RS4 and BMW M3 clearly better sounding cars, but interesting result.

Would be curious to see the result on a timed lap across a track.

I guess big power difference, but with the weight differential wasnt sure it was a slam dunk.

Its just too bad the sound doesnt match the power. At least North American version may sound ever so slightly better

Interesting nonetheless as M3 always beat C 63 in the past. They are always the quicker car in a drag race.

The new G80 M3 was always quicker than the V8, but that was a generation ahead. If you compared apples to apples with the F80 to the W205, the C63 would consistently leave it behind. Not to mention the W204 that would absolutely leave the E90 for dead.

Gotta say even though I am not a fan of the 4cyl and it sounds bad, you can't deny its ludicrously fast.
Wasn't expecting it to humiliate a M3 that badly.

Still, would never own it, as it is heavy as an elephantm and it misses a V8

straight line man. M3 comp and cs would eat it alive in everything else. For the price, i’d just get a slightly use e63s tune it. Much less complex, way better sound, more reliability

A Benz and a BMW
And yet I think most people would probably still take an M3, probably even the RS4, over the new C63S E. Feels like MB has been pushing extra hard for automotive reviewers to shine some positive light on the new C63S E after the initial reviews were abysmal. I think it's too little too late to save this platform tbh, but let's see what happens.
