if u track ur car, than the M3 is the car u want.
but for those that don't and just likes to do the occasional street race from traffic light and highway runs, the C63 is the top dog

First of all, thanks for the upload.
All I remember from videos, Jeremy goes "M3 drivers have no friends." @ 4;18 in Part II.
All three of them are nice cars, thou.

having explored gt3/exige/elise- gt3 simply too expensive. elise exige body panels are very very expensive. if you do a few track days a yr then maybe ok....but, as loss exposure increases you may want to minimize risk.

Really enjoyed the episode. I was considering the C63 before I saw this but now will wait and see what happens. It seems that the traction control is far too invasive and when you switch it off it is not controllable to us mere mortals.
Can't believe the M3 was 5 seconds quicker around that track, man they have really sorted that car out. Hate to say it but it has been a much better thought out and executed car than the " lets stick a big motor " in the C class C63. Balance is what the M3 is about. WHEN WILL MB LEARN ?????
AARRGH !

And refering to your other post, what makes you so sure it has the LSD?

How in the hell is the C63 so damn heavy then? You would think that they could shave off 200 pounds.

If it is that is even worse for the C63's dynamics.
As far as the LSD goes watch the clips. The thing was going from side to side on 2 wheel power slides. It never once lit up an inside wheel. 100% LSD on the thing.
It can't even steer to an apple
