For a good laugh: Top 10 Things to Know about an M3/4
Watch Nick Murray's video for a good laugh, and be glad you have a C63:
#4 Engine Sound - hilarious. I love how he says when it's warmed up, it sounds amazing. Still sounds like shiat to me.
I find the current M3/4 cheaper inside in terms of build quality. And then there's the uber lame 3L I6...
The artificial steering, and the fake sound piped in the cabin through the speakers.
Oh and the 507 costs significantly less to lease.

wow... what a choad.
I do have a legit question though now... with the kickdown, I know in our cars, just pull and hold the down paddle, and it will find it's way down to the lowest gear. Seems like a much quicker process in that car, wonder if it would act similar in ours? I've never tried it with my foot mashed to the floor though, and kind of afraid to!

It will take you to the lowest possible gear for the speed. However, the difference with the BMW DCT and the MB is the DCT will skip to the gear, the MB will sequentially drop through every gear and make fun rev-matching noises while it does. You'd only really notice a difference on a track.

I did not know that. I know we have kickdown behind the gas pedal, but never pushed past in in M mode because I'm shifting anyways! I might have to try it when I get the car back!
