New Order for 2011 M3 Coupe or C63! Help

I had a 2008 C63 and trade it in for 2009 997 Turbo but hat is sold now.

I am looking to buy a new car and was looking to going back to C63 2011 but disappointed that they havent changed anything to the car given its been two years out.

Is is true that the new C63 2011 will have leds and a few new stuff to it.

I am also looking at 2011 M3 competition package fully loaded.

Not sure what car to get.

you change cars really quick, amg and m model get a major change for every 5-6 years, its good to try the m3, GTR, or P31 C63+headers

I would get the C63 over the M3. But i would really consider getting a GT-R.

True I do change cars kinda quick.

I also considered GTR but Nissan warranty and service here in PR sucks.

I would like to know what changes if any that the C63 will have?

Thanks

the 2011s have no major changes other than getting the P31 (development pkg) as an option--I think 2010 had the option later in the cycle too.

no leds for 2011, looks the same--I love my 2011 P31, but honestly you already had a C63 get something else otherwise you might not get that "new car high" with anohter C63.

try the M3, although I think you'll be somewhat disappointed after your previous cars, or look at the CTS-V or Gt500--I know they're US made, but for the money its the next closest thing to the C63 with performance--I would obviously say the C63 is the best car out of the group otherwise I would have bought one of the others

2012 GT-R is not a bad idea since its a lot faster and it just got it's facelift.

The new 2010 997 Turbo is a very nice car!! I know you had an 09, but they really did a number on the new 2010. Just a thought.....

Just out of curiosity, why did you get rid of your 997 Turbo?

maybe you can find a remnant GT-r 2010 / 11 for a bargain.

also there are allot of deals on 2009/2010 m5's to be had. i have seen them in the mid 80's with less than 2k on them. All depends if you buy or lease.

Also look at Maserati GT 2010's. a bit heavier but great looking cars... options options..

Not in my neck of the woods, definitely more M3's than C63's here.

I got rid of it for two reasons the first is a person bought the car from me at what it had cost me so it was a great deal. The second is that it cost too much here in PR $200,000 so I dont want to spend that much on a car for daily driver given that roads are bad here.

BTW it is a great car and If I moved to the US I wouldnt think twice of getting another one, given that roads a better and price if like $70k less

personally i don't know if buying the m3 now is a good idea. the new 5.0 mustang is performing extremely close to it and its what 20 grand less?

maybe the next version of C63 hopefully with 5.5 ?
