Re: C63 Coupe 2015
I do like the look of the coupe. Looking forward to the comparisons with the M4. But I can't believe its as heavy as the new BMW 7 series (740i at least).

As of late BMW is really making an effort to make their cars lighter, and its very commendable on their part 
Re: C63 Coupe 2015
We met with a friend in Las Vegas who had a AMG GT S rental. My son asked me where the sound disappeared because we could barely hear the engine. The exhaust sound was really muted (yes, you could hear a V8 but only when standing directly next to it...) and I was wondering how that was possible because I heard a GT S in Germany and it sounded louder (I think). Pretty weird but if this is the new V8 sound, you can forget about it.

Re: C63 Coupe 2015
I really like the new C63, the concept of having a small & discret car with a huge powerful V8 which sounds amazing was already special, but now they nail it with a proper design, this car looks great, I´m sure it must be one of the best toys you can have in the current market to play with.

The "proper sound" may be the real obstacle here... I kind of have the feeling that AMG "tuned down" the exhaust sound on their latest model year. Heard a E63 AMG a few weeks ago and it sounded extremely muted, huge surprise since I already knew the 2014 model. Now that GT S experience...something must be going on at AMG.
