I've seen so many people (youtubers) unhappy with their F80 M3/4's it's crazy. And after driving an M3 I totally get it. They're crap. I mean, they're amazingly fun to drive and probably an absolute blast to drive at the limit on a track; but for an everyday car? No way, not at this price point.
The M's are cars I'd love to track everyday. They are today's spoiled rich kid tuner-mobile.
The C63? That's a mans car. That's a car that a man buys himself to enjoy everyday; from subtly taking a client out to lunch in comfort mode, to unleashing hell in the canyons in S+ after work. Sure the M cars will beat it by 1.435 seconds at your local road course, but who gives a flying f#ck?
But the truly #1 reason I'd go with it over the M's: V8

Look i love the M4, it was a dream of mine to own an M and i loved it, however the interior always disappointed me considering the money spent on the car. They are now everywhere and with a lower entry price (M4 Pure, even lower) they are everywhere.
C63s sedan has been out for a while in South Africa and i think ive seen maybe 10 in over a year, while i can see an M3/M4 F8x atleast once a day.
Thus im moving over to the c63s Coupe and i cant wait.

I love the exterior looks of the M3. I think it's the best looking Sedan out there. But driving the car, I just couldn't connect with it. It felt dull, I mean I would go fast but I don't feel it, like I'm disconnected from the road and car and for the asking price there's no way I could live with it. The M3 just didn't engage me emotionally like the C63.
I think it's the engine and exhaust note of the C63, something about the way it comes to life and bangs and pops. Just wow, I was instantly blown away from the first time I drove it.
the other reason I chose a C63 over the M3 is because the M3 didn't have the comfort and luxury of the Mercedes. first, the speakers. I have the HK speakers on my current 435 and they are crap. The driving comfort, the M3 is very twitchy car, I felt scared accelerating at times because of how quickly it breaks traction. Then there is road noise, the M3 is not as well insulated as the C63 so you hear all of the noise from the tires.
I love the iDrive system and I think it's the best car infotainment system hands down and I really wanted to like the M3 overall because I'm a current BMW guy and its the first high-end brand I got into but there were too many cons and not enough pros.
