Thanks guys.
Much appreciated.
It’s definitely a departure from the M cars in terms of driving dynamics. Tons of grunt. Easily going sideways with traction control on in 3rd gear. Let's just say I have had ALOT of butt-clenching situations when i've put the foot down to take off at traffic lights or take a sneaky gap in front of taxis. With traction control in sport (not even fully off) it’s borderline un-drivable. Had to double-check and make sure I have decent tires and tread (Pilot Sport 4’s all around) because the loss of traction became laughable.
I now see the logic behind some of the guys saying the C43 is better in terms of usable power BUT regardless of logic, reasoning and sensibility, it’s always C63 or nothing
Anyway, as is the custom, I went to see Juvan at Xcede for some power runs. Was pretty hot on the day but the Dyno graph is attached. Still bone stock so the car is looking healthy and I was happy with the outcome.

List of things to do:
1. Replace all badges and emblems with the gloss black options;
2. PSM Design carbon fiber spoiler;
3. Probably software and a catted downpipe once I’ve grown big enough minerals to turn up the heat. I know most guys run straight downpipes but I'm worried I'll wake up the whole complex on startup. I guess we'll see later down the line.
I had a clients CLS63s (attached) for a few weeks and part of the to-do list was software so it entailed some logging and spirited driving and I can definitely believe you when you say borderline un-drivable. Sideways at even quarter throttle sometimes. But the start-up and exhaust note make it all worthwhile!
You have definitely made a great choice in the car and I am sure you will enjoy the V8 more than the M4/3.

It is such a breath of fresh air to see how well they treat the cars. I could not have worked on it better if i did it myself.

Much appreciated. Credit to the previous owner. I was just lucky and patient enough to run into it.
