One last point - I've never driven a c63 - but I have driven an e55 (which is very comparable in terms of straight-line acceleration) - so I'm sure the c63 is tons of fun to drive as a DD (as I'm sure it would be on the track as well).

But - as long as you're willing to rev the m3 past 3500 rpm - and you have DCT and drive it in D4 - you still have more than enough power for the vast majority of situations and without having to "find the right gear" or shift all the time - so it can, under these circumstances, be a relatively easy or relaxing DD and still be pretty quick at the same time (and again - so would c63, but at much lower rpm). Really does come down to personal preference - I personally like the overall attributes of the M3 compared to the overall attributes of the C63 - which is why I purchased the m3 - no "right or wrong" answer as to which is a better DD...
