In what seems to be a direct response to the BMW M3 Sedan pricing in the US, this is going to be a fierce competition in the coming years, Mercedes Benz has the priced the C63 AMG at.....

Well, you won't believe it- $53,800. Mere coincidence????

Shit. You American's are so lucky. Here in Europe it retails for like 67 000 euro, don't understand why MB are selling it so cheap on the other side of the Atlantic. Just for comparison the S5 starts at $50,500 in the US, so the M3 sedan and C63 are practically a steal! Here the gap between the S5 and C63 is like 16k, significantly bigger. I wonder how Audi is going to deal with that one.

In euro $50k is not a lot of money and is like the_artist said, half of what a C63 cost in Europe. Transatlantic import business anyone???

man i looked it up now..to have it registered and shipped to sweden..including making it so called swedish ( changing the speedo n shit)
it will cost you 500 K kr
thats still about 150 K short of the starting price here in sweden...

I think MB means business with the C63 AMG, it has been hailed as the best AMG ever, and they are definitely going for the kill.
I somehow believe that the pricing will have impact on the M3 sales- we have to wait and see on that one.
Most people here in the US are sold on HP and Torque so I won't be surprised if people start rationalizing along the Price/HP to justify the C63 over the M3.
If I can recall, the C55 AMG was more expensive than the E46 M3.

So M3 and C63 with good price and IS-F and RS4 with expensive prices in the states. Hopefully next RS4 will be cheaper than current RS4 for you americans.


chonkoa, dont you have a M3 on order? if so are you changing to a C63?

One interesting note- the C63 AMG cost less than the C55 AMG.
The C55 AMG had a base price of $54,620 whilst the C63 AMG is starting at $53,800.

Just Me,

I have decided to withdraw from the list. I am seriously contemplating the F10 550i now. My reasons for wanting the M3 are purely emotional and the F10 are purely practical.
So I am going to wait untill next year to see what the F10 will look like before deciding between the M3 and the F10.

Damn, almost looks like MB and BMW are trying to price Lexus out of the market. I can't think of one good reason to get the IS-F over C63 if an automatic 4 door sports sedan is what you are looking for.

PC Valkyrie`says he want a M3 but I wonder if he is still sure about that now when C63 has such "low" price. This must be very tempting for him

The price is annoyinglly cheap for a V8 powered mad Merc,wish i was there.It's cheaper than a loaded C200K elegance they make it here,HOLY S**T!!
