507 edition is the best C63 IMO.

We don't need people like rc here. I've proposed a lifetime ban to the mods.

The 507 edition is basically the 2014 version of my car. The black series is really the one you want.

I find black series to be a bit "too much" with the exception of SLS. C63 with that huge rear wing is just nasty

I agree with most of your points except 2!

I find the technology in the M3 to be more advanced and easier to use. The Command system in C classes are a bit difficult to use and the navigation is pretty bad.

Second would be the engine, the C63 has an engine that suits it perfectly, more of a muscle car vibe. The M3 might have less torque but that is nicely suited for cornering, it is smaller and lighter. The engine has such a smooth torque curve that it does not upset the rear axle when exiting a corner while accelerating. The M3's engine would definitely not match a C63's personality and vice versa. I would say they are dead even when it comes to the engine (just depends on what you use the car for).

I drive a C63 very often and love it, would love to own both ideally!

you have to remember he was after a more drag oritented setup, in that case the c63 wins by a long shot. Its ridiculous amount of tq down low is perfect for that.

Oh yea, the M3 is not a car for drag racing, definitely made for the twisty roads.

We spent the last three years just killing mountain roads in the M. So much fun. In that price range I can't imagine anything better. Unfortunately the mountains grew stale and I can't afford to track it, so for awhile I'm going to concentrate solely on speed. I'm sure when the mods end and drag racing gets old, I'll be back in a bmw. Been watching m4's on Autotrader already

Nice! You got the right car for that

My buddy only has a tune on his and is making 443WHP which I think is crazy. He put down 363WHP before the tune. I wish the M3 made that kind of power off of a tune.

I was surprised at the power of a tune also but it's only because amg detunes the m156 for duty in the c63. The throttle butterflies only open 70-80% to keep hp numbers down so as not to compete with the development/507 package cars. A car like mine that already has that package doesn't get nearly as much from a tune unfortunately.

I just sold my E90 M3 and just recently picked up a 2012 C63 P31 with the factory LSD a few weeks ago. I completely agree with everything you said from the engine, DCT vs MCT, handling, and interior. The only thing I would disagree with is the brakes. I think the P31 brakes are better than the M3 brakes.

I have no regrets selling the M3. The C63 with the P31 package and LSD is an absolute beast. For my driving style the C63 is a better car hands down.

I'm actually following your armytrix/plm header thread over at mbworld. You're the reason I'm going with the armytrix downpipe instead of LTH. I'm a budget modder as well when it comes to engine performance.

Cool, what made you switch? I haven't really pushed the brakes too hard yet so take that part with a grain of salt. Daily driving doesn't feel much different but I haven't really given it a proper testing.

The armytrix/plm combo really woke the car up! I really can't believe no one has tried that setup before considering the price of longtubes. They didn't even pay the thread any attention really. I guess people love their lt's....but hell if I'm paying $3k plus!

i still have (and enjoy) both cars and they have pretty different personality.
the first post sums it up pretty well!

if you aim for a c63 you should definitely look for a car with the optional LSD installed! this car/engine without lsd simply does not work at all... i drove some and it is a pity it cannot bring the power down!

Those wheels look amazing on the m3!

What is the model and spec?
