Traded in my E46 m3 for a C63!!!
Hey guys i finally pulled the trigger and traded my m3 and got this new beast! i love it so much, that i dont miss my m3 lol. here are a couple few pics that i took from my phone. i was suprised about the hwy mpg, was getting 22.5-23mpg easy, which is not much less then the m3.

I Plan to get the tail lights painted, and the front reflectors painted asap!
Got a custome tx plate blacked out on the way as well!

Looking to buy an amg license plate frame, would u guys go with chrome/black amg lettering or black frame/ chrome amg lettering?

Same path as me from an E46 M3. Looked at the new M3 but the C63 had already won me. Never looked back. I do occasionally miss the M3, perhaps the manual gearbox, perhaps just that little bit more nimble and agile but not the niggling reliability issues which plagued the M3 (I will never get over the leaking rear view mirror in a 21st century car).
Enjoy the C63

M3 - C63 blk/blk ordered
Moving from an E90 M3 also. Black on black sedan on order. Will be my first MB, and first car without a manual in quite a while.
