I hate stupid games like that. Once had a gf who didn't understand why I changed my own oil, and was annoyed that it cut into "our" time. Now, there were other issues, but that was certainly one strike against her.
On point

I would take the C55 over the E46 any day of the week. C55 is just a beast.

Don't you just love the sound of the E46 m3's. I'd like one, but lets not get anyone started on the way I change cars

You definitely feel the power difference with the c55. I was debating between buying an e46 m3, aud s4, or my c55.I'm very happy with my choice. Hands down the m3 is a funner car to drive daily.

I agree the M3 is definitely more fun to drive. The S4 is definitely going to be in the sleeper category. The C55 is going to be in the beast category. Luxury and very humble car but at the same time don't push my buttons because my bark is louder than my bite kind of car

Gintani's supercharger is the T trim and ESS's is the Si trim. It is more capable and also their setup is much more better (intercooler).

Remember Gintani and Gpower have the best power.

You want straight-line speed or laser-like precision? The first, go ///AMG. The second, go ///M. In almost every measurable performance except straight line acceleration a BMW is going to rape a Benz.

The fact that a true, proper gearbox is not offered on Mercedes' most sporty models is the very core definition of the term EPIC FAIL and for that alone the BMW wins every single time.

I agree, Ms do have good handling and precision when compared to AMGs but that's about it. Everything else the AMG wins. A true proper gearbox is a thing from the past. Slowly with the release of DCT and MCT a manual gearbox is gonna be shyt compared to them. Why do you think the GTR or the EVO MR doesn't have a manual?

AMG always has answered back to M and has killed them in many ways. The NA 63 motor is in a league of it's own and now the the FI 63 is going to shyt on a lot of M's. The new FI M motors are amazing too but just don't compare to the FI AMG motor. That's just my opinion. AMG is far more superior than M.

I had mixed feeling about DCT and M3s and I drove one and it was out of this world. Then recently I had a chance to drive a C63 (although tuned) and that thing was a breath taker. It handled pretty well too. Stop watching online car reviews and comments on vehicles, instead do your own driving the comment. These reviews are very misleading.

it's okay trust me, this is NOTHING like we've had in the AMG area honestlyseriouslyrealistically (yes, that's one word) neither mercedes nor bmw makes a current production model that is designed specifically for race in mind. not the sls, nor neither of the black series, or the ///m's. the closest thing is the m3 gts or the csl, and i'm not sure if they're actually producing the gts or still talking about it, and i don't know if you can call the e46 csl a true production car since it wasn't allowed (although there are two in so cal) in the U.S. there's a reason why bmw and mercedes were outsourced to companies like pagani, askari, mclaren etc. there's not really a specific brand of vehicles i do not like because i can't built any better and i think that the iron block inline six out of the e46 m3 and z3m is among the top 15 engines ever engineered. but the 4.4 out of the 540i, x5 4.4, 745i etc. are the worst!!
