E90 M3 v C63 AMG

I'm thinking of going for one of these as my next motor.

So which is better?
Drive, power, maintenance, resale value, etc??

Take it with no responses on an M3 forum that the C63 is better hands down?!

My guess is that most people know how to use Google to search for such obvious things. Try typing this in www.google.com - E90 M3 v C63 AMG

Ahh sorry didn't realise I mistakenly took forums for a place of sharing opinions and experiences... Perhaps not?

Why have forums when u have google!!!

For power you'd go for the c63, but for a all round driving experience and pure drivers car I love the m3,

I have driven both and this is a pretty accurate comparison.

C63 sounds great but the M3 will beat it around a track by a fair bit as it handles better.

Bear in mind that it is a pre-lci M3 and the lci M3 is reported as being quicker.

Test drive both to see for yourself.

If you care about the overall package in which the chassis of a car can handle the powertrain, then pick the M3.

If your excitement is revolved around power, straightline speed, and more spontaneous short runs, pick the C63.

Here's a good comparison:

I believe it comes down to personal preference. Do you like tire-shredding torque? Or do you prefer a more balanced all-arounder? Now... if you want three pedals, that would narrow your choice down to the M3. But both are awesome cars.

I have had two modded E90 M3s and three C63s and much prefer the C63s, they are just EPIC! Saying that a M3 is a superb car and on a twisty road in the right hands there is not much in it, One thing though, the brakes are MUCH better in the C63 : )
