This song has an awful lot to do with the surge of M Sport/S Line/AMG youths nowadays. The German car makers probably owe them royalties

Haha I was going to say, it's sadly been in favour with the 'wrong crowd' for a little while. Which is a shame as I think they're great cars but they just suffer a bit of an image problem.
Any of the other '63' models still keep their credibility, E63 is a cool car, I own a CLS63 so obviously thats even cooler haha But the C has got a bad rep from drivers revving the t*ts off them in public places and being found up the chuff of super cars usually in the middle of London.

Unfortunately it happens to most decent coupes sooner or later. The ingredients seem to be.
1) Epic depreciation as it quickly puts it within means of unsavoury types
2) Right "premium" badge.
3) Doesn't change too much between model years or face-lifts i.e. most German cars so they can put a private plate on it and pretend it's new and hence worth a lot more than it is.
4) Has an abundance of power and a loud exhaust
5) Available in all black for the "gangsta" look although white with black wheels is also acceptable but HAS to also have the optional privacy glass fitted or else it gets applied (badly) afterwards by a mate.
6) If neither of the two colours above are available for the right price, it will get wrapped (badly) by the same mate who did the tinted windows (badly) in a variety of colours but it HAS to be in that matt finish that looks like someone forgot to add the lacquer to the paint.
7) The accelerator will then be treated as an on\off switch for maximum acceleration\kangaroo effect every few yards.
8) Will soon end up with mismatched tyres when it inevitably gets a puncture from smashing into curbs etc and it will never be serviced while in it's ownership or at best the mate who did the windows and matt wrap will service it (badly)
9) Will get crashed, get repaired (badly) by the mate who did the windows and wrap then sold to an unscrupulous dealer who will give the mileage a shave, loose what paperwork if any was leftover from the previous owner and then sell it on to the next wrung down of undesirable owner or more likely a PH'er looking for a bargain.
Have I missed anything.
yes his misus will be orange and drive his old X5 or white RR sport ....1) Epic depreciation as it quickly puts it within means of unsavoury types

Innit.
Agreed although these people are like a canary in a coal mine to identify valuable motors of tomorrow. E30 M3, Cosworths, e46 m3 etc
They do us a great service: they identify the next big thing and then trash the population forcing them up in value. I just wish they could be less t
tish whilst doing so

tish whilst doing so I own a C63 coupe, but broadly agree with the OP
I have noticed in west London the C63 (and E63) are generally ragged around, driving at silly speeds on residential roads. Got stuck in traffic a few weeks back and there was a matt black Brabus E63 ahead revving like crazy. I felt guilty by association!
Saloons are now available from about 20k, for that money it must be one of the loudest cars, this attracts a certain demographic: guys with designer tracksuits, facial hair and baseball caps.
It's a little bit like the E36 M3 and E46 M3 in years gone by
I would imagine once prices drop the A45 may become the weapon of choice for the urban rudeboy
