But, I HAD to check it out just in case you know. It was the only other car I was considering. Now I am more confident with my choice. For me, it will be a better all around car. One that is good around town, but also good at the track. Also, MB's "reliability", espec with electronics, etc. scares me.
On a side note, I almost bought an E55 a few years back...about every owner I talked to loved the car, but added they would DEFINATELY sell it before the warranty expired! That says a lot.
Not trying to bash on the MB's or your choice...just saying it was a factor for me in not purchasing an E55 back then, and also the C63 (let alone that I think the M is a better fit for me).

I generally agree with your points. I personally do prefer the M3 to the C63 that I have test driven. This MB is not a C63 or and E or anything like it, it is custom made and costs easily more than an a freaking F430 and is based on the prior C55 chassis (CLK front C-Class rear) with a very special engine, tranny, suspension, aluminum wide-body, quif diff with SL65 axel, etc..., etc..., and on and on as you may imagine for that price. Sort of like a C DTM AMG really.
