Test drove a C63, and the nice honest guy at the dealer (haha that's a first!) let me try an S550 while I was at it last night.
C63:
OMG.
It was hardly like the M3, you could tell that it was a 450 hp car vs the M3 feeling like a tamed beast.
It was also more comfortable than the M3 imo, and I really liked it.
C63 > M3
S550:
Where do I start...
It felt like I was driving a suburban, it was huge and really really annoying. Driving it right after the C63, I felt the difference. The cornering sucked, I don't even know where to begin.
But the inside was amazing. I guess that's that the S550 is for.
Now I know I'll definitely want a C63.
Final Decision:
My dad said if I wait until the end of this school year and stay a safe driver (next june
...), he will buy me the newest model. This way, it will be a new/nicer model, and also I'll have another year of experience.
I look forward to being a part of this sub-forum then!!

I may get stoned for saying this here, but have you looked into that new CLA AMG? 2.0L with 350 HP, 0-60 in ~4.6 sec, claimed 40 mpg, and 4matic? I looked into myself, but the back seat was just a little small for my taste. I'm 5'10'' and my head hit the ceiling when sitting in the CLA (non-AMG). However, I had a Mitusbishi Eclipse in high school/college and the back seat still worked.
