Road & Track along with Car & Driver both favor the BMW. Then again, one could argue that BMW is in bed with these two magazine companies (which are owned by the same conglomerate).

This video didn't mention about the braking feel of any of the cars. Otherwise, I think it provides a fair assessment of the two different vehicles.

I would agree except I haven't seen a review that favors the Mercedes over the M3 overall. Motortrend, Autobild and Evo marginally prefer the Bimmer.


There is a dark horse on the horizon, though. The upcoming Cadillac CTS-V is rumored to be pushing 580HP at the saming price point as the M3 and C63.

Did the motortrend video not place the C63 at the end. It didn't explicitly state it was the best, but it sure did seem like it.

I would agree to that.

Hmmmm...Didn't our friend, Angus, state that the ride was "very good", better and more comfortable than past AMG's? And, didn't C&D knock the C63 down to 2nd place because of the "harsh ride"? Hmm... I guess American butts are more sensitive than Brit butts.

According to European analysts, Americans like softer suspensions and slushier automatic transmissions.

Maybe that's why Lexus sells so well in this country.
