So there was finally a review that chose the M3

It was posted on F80 post. I just think its funny. You guys will get a good laugh out of it if anything. Some of the things people said on there

" In the end, i'm glad I made the right decision. Wait, there was never a decision to make!"

" merc is nice but exterior and interior look more like a luxury model rather then performance. whoever wants plush they dont get AMG to begin with. exterior is too much like regular c class. M is a drivers machine while AMG is for people who drive 30 mph and just like to say that they have 500+ hp and never really use them"

"So pretty much nothing has changed. Good to know."

"Don't tell that to MB guys over the VS threads... OMG the v8 sounds omg I have a woody... F me later with these guys and effing sound. Love the sound of the M3, and if I hear one more time that the exhaust sound is fake I will find you and beat the living crap out of you. Its piped in, its live sound not fake sound "

"The looks of the car just doesn't do it for me, its a great car I am sure but it looks like a chick with a flat ***. Sounds great, interior is for my father in law whom is 70. There is nothing about the new AMG that is intimidating, look at the M3 with the flares... Performance wise its the same even with the benz being a v8 TT."

LOL

I love how they have to justify they're choices to keep them selves happy.

Other than the sound the f80 is a phenomenal car ... Hard to deny that

MB Dave

It is a great car but everything the m3 does the c63 does just a little bit better.

IMO the interior is borderline pathetic. The seats are nice but everything else looks like they were lifted directly out of a BMW from a decade ago... maybe even 2 decades.

Lol m3...

Everytime I hear a M3/4 go by I am astounded why BMW didn't work on the exhaust like AMG did. For any gearhead the sound is on top of the list as it is for me. The M3 interior is old, boring and outdated so the conclusion is

amanuuh

The M4 is a great car. The drivers are just a bit delusional.

PeterUbers

I'm looking forward to driving this new c63s.... Love that snarl

amanuuh

Hell yeah me too. Hopefully its base price is 73 or lower if not I'm going to have to get an M4 lol

g-f

Nothing wrong with the M3/M4. Great car. It sounds like a vaccum cleaner but that doesn't make the car bad.

I prefer the C63 because it drives like an axe murderer with headlights. The M3/4 is more polished but not as entertaining. As a track car, the M3 is much better. But pretty much everywhere else, the C63 has the edge.

I prefer the manual in the M than the MCT, in the AMG. However around town the MCT does a great job. On the highway it will downshift from 7th to 3rd just by pushing the pedal all the way down. Very efficient. Not as fun, but it has some pluses.

Overall, it's good we have choices and the competition is why we have such great machines that will seat 4 comfortably and will run neck to neck against my dream cars as a boy (F40/Diablo) to 100mph. No bad choices here.

IF you buy a M4 after ALL of the questions and comments; we will officially BAN you from MBWorld!

Here I was ready and eager to read an official proper objective review which is contrary to every official review so far of the W205 C63 vs F80 M3/4 but discovered it's a subjective personal review - disappointing


I suppose everybody or individual is entitled to their own opinion but have to say with some of the comments written this person has made themselves look a little


Does anyone have or found an actual official review that favours the new M's over the AMG ?? would certainly be curious and good to know where and how if anything at all the M is better than the AMG.

amanuuh

At this point there is like a 5 percent chance in that happening but if it does i already have my mods planned

YAS M4
Sakhir Orange Interior
Vorsteiner Full Aero
Morr Wheels
KW
BMW Performance Spoiler
BMW Performance Wheel
JB4
Downpipe
IPE exhaust

Thats all i could think of for right now

Why would you go from a c63 sedan to a m4 coupe?
In a lot of the reviews they compare the new c63 to a m4. Shouldn't the c63 be compared to a M3.

I am sure the C63 coupe is going to be better on the track then the sedan.

amanuuh

Because for me it doesn't matter haha I have no family or anything so I could go with either. You can compare the m3 with the c63 but that doesn't mean you can only buy an M3 lol

The C63S is probably a better well rounded car. It's gonna be really great on the track but that's what the M is made for.

Aumakua

Everything???


skidpad, C&D just tested the M3 at 0.99g, the last C63 was 0.88g
The M3 has always handled better than the C63.


They really are different cars, The M3 has always been a bit more of a track car and the C63 a bit more of a road car. Although Mercedes is blurring the lines now.


I owned a W204 C63 and currently have a F30 335i, on the fence for my next car, but if Mercedes isn't discounting and it will cost $2,400 for a maintenance plan, the M3 will be $6,000-$7,000 cheaper assuming their sticker prices are similar. that's not pocket change (well not for most of us).

Tjdehya

I am pretty sure that when anyone mentions the C63 they are talking about this current C63 (W205) and not the last gen C63 (W204).
So when someone says that the C63 will perform a "a little bit better" than the M3... they are not talking about the W204 C63.
The W204 skid pad result has absolutely nothing to do with the W205.


So to answer your question.
Yes!!!

I got about as far as the second page and then decided I had seen enough

STi2C63

I think there are a good number of people who will choose the M3 over the C63 primarily because the C63 doesn't have a manual or DCT. Transmission is key in driver involvement and AMG seems to get that with their choice of transmission for the GT. That being said, I think the C63 beats the M3 in almost all other metrics (other than looks which is totally subjective).

Does the F80 really have a bolted on rear subframe?

I thought that is just a M5/M6 thing.
