oh and in regards to handling? we let eachother drive eachothers cars a couple times, and the handling on the C63 is "sloppy" compared to my M (and im quoting that from HIS mouth), and its pretty obvious once you grab the steering wheel in the M (which is way thicker) that your driving something that was built for a complete different purpose, and performs at a completely different level than the AMG. The AMG lets the rear end come out way too much and has significantly more body roll than the M - my M3 is comparable to a scalpel as where his AMG is comparable to a butter-knife.
IMHO there is no other practical everyday car that is comparable to the M3 in regards to handling, and this is coming from an unbiased owner - I also have an ML63AMG so dont even pull the "M3 fanboy" line.

So far, you haven't justified your statements. You said the C63 is a handling joke compared to the M3. I personally agree that the M3 is a better back road bandit than the C63, but the C63's handling is far from a joke. Just not as good.
A better handling comparison would be butter knife vs hatchet. Forget scalpel. The M3 is way too big and heavy for that designation.
In regard to practical car and handling, try the CTS-V, or even better, the ugly Porsche sedan.
