Alright folks. I am looking at these two cars. Aside from the power difference what else is there on the S version that is not available on the non S version? I currently have an F80 M3 sitting at the port in Southern California, but I cannot take delivery because of hold issued by BMW. I have not taken delivery of the vehicle so I believe I still can walk away from the deal. I never signed any purchase agreement. I need 4 doors.

 

C63 S has:

-Electronic diff vs. mechanical
-19" rims vs. 18" rims standard
-active engine and transmission mounts
-503 horsepower and 516 lb-ft. vs. 469 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque
-Race mode

 

(ok folks, i deleted the off topic 'you could have googled' comments)

TangoRed, did you mean the C63s has those features?

 

Yes, thanks. Edited my post.

 

I on the other hand got rid of my response completely since I totally misread what the OP was asking! Doh!

 

I'm assuming the electronic dff refers to an electronically-controlled variable mechanical differential (such as that found on the 458) rather than an electronic non-mechanical differential? Otherwise no sense why the C63 would have a mechanical and the C63S not...

 

Si senor, great clarification

 

get the S !! Its worth it if its in the budget. More special. Rarer.........Race Mode for track time !

 

S owner here, its truly a piece of work.

However, MB sells more C63 S than the base car.

 

If you can, just swing the extra money for the S model, more of everything
