IMO, the LCI C63's interior is a significant upgrade over the pre-LCI interior. More soft-touch materials, re-designed center stack, re-designed instrument panel and gauges, new steering wheel, new COMAND system, the introduction of the transmission program/throttle mapping selector knob, etc.
And the seats have always been some of the best, if not the best, in class.
But one should only expect a certain level of refinement for the C63, which competed with the likes of the E9X M3, IS-F, etc. The suspension is definitely on the firm side but the damping is excellent. Steering feel and turn-in on the LCI models has been universally and heavily praised. The car has always had a raw feeling to it and that's one of the reasons why it was beloved by so many (including auto. journalists such as Chris Harris and Jeremy Clarkson).
Early reports indicate that the W205 C-Class (W205 C63 included) has a world-class interior and levels of refinement that are on par with the new E and S-Class models.
Should share quite a bit in common with the new AMG GT's interior (the GT and C63 will share the same motor once again):
