M3 still has 4 seats and a sizeable trunk and ground clearance. It all comes down to preference.

I wasn't implying that the M3 isn't a great DD because it is. You are also right that when it comes to cars of this caliber it really IS about personal preference. I would maybe say it like this...
M3 - Very good DD (8/10) with great track type performance (10/10)
C63 - Great DD (10/10) with with very good track performance (8/10)
I had two M3s as DDs and they were great cars and I loved them. The C63 is a more versatile DD and a little more fun outside of a track environment due to its sound, torque and techno gadgets. The M3 still a strong DD but with a bias towards weekend track car and is a little more oriented that way. The high strung, high revving M3 engine is built for track use first and DD duties second IMO. The C63 engine with its low end grunt and significant power has track usage as a secondary consideration IMO. Both are great in either venue but each has a slight edge in one place versus the other.
