Correct... 19's and PSS going on in a couple of weeks Around here, however, it is a gamble... we had a snow storm a few days ago and it was then all melted within a day. Weather these days is very bi-polar.

M3 is a great car, my neighbour has an 2010 e92 with comp package. Have driven it a few times and it is a delight to drive. Very enjoyable. Reminds me of a much more powerful version of honda vtec!

Problem for me is where I live every man and their dog has one

2012 C63 coupe
In Halifax were I live there are only two C63 coupes at the moment (mine included) and I would bet no more than ten C63s of any sort in total. Now, that is in a city of 400,000 so it isn't big. Compare that to probably what I would bet is 30+ M3s.

In some ways, exclusivity is a bad thing as it brings more attention and I don't love too much attention with cars as it leads to cops noticing you, thieves noticing you and vandals noticing you

No BMW dealer in Saint John so I won't own one here. Still from the pics I like the C63 better from all angles. The BMW seems to allow a little more in wheel options (lips or concave) and seems to tuck a wheel and tire better but still I prefer the C63. From your detailed comparison I am very happy to own my C63 and suffer from no BMW envy.

Looks like a warming spell is headed our way. That should get us through most if not all the worry of any amount or accumulation of snow.

There is another C63 in the Moncton area. I saw it at the dealership one day. I am not 100% sure but think that may be it for AMGs in NB. Very few people know what it is. A guy saw mine one day and said "I never thought I would see one of those here". I like it that way with no fuss any where I go.

I can only imagine how nice your C63 is going to look when the 19s are installed.

I like to do that on mine. Do you just paint the chrome?

I'm going to wrap it in vinyl. I'll let you know when I do and you can see it.

OK... so I caved and put the 19" wheels on and went back for another picture. I love the 19s and Michelin PSS (245/35 and 265/30).

I can change my wheels in my garage in about 30 minutes... I'm only 5 minutes from the dealership... 2 minutes for a photo... 5 minutes home... 5 to upload the pictures to Photobucket and post them here... 47 minutes to 19" goodness!

Now, let's all hope no more snow... suppose to be hot all week 18c!!! Yay Spring.

Yes to the LSD... Yes to the competition package.

Personally, I think the C63 needs an LSD as the torque is just silly and wheel spin is hard enough to manage even with the LSD.

IMO m3 coupe looks better than c63 coupe but c63 sedan looks better than m3 sedan.

To a certain extent you are right, me coupe has that beautiful, sweet and dainty straight lines while the C63 has that muscular aggressive stance. Both great looking cars in their own way. I will take either

I actually agree. Having said that, IMO, M3 and C63 coupes both look better than M3 or C63 sedan... but I'm a coupe guy and therefore biased . I know opinions vary widely on this. In the end, all 4 are beautiful!

New wheels look good. Funny comparing the replies here to your same post on the M3 board.
