thx SebringSilver, i been really busy with work and school and haven't had time to test them....... I was a full time student i took two years off and now getting back. Our assignment for English II was to write a comparison paper, so i thought since there is a lot of attention between these two cars why not. I thought i would get some info from you guys since you own and drive them daily. and for the smart a**'s that commented on my spelling, how bout you speak five languages and use four of them daily and we'll see how good your spelling will be. thx guys

Do you mind if I ask what school you go to?
But if this is serious... Go to the dealerships baqck to back. Call them in advance and make an appointment, that way they'll know that your serious. When you show up know a good amount of info about each car, if you impress the sales guy (which isnt normally hard) he'll let you drive the hell out of the car cause he's gonna think you're a serious driver and buyer.
Post up the same question on the M3 forum as well, see what they say.

YouTube also has lots of comparison videos from various car shows and magazines as well. I test drove the M3 and never test drove the C63. I had the old E46 M3 and the E90/92 M3 just wasn't that much of an improvement IMO. At the time there were no C63's to test drive but was confident I was making the right decision to go with the Mercedes. I knew I had as soon as I drove off the lot and couldn't be happier with my decision. The new M3 was a lame effort at improvement from the previous model IMO.

There are plenty of threads on this forum that deal with the information you're looking for. Use the search function or post specific questions if you don't find what you need beyond the obvious criteria: power, handling, acceleration, braking, price, cost of ownership, reliability, intangibles (prestige, rarity, sound, etc).

Me neither! I'm Brazilian! And I speak english, portuguese and russian (a bit).
But take this advice: if you are going to talk about Foucault view, you should also mention the problem of the subjectivity implicit in the aprisionament logic. That is, using the "subject" from psychanalysis as starting point.
Now, seriously: Top Gear has a great show comparing M3 x C63 and S4. It is humorous and simple, just as the article should be. You'll find it in youtube.
