2005 Renntech C class
I went from a 99 M3 to an 02 M3 to an 06 C55, and I havent looked back. I made a similar post here when I was considering my C55 a few months ago, do a search for it.
Bottom line, the C55 does everything better than the M3 (comfort, speed, driveability, refinement, luxury features, build quality, etc) EXCEPT delivering the feel of the road. Both cars provide FAR more "handling" than I need, but the M3 just feels tighter on the road. Nothing feels like an M3 around a turn, it just empowers the driver, whereas the C55, you feel a bit less in control.
Nevertheless, for a daily driver, 9.9 times out of 10, I would recommend the C55.

I have the C55 for everday and a s2000 for the racetrack - best of both worlds =)
The new m3 sedan has a v8......this is making things interesting =)
