M vs AMG C43
I currently own less than 40K miles 2013 BMW E92 M3 ZCP package coupe, but there's a lot of good deals out on a new car out there.
Any input of people here who own or used to own an AMG.
I'm looking at 2019-2020 C43 AMG sedan w/ exhaust package. It's currently the same price as a use 2017 F80 which is crazy.
I love my E92 but man the C43 AMG looks and sounds nice and have the new technologies.
Any input would be great.

2017 C43 AMG
I came from a E60 m5 to a c43 amg. I would suggest you to do it expecting a little loss on hp. At the end I don’t regret it because the c43 amg is a overall balanced car that will most likely satisfy your needs.

I had a 11 M3 zcp w/dct. Dinan ecu,pulley,intake, borla exhaust and active auto hfc x pipe. The M3 is faster. Drives and handles much more aggressive. The c43 has a lot more luxury and awd utility. Still a fun fast car that can be slightly modded. I know my M3 got like 10mpg around town. The c43 is much better on gas. As far as the comment of it being ugly. That’s crazy. I had blk/red coupe. Carbon fiber roof, spoiler and front splitter. Drilled rotors are the way around. Gorgeous factory 19” rims with fat tires. The sound. The car sounded like a race car and on top speed the c43 will not touch it. I did 178mph in that car. The c43 is not doing that. Period.

C43 Pro: nicer interior, more reliable (because newer), suspension for daily drive...
C43 Cons: Oh you are going to miss the hydraulic steering more than the V8. MB old Infotainment is trash so I'd suggest you wait until 2021 until MB brings C-class up to date. suspension for track.

No more MB:(
The M car is worth keeping. C43 is a nice car but nothing special. C63 would be a more appropriate comparison. As for the tech, true enthusiasts don't buy cars because of "infotainment" systems.
