But I DO know that the M3 or RS4 would never work for me on a daily basis.

One wonders whether it had been tinkered with by MB beforehand, ...or at least I do!!

Errr... I think 7+ years now... C55 is using the same M113 engine that E55 has been using since 1999 (or even 1998 in some part of the world).
I would guess, let's wait and see C63 vs. E92 M3 vs. RS4... I'm quite sure RS4 is the last one except in handling department.
Not try to become an audi hater... but RS4 needs to be driven close to redline to get the full power... and w/ TT, I think the low-end boost may not be good enough.... C63 & E92 M3 would be in N/A form... so no turbo lag and the hp & torque figures are bigger than RS4...
As for C63 vs. M3, I think would be about the same between C55 vs. current M3.... 480-500hp vs. 425hp <--> 367hp vs. 333hp
IMO, AMG is one step ahead of the game as compared to M and RS.

white and whiter
still love that video...
and yes the next M3 and next C AMG will be better if not similar to the RS4 for sure. AMG and M Gmbh engineer are not idiots.
