2010 E60 M5 and 2012 P31 C63 Coupe
2012 P31 coupe vs M4
So as the title states, this is about my encounter with a friends M4.
I was part of a local cruise a few days ago, approx. 100 cars or so.
There were a few M4's there as well as A bunch of F10 M5's. The event was basically 70% BMW's.
Also having an E60 M5 I decided to take the new toy out and have fun.
So far all I have done is a weistec tune and the weistec air filters.
The cruise led us into a stretch of road that is very industrial so there was little to no traffic since the cruise was at night and a lot of distance between lights.
I was at the front and next to me was my friend in his M4. Both had 1 passenger so no advantage although the M4 is already a few hundred pounds lighter.
We start from the light slow and I shift into second pretty early and I hear him gun it, he's a half a car ahead as he got the jump but then I was extremely surprised with what followed...
After a few seconds I was 1 car ahead, 2, 3.... Walked him very badly considering we only went up to about 100.
I know our cars are beasts but just love seeing real world results come into play!!

C63 AMG
33% more displacement
Slightly higher cr
Much closer in weight
More rubber
Better diff
Stock won't be close since even a stock w204 will run with a stock m3/4
The w205 will smoke a stock m3/4
Tuned to the same boost level the AMG everytime

With a tune and some supporting mods, I wouldn't be surprised to see the w205 pushing close to 600hp.
Plus the w205 won't need recorded engine noise played in the stereo.

Yes they are quick forsure, probably the difference of the weistec tune that gave me and you the different results considering I have a 2012 PP coupe as well.

Steel Grey Metallic C63!!
People rag on the old 7 speed trannies, but my tech friends are telling me that they are more durable. He's seen quite a few mct trannies come in with slipping clutches.
