different purposes. I've tracked the C63S, fantastic for that, the active exhaust is intoxicating. Had the E63S on the same track, also a very capable car.
Given a choice I would still drive off in the E63. Just a better all around car.
Perhaps if I was 25 and single, the C63 would be the ticket.

Everyone to his own taste, but I'd say keep the E63S. To me all new sedan MBs (S&Cs) look insanely ugly from the back. Coupe versions on the other hand - W212 is a looker, has lots of utility/features, sounds great and still - 5.5 vs. 4.0.

Anyhow, you can't take away the awesomeness of E63s in the long run, and trust me - the "new" interior of th C will get old after 2-3 days of the initial "wow-factor". IMO it's more like comparing a classic tuxedo with a fashionable training suit

Thanks for the input ... I'm thinking of leaving it for a week or so and see how I feel after that.
