2012 C63 coupe
My new C63 meets my "old" M3

I was driving home from work today and noticed my old 2011 E92 M3 was in the parking lot at the Mercedes dealership. I had to pull in and do a little photo shoot (only BB quality though ) of the two cars together.

My C63 was at a disadvantage looks wise as it has the 18" winter wheels on and the M3 has its 19" summer shoes. I have to admit, the M3 is a nice looking car and very aggressive looking... the C63 sounds and acts aggressive

I dunno, I think the C takes the cake on the looks.

Don't get me wrong... the C63 is beautiful too. The M3 has more aggressive fender flares and a more aggressive stance in person that the pictures don't convey. The C63 is the clearly better package when exterior and interior looks are considered IMO.

Nice pics. Nobody however has noted the ML 63 next to them. I had one in the same color.

The M3 has nice rear fender flares.. That's about it! Ur new C63 looks much more aggressive overall.

The M3 is looking a bit dry compared to the fresh looking coupe but it's style like other M3's will stand the test of time.

Nice cars! I too think the C is overall a better looker. I do like the fender flare of the M though.

My old M3 with Imola Red int and my new C350

I had an E46 M3 with Imola Red interior. I loved the car but it was time for something new and the C63 was just too far out of the price range. For the price of the C63 I could have bought the C350 and kept the M3. But I do love the C63 and think it has it hands down over the M3. BMW is losing a lot of it mystique. I think the C350 is a great car and there are none of them around. I registered it last week and it was the first one inspected in NH.

I had the wheels on the M3 custom built with a red pinstripe to match the interior. They looked reall sweet.

BTW, check out the plate number. Can't wait for the registration to run out.

I saw your M3 last week. It looks so nice in real life, but your coupe looks nicer in my opinion.

Diamond White C63 coupe + PP
I always want a m3 until I saw the c63 coupe. Both very nice but I think the C63 coupe looks more aggressive

I have owned both (well, as stated, I owned both cars pictured) and I have to disagree.

The C63 coupe is just a hair less agile than the M3 but more than makes up for it in daily driving fun with it's torque and sound. Also, the new interior is MILES better. IMO, they are VERY comparable cars on an overall basis (each with different strengths and weaknesses) and which one is "better" is a matter of personal preference.

As I have said before...

Handling: M3 by a small margin
Power: C63 by a LARGE margin
Interior: C63 by a LARGE margin
Exterior: Subjective
Transmission: M3
Sound: C63

Anyway, I wasn't intending to make this an M3 vs C63 thread (although I suppose I should have anticipated that) but rather to show my two girls together one last time
