Very nice review ... thanks for posting
I come away with the following conclusion ... If you want the best speed and handling combo saloon money can buy ... get the M3/4 If you want a fast no fuss sporty but comfortable "daily driver" ... get the C400 ! I'm struggling to see where the C63s fits in ... Loud exhaust on wheels perhaps ? |

MB has also alluded to the fact that the C63 coupe is amped up over the sedan... I assume in the suspension department. If true, it will also be quite the performer.

Have you guys seen the motortrend review where they placed the M3 last, ATS V second and C63 first.
It's the first of its kind to arrive at such a conclusion, IMO

You might be right. Personally, I won't speculate on what MB will do with the coupe. From what we have seen previously, they don't change much moving in that direction.

MB C63 really doesnt wanna make the shift selector on the steering wheel, feel like driving a Mini Van

yeah i think many of the other reviews had the c63s in first. again this goes back to the never ending debate of oh competition package this, faster around the track that blah blah. both awesome cars and just because its faster in a straight line or track doesn't make it the better car.

What! This is the 1st review where they didn't compare the C63S, but rather the plain old base C63 as they should.

I keep hearing how great the C63 interior is, and I just don’t get it. The round vents, the iPad stuck on the dash. Tacky, and a far departure from BMW’s more austere approach, which I prefer.
