BMW M3 or MB C63 AMG
The Audi RS4, despite being 4WD and having an amazing V8, has just aged a little too much. The decision is now down between those two contenders. I had always been an M3 fan, the new C63's beastly 6.2l is an incredible engine though.
How would you choose and why? |
thread needs pics
|
Not that i am bias ;) M3 for sure.
|
Are you buying it new? Either way, I'd stick with the M3.

Already seen it driving here in Germany. |
C63 will be a lot faster in a straight line, guaranteed and i think it'll be faster in the corners too!
but when it comes down to it, how many people here will actually drive either car in the type of "corners" where you will even begin to notice the difference. the only thing that matters is straight line highway/road speed and the C63 definitely wins that. don't forget that some simple ECU tuning will also get the C63 up to the same BHP as the E63/CLS63/CL63 |

The interior on the new C class is pretty laughable, too. Very, very cheap. |
BMW because I simply love that company.
|

|
Buy an Audi R8

Not mentioned, but I love my infiniti m45
|
yeah, thread needs pics, but I am too lazy!
|
the C63 kills the M3
benz really came through this time, its very sporty |
They just reviewed all three together on Top Gear. True it is Top Gear, but good footage of them all.
www.autospies.com has a link to the site with all three segments. Oh and don't get a CSL like someone above said. Well, unless you want to only drive it in the sun on a dry day with absolutely no luxury. Or, forget all of those and get a real sports car. Get in line for an R8. |
i hate bmw drivers they are all twats, on the other hand the M3 is a better gar. go with the m3 :)
|
Get the M3 E90/92, or if you can afford it, the M5 E60.
Just yesterday, the M3 won in comparison to the RS4 and C63 on Top Gear. I can't post the URL due to silly posting restrictions on GFY, but here's the video of the show: www DOT autoblog DOT com/2007/12/24/video-i-top-gear-i-drives-the-m3-c63-and-rs4 |
M3 all the way..
|
|

anyone pushing the E90 M3 isn't doing so based on facts, but rather their own fantasy's.
The C63 is the higher performer, that is fact. I won't even be getting a C63, any C-Class is way below my wants so I'm not even posting this as preferential treatment towards MBZ. In fact I used to own an E46 M3 and it was indeed a great car for its time! |
06 M5's are getting cheap..
Picked this gem up saturday night for 59k with 14k miles on it. http://www.yellowfiber.net/clients/IMG00009.jpg |

Even when you compare the E55 to the M5, or the last gen C55/CLK55 to the E46 M3 it's the same. The M's have always been more raw, lighter and track tuned. The Mercedes make more power, but the chassis & suspension is more geared towards luxury. The new M3 is gonna be nice, can't wait for that. |
Out of those 2 choices I would suggest the M3 for sure. Great bang for your buck!

The C63 was built to be a direct competitor to the E90 M3, and has got it beat in all avenues, but one. I think the E90 M3 is absolutely hot and would love it if it was faster. |

A sequential is basically a manual transmission, (no torque convertor) with an automatic clutch. You basically get a shift as firm as if it were a manual, but much faster than a human OR torque convertor could ever change gears. The SMGs used in M powered BMWs shift faster than the F1 sequential used in Ferraris. As far as I know, no other production car minus true F1 race cars can shift faster. Quote:

i have the strong feeling that the c63 kills the m3

The M3 will win in the looks department though and maybe will end up being faster if they come out with a supercharger or turbo kit for it. The Mercedes 63 engine already has turbos being developed for it so BMW vendors better step it up. The 335i is already faster than the E90 M3 with a simple ECU flash, and I doubt it would be THAT much slower around the track then an M3. We shall see, the numbers will tell all once both are out! |
You have to go with the MERC ... the reign of the M3 has finished.
They lost the game on this one ... they got too cocky and assumed that the M3 was bulletproof and nobody could touch it. Thats how the C63 came and kicked their ass. AMG has created the best car ever ... forget AMG cars of the past. This is a new thing. Here is a great review. By the way ... i test drove this thing here in Dubai ... OH MY GOD!!! Thats all i have to say! http://www.worldcarfans.com/9071221....amg-test-drive http://images.worldcarfans.com/artic...15.Mini10L.jpg http://images.worldcarfans.com/artic...15.Mini13L.jpg :2 cents: |
even the test driver in that pic is smiling lol
|
M3 for sure!!!! :thumbsup
|
Go with the beemer

If i had to choose between those 3, id go for the M3, eventhough it lost ground on the looks department compared to Audi's soon to come A5 / S5. The audi looks amazing, but then again, it lacks in performance with around 100hp less (note: i am NOT talking about the RS4 here) |
If you want an automatic go with the Mercedes. If you want the M3 go with the 6sp version. After 2 years of driving an 03 M3smg I liked the car but not the transmission. The smg was nothing but a pain. On hills at a stop sign it you need an extra foot to keep it from rolling. Under full throttle it slammed so hard It was amazing it actually stayed together.

Then last summer the dealer who i've been buying from for years had a new E55amg that he insisted I test drive. I was amazed at the car. I bought it on the spot and now it's been over a year that I've had it. It hasn't gotten boring at all. Not saying I won't ever go back to BMW for a daily driver but for now they don't offer anything I like better than this AMG.. |
