Hint: I'vw owned both. Both have strengths and weaknesses, however to call the C63 only a straight line machine --especially after MB has addressed the tranny (kinda) and handling-- is a discredit to whoever says it. I was in that camp until I drove a 2012 C63 with the AMG PP.
C63 is a stellar car. I've had one as well. I could not find a Nurburgring time for a DCT M3. Just keep seeing that one from 2007 with a MT M3. It would be cool to see if there is a difference.

8:01 on the ring is pretty great. I agree about switching over to at least 265 tires in the rear.
