M3 vs C63 AMG
I know this has been done a thousand times but I have a spin on it what would be a better grand touring car. What would you rather go in across the country. I know it's partial since this is a BMW forum but put yourselves in both cars and let me know what you would rather gt in and why.

Not really, especially if you have EDC and DCT. It'll be a very comfortable GT car.

Whichever has more comfortable seats and better ergonomics. I think the E9X ergonomics are better than the C63, and although the C63 seats are more form fitting and body hugging, the M3's are comfortable as well.

have you seen those seats in the C63? I drove in a friends to a concert a house away from my house and I wanted to shoot myself. I'm not trying to bash the Benz but I can tell you that the M3 seats are the best in the business. Even compared to the M6 it's a very very comfortable car.
Don't forget you have more settings to play around with to get it just right in the bimmers.

M3 FTW! Such a comfy car indeed although the longest drive I've done was almost 4 hours however the car is a GT as much as FUN to drive just my two cents. Cheers!

I did a 7 hour road trip in my E92 with my wife and 7 month old baby. Very comfortable car though changing the baby's diaper during stops was quite challenging in the car.

I went from L.A to Houston and back. No back problems in the E92 M3.

Bavaria to Krakow and back over a four day weekend without complaints, with about 6.5 hours each way. Crappy roads in Poland too!
I have never driven a C63, but I have no complaints with my M3.

I have back problems, and I don't get back pains from driving the M
I did in my 335i (coils stiffest setting with sways...no duh), I do in the Z4, and I do in all the Porsches But I don't in a C63 Though it does hug me too much ... maybe I need to lose some weight I think the m3 is very comfortable, and with the ability to put it into Sport and tighten the seats, it's golden. I do wish the M3 had those fill in seats that the E63 has though

My opinion about the M3, never drove a C63. Made a trip of 5000km Bucharest to Paris and back. On the way back I made 1200km per day. 2400km in 2 days. I stayed in the car 8-9 hours, stop only for gas. I found the M3 very comfortable for trips like this, even my girlfriend did not complain about the ride quality. I am very pleased with long trips in this car. Also in Romania I made some one day road trips 600 -700 km in the same day, and the roads here are really crappy on some portions and it preformed very well. I really enjoy taking trips in this car.

I'd need to be the driver and do a long road trip in both to know for sure! I've only been a passenger in a C63 but tbh from that limited experience I can't differentiate which would be more comfortable for a long road trip. The C63 can adjust its side bolster just as the M3 can....

Good topic. I am interested in the comforts of long term usage, between the C63 and M3 sedan. I am up for a new car later this year, after buying my wife a new car for Christmas. You don't get a good feel for the comfort in the long term with a test drive.
