I (48M) recently purchased a 2019 C63S Coupe (traded a 2008 M3 6 spd. w/102k miles). I only have about 300 miles on it so my impressions are short term. M4 vs C63S... I'm more impressed with the interior of the Merc. It feels more special on the inside to me. The Mercedes also seems more comfortable. Not sure about the rear seat room as I don't sit back there. The C63S seems a bit larger car, back seat room looks adequate for children and normal sized adults. No manual transmission available in the Merc.
In 2017 I purchased an M3 Comp. on a Sat. and brought the car back on Monday after an hour-long Sunday ride on back roads near where I live. The M3 had so much road noise in the car from the tires it was literally giving me a headache. I gave them the car back partially because of the interior noise and the windshield had a deep scratch across the driver's side of the windshield (long story).
Especially with the 2019 C63/S there is more range between comfort, sport + and Race settings. I've had the car up to about 75-80mph on country back roads in Sport and was impressed with the feel of the car. You can't feel the weight of the car at those speeds. It's heavier than the M3/M4 but the tradeoff seems to be a more comfortable car for street driving. M3/M4 is a smidgen faster on a track.
I've daily driven three different M3's (99', 2006, 2008) from 1999-2019. For me the Mercedes had the performance and comfort I was looking for vs the current M3/M4. AND it sounds freaking amazing, the motor is totally badass. Haha!
If you haven't already, search YouTube for “Remove Before Race” and watch the New C63S video.
Good luck!
