Another killer test..
Read this..
Its like hell freezing.. a couple of months back you would be laughed at if you thought these words would be said about an AMG.. aswell as an M3.. If you're considering the C63 then you'll probably have BMW's M3 on your shortlist, and maybe a secondhand Audi RS4 too. And it'll be hard to make this choice because they're all superb. C63 highpoints include the aural drama and thunderous thrust of its V8, and deeply satisfying handling that allows you to vault from point to point without slowing down all that much to tackle the twisty bits in-between. Its steering is better than the BMW's, and like the M3 it's rear-wheel drive with a two-stage switchable ESP (skid containment can be reduced or removed altogether) allowing you to indulge in drifts that simply aren't possible in the four-wheel drive Audi, though that offers the security of superb all-weather traction as a counterpoint. Like the Audi, the Mercedes is available as both saloon and estate, and has the practicality of four doors too, though some may prefer the sportier two-door Coupe BMW. Door-count apart, M3 is also the easiest to live with of these three because it rides better - much better than the Benz - and has a less intrusive exhaust at low revs. It, too, is a great entertainer. Truth is, there's little to separate this trio beyond a personal test drive. But the point is that this C63 is on a par with this pair, and more than worthy of garage space. If you can bear the ride, and afford the fuel, it makes for an intoxicating drive, over distances long and short.

I think this is the second review stating that M3 is easier to live with than C63.
What is AMS going to do now when their favorite brand gone hard while M3 gone soft?  | | | | | GCZ's High Court
