2013 C63 Sedan, Magnetite/Red
List in order of ownership (and cutting out the boring stuff and company cars):
In the UK:
1983 Golf GTi
1988 Golf GTI 16V
1982 911 SC
1988 Carrera Coupe
1990 Carrera 4 Cab
2001 Golf V5
2001 Boxster S
2001 BMW 530i
2002 Carrera Targa
2002 Carrera Coupe
2004 BMW X5
2005 Boxster S
2003 Carrera 4S
Moved to Dubai in 2007 and then had:
2005 Merc ML500
2007 Volvo XC90 V8
2009 Cayman S
2005 911 Turbo Cab
Just bought a new C63 Sedan with PP 4 weeks back, good saving over Edition 507 and got a nice deal from the dealer. Bought because I wanted the pace of a Porsche with practicality. The allure of the last of the big naturally aspirated V8s was too much to resist and now the running-in period is over I can really open her up and let rip.

CLK63 Black Series is what got me hooked on AMG's and lead me to purchase my C63 Black Series. Before that I owned a Lingenfelter CTS-V(junk) and a few M3's and a bunch of other stuff, too many to list.

A 335i with meth and more than likely FBO will easily walk a stock C63 from a dig or a roll assuming it has the older and more potent N54 engine. However, a tuned C63 should be able to keep up with the 335i on a roll since those motors die down fast near the top and also heat soak on the turbo motor. There are guys who have done single turbo conversions on the 335i N54 motor pushing 600whp though.
I had a E93 335i convertible loaded with sport package. N54 engine (twin turbos not a single twin scroll) now the 335is. C63 walks all over it performance wise. With the full leather the BMW interior was very nice, but didn't wear well (it was beige). Top down triple digit on back roads 335 was like a sport bike for 4. The c63 blows it away. I wouldn't be surprised if the c63 wasn't spinning tires as much as the earth being torn off its axis as it moves under the car while it accelerates.

I like those angel eyes on the M3. What did you to modify them from the dull yellow OEM ones? Are they bright in day time as well?

True that! Once you drive an AMG and it puts that big smile on your face, you never go back.
