Got mine last night - Brilliant Blue

Coming from an M4 to this car I was a little apprehensive....but this car is a beast and it's definitely a step up. Brilliant Blue looks so much better in person than in pictures. I took the extra long way to work this morning.

Thank you all.

Quick initial driving impression: C63 is definitely a different drive than my M4 but it feels more luxury yet with lots of hidden power. The M is a bit more raw but BMW's dual clutch transmission is hands down better than the AMG. That being said this car still has a good transmission. Handling is still up in the air since I can't really open it up but it does feel like it can handle just about anything. Regarding power this car just feels like it's waiting for you to floor it. V8 vs V6 makes quite a difference, and the sound is intoxicating. I also feel much lower to the ground than in my M, which I did not expect.

The inside of the AMG is beautiful and is more refined and feels better. I have had 3 Ms and this is my first AMG so I will be learning new stuff for quite some time.

After owning both cars I can tell you that you will not make a mistake choosing either. They are both great cars and they will not disappoint. Each have qualities of their own and as I stated earlier I love my M's dual clutch, but for me it was just time for a change. I am very happy with my purchase and the guys here at my job can't stop taking pictures of my new ride. That's my 2 cents worth.

Thanks for that comparison. That is what I have been hearing. I wish it had the steering wheel the M has but we can go back and forth forever on swapping little parts in these cars

Also wanted to add the remote start feature is excellent in the Mbrace app. Never had remote start before and it's a nice way to cool off your car's interior here in Florida.

Is there a setting that lets the car stay running when you go to get in? It is annoying that the v car shuts off when you unlock the door to get in

As far as I know there is no setting that stops the car from turning off when you get in. I think the purpose of the remote start is to cool off your car before you step in. But I am new to Mercedes so I could be wrong.
