It does not surprise me, BMW has always been a very good car, a very close competitor to MB, BMW newest M3 come out to fast, after the 07 fiasco, the AMG has always been a step behind the M however not this time, C63 engineers had the freedom to do what needed to be done (almost like the old days). And that my friends is the result, hats off to AMG engineers for the new C63.

BMW's 3 series sales have slowed down the last couple of months because they are releasing a facelift now and a new Z$ is being released this month... So that's not the whole story, but the C class is a sales success so far...

The w204 C is a chick magnet...

looks nicer than the current E90 and even face lift E90..

most women don't care about twin turbo inline vs v6 3.5L..

what looks cute and looks fancy.


The 3 coupe is a different case.. car is nice and well rounded, but you pay the premium for it.

We were up 42% for August in Canada and roughly the same for September. The C-class is on fire, they are building pre-sold production. They also make more $$$ off a C350 than a C63 FYI....

The GLK is going to sell like hot cakes too.

Classless opinion... the irony.

BMW has just put 0.9 APR for nearly all models now. We can thank the sh*tty economy for that.
