Great now it's a MB vs BMW thread

Haha, yeah. Don't you love it

BTW, that C63 has better steering feel is a myth. Most road tests in which both cars were tested at the same time have said M3 has better steering:

Every test??? now you exaggerate. I read several test saying the M3 beats the C63 in those areas.
When you say EVERY test, your just dreaming or havent read many tests at all. Tarek, stop taking the drugs

PS Is it LSD or Weed you taking? I would like to try it, seem like fun

^ Lol @ Andreas

Guys but seriously every test they said that about the M3 being less fun and inert compared to the C63 plus come on Sunny i'm sure u remember the first tests when they said C63 had better steering feel and lastly the infamous comment about the M3 being inert like a normal 3er till u rev it above 5000 rpm then comes the action which isn't really a fun thing to do inside the city.

WE really drifted away from the topic of the thread..

Yes, the initial tests on the M3 was harsh, just becuase they compared to the previous M3. But after spending more time with the M3 , people appreicate the car more. They realized they were wrong

Anyhow, what happen to Ferrari and Aston? We forgot at all about them

We have had many M3 vs C63 debates before so I say we pay attention to the real topic for once

BTW Andreas i didn't mean tests that favored the C63 but tests that just said what i mentioned earlier
