The RS5 may come close to the same weight. The C63 has way more torque, which is an advantage on the street. The rest of the cars I listed are sublime performers.
Again, it comes down to price. A $55K base price makes sense, is in line with past model increases, and is appropriate for the performance gain. It also keeps it out of some of the tougher competition and makes the M3 very attractive.
Mid $60Ks and it would be tough not to get a Porsche.
