6.3L = 507 hp
4.0L = 414 hp The engine is 50% greater than BMW S65 and still can't product impressive hp like BMW engine. Not for me.

Haha no. A "regular" C63 Black Series is $125k. You think this will be less?
To everyone saying that's how limited editions should be built. Let me ask you think: Who here is actually going to fork out $120k for an M3? How many times have I heard oh no, the M4 is going to be 80k plus, I'd rather get a 911 for that price. That's what I thought. Can't have it both ways.

Awesome car and actually worthy of the "Special Edition" status. Hopefully it has the blistered rear fenders from the BS to accomadate rubber wider than 295, which is very hard to fit on a standard C63.
Few things regarding some posts in this thread: My brother is on his second C63 (12 Coupe with PP from an 09 Sedan Kleeman K1) and both have been rock solid in terms of reliability. They were never in the shop for anything other than standard, routine maintenance (tires/brakes/oil). "Build it and they will come"... C63BS sold out, CLK63BS sold out, M3 GTS sold out, M3 CRT sold out, 1M (not as pricey, but still a low volume edition) sold out, etc etc. Just because one thinks the majority of people on this forum (already a small sliver of the owners community) wouldn't/couldn't buy one doesn't mean that a real BMW Special Edition for NA wouldn't be a success and sell out as well. Cars like these are not built for value-minded people, they're not performance bargains and they're not intended to be! Different strokes for different folks. I'd also like to point out that the motor is actually 6.2L, and it's more than capable of churning out 100hp/L as evidenced by the SLS BS (631hp from 6.2L). All that being said, I still prefer the driving feel and the transmission of the M3 leaps and bounds over the C63 and wouldn't trade! Last edited by ///Montreal3; 02-01-2013 at 02:37 PM.. |

I have great news for you! Forget this M3 stuff and buy an early S2000 - for a lot less money. Then you can exult in the only thing that really matters to you - power per liter. Just think. You can then thumb your nose at everybody except 458 owners! Cool! Bruce PS - Let me guess. You got this "Power per liter rules" commentary at a cocktail party, right? |
