Autobahn impressions:
M3 - The reeving is like a poison, so is the engine sound.

C63 - Above 220km/h the C63 is not as stable as the M3, something we arent used from Mercedes. More wind noise from the sidemirrrors than the M3.

- The suspension in C63 is stiffer than the M3. EDC system is very useful.

- In both M3 and C63 we wish the seats could be lowerered, you sit kinda high.

Track impressions (wet and dry):
C63 - Driving in automatic mode feels strange but its working good. No matter what gear you use the power is there. In manual mode we can decide gear on our own but when the reevs gets too high the gearbox change gear on its own, not very effective.

The M3 chassi is more userfriendly than C63 and the steering is more precise.

Conclusion:
As a package the M3 is more complete. And thanks to better suspension ride we prefer the M3. C63 is to harsh for our taste.

Dynotest:
M3 - 13 hp and 30 nm less than BMW claim
C63 - 21 hp and 76 nm less than Mercedes claim

C63 0-100 km/h in 5,2? They did it with the ESP ON?

This carmag is getting bad 0-100km/h almost everytime. When they meassured M3 CSL a couple of years ago they clocked to 5.5 seconds.
The 0-200km/h times are better and more inline with what other carmags are getting though.

Yes that's kinda too.

The M3 just seems to be winning everything. Those 0-100km/h times are a bit odd.

5.2... only in Teknikens Värld.

On the other hand, Swedish magazine 'Automobil' also get a lot of strange results.

"In manual mode we can decide gear on our own but when the reevs gets too high the gearbox change gear on its own, not very effective."

Contrary, to what I've seen and heard and even read in some tests...These guys seem to not know how to drive let alone push a button.

I bet they drive better than you there is a video if you want to study how they drive

Give me a Vespa and I could still drive circles around them no matter what they drive.



Anyways proof to my post (@ 41 seconds):

^^Just_Me, the problem is, Why the F__k would you let it rev up so high that the computer has to decide that you're a dumbass and changes gears for you?
