Anyone who has driven a 335i will tell you that the new 3 Series is very heavily biased towards refinement and comfort and it seems that the m3 is too refined in a similar vein).
I agree with you that AutoCar and EVO are the absolute best auto publications out there...even CAR is getting good again.

The Brits have the car magazine business down, compared to their US counterparts.

As far as the M3 goes.......I'll wait until I drive one before I say anything. But, one of my development engineers in Germany has some time in one and he says its brilliant!

Everyone reserve their judgement until Road and Track, Car and Driver and Top Gear have their way with the new M3.
What about Evo? Either they *or* Autocar kick the crap out of Car & Driver.

I was never a fan of the C-class but with the new C63 coming out it changed my mind. I think its a great looking car with the new headlights etc. I just dont know wich one I like better the new M3 or the C63. One thing i know for for sure is that the C63 has a way better interior than the bimmer and its way more elegant in the design but the bimmer is more sporty.

Sorry but have you driven either car yet? Have you even see either car in person? Lets try and save these type of comments after we have driven or at the very least seen them both.

I'm not saying that your wrong but you really have nothing to base it on.
