I love BMW and I also love the Mercedes. I can't help it but observe though
that the test and writeup in more than one occasion has nonsense subjective
(emphasis on subjective) comments and conclusions in it.

Things like "Got to have it", and "Fun to drive" (as if ANY of the 3 cars is
going to be less fun to drive than the other 2). And of course awarding points
for the above along with "Price as tested". Take the nonsense away and the
3 cars start having miniscule difference in the overall total.

Only difference now is that the BMW is without the new and anticipated
gearbox and the Mercedes as tested appears to be without the LSD. Other
than that it appears that the Mercedes is giving BMW a run for its money
and it is blowing its socks off overall in the numbers.

That's my subjective view based on the above test/writeup. I'm still undecided
as to which I will get - the M3 or the C63. But will definitely wait for my
decision until after I have driven both. Peace :-)
