Hi guys

Yes I know, this is an AMG forum, also I know, not comparable cars, but try to be objective 😬

Would you change the c63s coupe for the M2 CS?

MDrex

I loved my 135i and that is a nice looking car.

See63esS

I thought about it but going RS6 Avant next

Klinh

It an awesome performances car but HELL NO !!! That’s a step down

purplewidow

NO way in hell!!!! It's small inside.. The interior/exterior SUCKS compared to the facelift c63s or even the non facelift and I don't even see how it's debatable. The wheel base is soo short it's tough to add more power and actually have it be usable power. a HUGE 25k bump in price and all you get is 39hp, some carbon fiber reinforced plastic, adaptive dampers and a few cosmetic changes so you know its a cs.. that is a total joke.

Haha what are you smoking.

As much as I love BMW and have owned M cars in the past (M3 and M5) there is no way I would downgrade to an M2 from a C63s.

Klinh

Btw, it actually got a really M3/M4 cs engine now.

Why would I downgrade?

///Bruce

My favorite was the BMW e46 M3C w/6 speed manual. I was fortunate to have owned three of them. All convertibles. All manuals. Put that top down and row that box!

Klinh

My favorite was E30 M3. I also owned 3 of them. 2 year ago I went searching for one and was shocked the price now is $30k -$100k. I passed 😄

M2 isn't a comparable platform and imo never looked right. It's got chubby looking proportions and it's not a pretty car.

The better question is, C63S or 718 GT4?

///Bruce

The C63S coupe is a highway bruiser. Almost made for the autobahn or track. It loves speed. The 718 is for canyon carving and places like Tail-of-the-Dragon. IMO....

Nope, only 2 cars I would upgrade my AMG for: C8 Z06 or 992 GTS

No, I wouldn't remotely trade the C63S Coupe for an M2, CS or not. The M2 is a great car. Arguably the best M of the current crop hailing back to the E46, doing away with all the bloat of the current M3/4. However, the C63S is a GT and as GTs go it's made for high speed long distance driving in relative comfort with sports car like handling should that fun road present itself along the way. It's a luxurious, relatively comfortable daily with plenty of creature comfort and luxuries such as driving assistance features etc., an amazing long distance cruiser at any speed (I can attest to that having had the pleasure of cruising on the German Autobahn at very high speeds for long distances) as well as a weekend canyon carver. It's a great all-rounder offering luxury and performance. Plenty of room for gear on a weekend out of town or a road trip in general and you can still seat two adults in the rear to give a couple of friends a ride. The M2 is great in the performance department compared to the C63, but lacks everywhere else. It's small, and doesn't offer the luxuries the C63 does. Especially the CS is meant to be closer to a sports car in the spirit of what the AMG Black Series cars are essentially.

Hahaha thank you all guys for your honest responses

Very helpful!

japamg

Great analysis

BMS

We've got a variety of cars including an M2C, M4, F90 M5, Alfa QV, etc. The C63 is up there in terms of performance and handling IMHO.

LessIsMore

As you said yourself, the 2 cars are not comparable. You ask us to ignore the obvious objective facts but remain objective.

The logical comparison would be the BMW M4.

Klinh

I currently own both. My opinions. ....

Fun factors - M4
Power - pretty even
Sound. - C63s
Look. - like both

Stevestil

i currently also own an F10 M5. i do love BMW but i would definitley not get rid of my C63S coupe for any 2 series, 3 series, or 4 series.

cruisin

Recently cross shopping these surprisingly... and the C63s engine / sound undoubtedly better and better GT style car but M2C surprisingly has better rear seat space, head room and boot volume (comparing coupes at least) actually.

The M2 Comp and CS is a great car. Super nimble. It's not the same type of car though. The c63 is more of a muscle/GT car.

Xec

My friend and his bro have a M2 and M4 ZCP and both are shockingly roomy in the back row. The M4 especially - I'm happy to sit in the back and it's not claustrophobic at all. Lots of headroom and big windows. A shame that the C-coupe rear space is so much worse, but I guess it keeps the side profile nice

superswiss

That's interesting. I guess I haven't really closely looked at the dimensions, but also never felt the C63 coupe lacked room. It exudes a cozy sport car like feel inside while still having plenty of room. My 74 year old dad was climbing in and out of the rear with no complaints while in Europe and after my wife joined me I had a large and a medium Samsonite luggage along with backpack and several shopping bags fit in the trunk. I was worried about luggage space initially, but everything fit in the trunk. The shape of the trunk often matters more than absolute volume and the C63 trunk is very box shaped with no protrusions and a decent height. I do have the benefit that my wife is a 5'1" small Asian woman and many of our friends are more her size than mine, so she can easily fit in the rear and somebody taller can sit in the front.
