BMW M3 vs. Mercedes C63 amg

[saeedg48]

I say get the 63 if you like straight line speed and don't like to take turns very often. I love my M3 but I don't like the manual transmission as a daily driver. I say get the M3 in DCT (coupe) space gray on red w/t a DCT gearbox.. Then get an exhaust system and an ECU to push more torque.. and you're set.

Clarkson:"What happens when you show it some corners?"

Hampster:"It rolls through the corners like the wheels are on sideways"

So many good quotes from topgear...lol

Ehh, I think I'm a little different compared to other 18 year olds in my area. They're still playing video games while I'm test driving high-performance vehicles

I'm still working on getting appointed with L.I. Carriers, I seriously can't wait to bust my ass and get my car

I had the privelidge of riding shotgun with Mary Posey (Female racecar driver, if you're a carguy then you know of her) while she raced a '69 camaro (I think it was that, I forgot) around a small track at a Goodguys event. It was seriously amazing, exhilarating, and adrenaline inducing. Her skills as a driver are amazing!

At the SEMA auto-show this last year, I also got to ride shotgun with the guys from Bondurant during a promotion event for the Ford Fiesta. That was just amazing, and awe-inspiring. Those guys really know how to handle a car. I plan on also going to their driving school so that I don't kill myself and actually know how to effectively utilize all the performance in a car and fulfill it's potential.

I grew up around cars. My dad was an enthusiast since the early years and has henceforth brought me to every car show since birth.

So yes, I guess I'm a little bit different



1. I will be planning on paying cash for the car, getting into debt is not my plan when just starting out my life.

2. My 'mommy and daddy' are sure as hell not paying for anything else like insurance/maintenance. My dad owned his own corvette at age 19, and his insurance was about $5,000... back then! So I know what to expect. Plus, if he could do it... why not me?

3. I'm assuming I'm paying for my own college at this point, if my parents want to atleast help out... great. I'm transferring out of a community college so I have about 2 years beforehand.

4. I already know of the depreciating value of a new car. That's why I'm also considering buying an old musclecar (retain their value because they are classics, and are hell of alot of fun)... I like the '69 camaro, and '70 cuda. Going on this option could also be considered an investment, as the years go by... the value would also continue to rise as they become more rare and classic.

5. 10-15 Years? Pshh. Too long for me, I'm an ambitious kid and I know that. That's an average number and I'm not average.

6. I'm not starting college til fall, so I have quite a bit of time to work my ass off to be at a point where I could afford a car like this (insurance, maintenance. etc)

7. I know you're giving me advice, I really appreciate it. I just thought I'd tell you a little more about myself before you assumed who, and what kind of person I am.

edit: and hell, I'm 18! I have zero expenses, and no family to support. THIS is the time to own a high performance vehicle and have some fun with it! You're only going to be young once. I don't want to be the old guy who wished he could drive his Porsche 911 turbo the way it ought to be driven.

Thanks



Girls that like you for your car are just wanting to get in your pants because they know your wallet is in there. This thread was meant only to humor myself.

That's not someone who is going to stick around when the going gets tough, and it eventually does at SOME point in your life.

wait are you serious?

But you can never draw that comparison on the MB side. However you previously said the C63 and M3 had the similar power. That would be like arguing the C63 and M3 have similar handling, while the M3 for the most part has put down a better lap time on every track. It's safe to say you have no knowledge on the subject.

Don't worry about the guy. He can't even write a sentence to save his life.

I personally think the C63 looks better than the m3 and the e46 m3 puts the e9x to shame in the looks department.

Trust me, nice cars wont get you girls to bone you (at least not sober ones). Jewelry and accessories will get girls to bone you.

m3 ...i look once at the car and another at the driver. i cant distinguish a c63 from a c300 unless im close enough to see the badge, which i probably wont bother.

wow its only a car. relax, when you hit your 20th birthday youl realize its only a car. every single comparison by professionals who are more knowledgable than me (maybe not you) say the M3 defeats the c63 amg in every single comparison including the looks department. i happen to agree with the pros in the looks department and the M3 handles great. i actually never considered the c63 but the e- amg. thats was just a little too expensive for me.

[bobbyd1961]

how did the c63 amg do in the caddilac cts-v challange? we all know how the M3 sedan did. im not sure it even showed

A big bulge in your pants (no socks allowed) will get more girls than an M3 or C63, heck, even more than 997TT

No, you capitalize the first letter of the word that follows a period.

"which car gets the girls?"

I'd say M3 as well, even a high school kids knows what an M3 is. Like what other said, most of people don't even know there is a C63 out there! in fact, some people don't even know there was C32, C36, C55 exist, but they sure know there's C-Class available.. lol
In this case, M3-1 | C63-0

[Stunnerable]

Hopefully your just trying to get laid and not looking for a long termer. My wife could give a rats ass what some dude is driving. But my ex girlfriends LOVED the Bimmer!

For really cool car chicks.. they'll know the C63 has a 6.2 liter 450hp NA V8 while our cars only lose out 36 hp to that mighty AMG with 2200cc's less. Again.. BMW.
