My friend and I will be doing some performance comparisons of our cars.
So far you can see my radiator hose mishap and then see the weigh in of the two cars.
We will have some clips of the exhaust sounds (he has upgrade catalytic converters already and the car sounds amazing). Once I'm done the break-in period on the C63 I'll have some HF cats made and we'll make sure we do some runs.
They are bitter because of how strong this is rated BEFORE it hit the streets. I have a lot of respect for the F80 M3. I do believe the back is wider and meaner looking then the C63 S. However, the C does beat it in every other way.
Don't forget about the pano. On the Bimmer forum they talk about the Pano roof @ 1/4" thick only weighs about 30 kilos. That's .
I used to work with glass and I can tell you that tempered glass which I am sure the Pano is it would be at least double.
Weigh a c63 with and without a pano and you will have the answer we are all looking for.
I opted for a non pano roof because I didn't want that extra weight on top.
I was following this discussion on the other forum. It was interesting that the weight discussions were well received but when the videos turned up, all hell broke loose. Some of the guys over there acknowledged that the C63S is a beast but others are in complete denial.
So here is something interesting that I thought I would share. On every vehicle shipped; the weight is stamped on the MSO or title. My car was 3,755 pounds. That is not with a full tank of fuel.
The cars are shipped with about 2 gallons of fuel which is entered to the shipping weight. Add for an additional 16 gallons of gas x 6 pounds per gallon is 96 pounds more. My car should weigh 3,851 pounds. I do have a Pano and the standard seats.

Don't post that on Bimmerpost. Some of the guys on there will have heart attacks if they hear that!

Thanks JP. I'm not a big fan of "weight" debates but this answers my curiosity.
I think you missed the pics of the two cars sitting on the same scale... Thats why they gave the details on the cars because those were actual figures based on the way those two cars were optioned.
No doubt the M3 is lighter but the power advantage for the AMG seems to be plenty to make up for it. Both cars are pretty incredible and I'm sure there will be track battles that the M3 wins and drag races that the AMG wins and visa versa... the only true winner is us as the consumer for having two really great choices.
and for the record I do think the C63s is going to prove to be the faster car... stock vs stock and definitely tuned vs tuned.
Hmmm... this video would make one believe that the M3 exhaust sounds better. I didn't think so. However, I just drove an M3 with the M sport exhaust and it DID sound fantastic. Better than the AMG? Maybe not. But I will be driving the AMG again tomorrow to double check.
Hi I had a 2015 M4 with M Performance Titanium exhaust on. I traded it in for a C63 this week. All I am say is wow, this C63 is awesome and the exhaust note is on a different level. Best decision I made, no regrets with my decision. Last Mercedes I had was 7 years ago, was a W204 C63. M4 will be faster on a track, but as a car to live with, no competition, C63 all the way. I have a 2015 X5M as well and that exhaust note doesn't even come close either
