What are you talking about? Not that you know, that is.. the 5-series/E-class cars are hardly "low end models". Neither are the M3/C63. BMW is the more engaging drive.

The question is can BMW hold a candle to MB? and it can't for ****. It's not MB fault BMW cant compare to any of it's models. I couldn't care less about the 3 series junk.
Oh dear. Troll alert. Did some BMW owner's kid take your lunch money at school or something?

Also you would know BMW is nothing more than a Porsche wanna-be except it cant handle or accelerate like it.
And you would know nothing, apparently.

It is 420, you know; maybe he got a hold of some bad weed?

Otherwise the anti-BMW rhetoric is a bit thick.

I'm as liberal as they get and this is gonna sound conservative, but is there a such thing as good? I've never done any drugs, never will.

And yes, it makes him look like a fool. If the shoe fits..

but still, if you take the highest MB and highest BMW and drag race, the MB will win.
If you take the highest MB and highest BMW to a track, the MB will win.

What edge does BMW have

M3: 1.39,0
C63: 1.40,3

1 sec handling. The car has 295 torque it's useless.

No, I'm just tired of these 3 series tools thinking their cars can out-accelerate a Ferrari and out-handle a Porsche. Like it's some gift from god.

on a side note:The perception of handling is a big illusion.

The 5 series never touched the E-Class.

Look Trey that C63 is too tail happy

Time is great, the GTR did 4:24 but didn't pick up bags. The C63 did 4:28 but it was a pro driver. With all that in mind the C63 did GREAT!!! Just proves the Myth that members here posted that the C63 doesn't handle well or is too tail happy.
