Have to agree with you. The last C63 had a monster engine but outside of that it never really appealed to me vs. the E9X M3 where everything was just right but the upcoming C63 is going to be an absolute beast overall.

The F30 is a good car but BMW took the approach where they thought everyone was going to do an incremental change but Mercedes took this to the extreme. Unfortunately for BMW, while their driving dynamics is still better than Mercedes, it's not an E46 or to a lesser extent an E90. The F30 is still dynamic, but soft enough that other manufacturers aren't pulling hairs how to match BMW, the F30 just isn't great dynamically this generation. As this C-Class matures, it'll be interesting to see if there are things that can be tweaked that could at least come close to the 3-Series without breaking the bank. You could make a C-Class more sporty, but you can't make the F30 anywhere close to the C-Class in luxury.
