good review thats for the write up

GhostyM · 08-31-2008, 06:43 PM

Thanks.

PaulBailey@ltbmw · 08-31-2008, 06:46 PM

Nice writeup

gonzo · 08-31-2008, 07:03 PM

You saved me some time. I went and looked at the C63 this morning with no one to hassle me. Just walked around them. White/black Dark Gray/black. The more I looked at the gray it seems to show the lines better IMO.

If I can get a deal on one it seems to be the way I am going. I don't track. I drive by myself/women and some business associates and that's it. I will drive them both of course but I want torque on tap and to hear the singing growl.

Good review. I will have mine before you. Na Na.

Here are some opt wheels. Not for me but not bad. The 18's just don't look right to me so 19's and some ceramic tint and it will be good to go.

GhostyM · 08-31-2008, 07:13 PM

I wonder what kind of reps will be out for the car?

Lol.

Thanks for the write up. I drove both the E93 M3 with DCT and the C63 and ultimately decided to go for the C63.

Mine comes in this spring!

UltimateBMW · 08-31-2008, 09:46 PM

One other hidden possible cost will be tires. While the M3 could potentially burn through a pair quite fast, without a LSD the C63 is worse off. Especially if you have a heavy foot and peel out more than occasionally. All that smoke in the picture above doesn't come from nowhere.

I'll agree with most of the points made above though. It's no surprise that the Merc would be a better cruise and relax car.

I personally think the M3 looks better aesthetically though.

Good point.

Both cars look great. I was very pleased with both the exterior and interior when I encountered each car for the first time.

Have you seen the C63 in person?

ChaneRZ · 08-31-2008, 11:47 PM

i'm in love.

Unfortunately, no. I've called up and dropped by MB dealerships in my area from time to time. No luck in getting to see one yet. Last time I tried was about a month ago though, so I should probably give them a ring. Same goes for the IS-F.

I've seen some normal C's on the road. They look nice, but whenever I see one my first response is to think they are E classes. I'm not saying the C63 is a bad looking car, I just prefer the M3. I think it has a overall cleaner look.

just4kickz · 09-01-2008, 12:36 AM

have sat and ridden in the e92 m3 but not the c63... but i'd much rather prefer the c63 when it comes to sedans.

E82tt6 · 09-01-2008, 12:46 AM

I'll have to go test drive a C63... have not had a chance to do so yet.

There are/where two C63's at Park Place down by Love Field. Also, an IS-F on the showroom floor next door at the Lexus store.

The C63 is a tire muncher. My dad had the C43 years ago. If I ever visited and drove that car the tires would spin a little leaving lights. I can only imagine this one. Michelin's on front, Generals on back?

Found a Renntech for sale. 525hp. Not real crazy about the white HRE's. But I would get over it. Where is the neck brace?

Nice car. White on white looks sick.

Thanks for the tip! I'll have to go check it out. Do you know if they are using 1 as a demo car?
