C63 BS, GLA45
I went from a 750hp turbo E46 M3 to a C63 after test driving the e90 and e92 M3's. Aside from the M-DCT transmission, the C63 wins everytime on the street. For track days, while the M3 guys at the track are faster, the smile on my face is much bigger upon returning to the pits.
My E46 M3 turned into a garage queen after I picked up the C63.

2012 MB C63 Coupe
Came from an E46 M3 Comp Pack. Like many others, I was cross-shopping the E92 M3 and C63c. After test driving both, I figured the C63 would be a better DD. I've only put 300 miles on the car since delivery, and so far, no regrets. =)

4 hours of ownership ....
Just left my E46 M3, it was truely heart breaking .... Until i got 5 miles down the road.
If I could have 2 cars it would be a C63 for dd and M3 for track duty, but I can't so C63 I went.
Very happy I did.

2012 C63 AMG, 2012 C300 4matic, 2008 E92 M3
I have the E92M and the DCT-M is the one I miss a lot. I prefer the interior of the C63 but prefer the Nav Traffic of the M. It is free and not connected with XM. The stock exhaust sound of the AMG is a lot better (IMHO) than the M. Of course, the torque is intoxicating.

Just recently made the switch last month. Came from this:
to this:
I loved my M3, do not get me wrong. But I really love this C63. Just starting the car and hearing the violent sound is amazing. And the incredible power on tap at any speed, in any gear. Really literally puts an ear-to-ear smile on my face!
