Honestly, the performance difference between a stock C63s and a stock F80/4 is not even noticeable on the street, it's quite negligible. The V8 sound is on a whole different level of awesome compared to the BMW though.

Don't get me wrong. M4 is close to my top of the list. So is Z06 though. If it was 4 wheel coilovers and 4 seats it would be my top pick. If M4 had better road feel and real exhaust note it would be my top pick. So there's my quandry.

All this Mercedes talk is really nice until you throw them into a corner and realize why you bought a BMW.

Especially the non AMG models.

Mostly. Not when I get into my GL though. I shopped the X7 vs the GL. Lol.

Well, I'm talking about the smaller cars/suvs..

Even up to the S550 vs 750i range (yes I know people don't corner those, but if you do, the 7 feels much better). But even a basic 328i vs C300, you notice the difference instantly.
