Very sketchy deductions in my opinion.
Who says the engine has to arrive in the C190 first? That car is slated to get the M178, by the way, which is a higher output version.
We've already heard the M177 confirmed for the W205 "C63" by officials in AMG. To me, at this point there is almost zero chance the car gets the M157. And even if it did, that does not mean it will make 525hp just because that's the lowest output it has been offered in previously.
