I think I did notice you defending the new M3/M4 a few times, are you that guy with the small picture of a silver c63 sedan?  |
That was me!
BMW M could have avoided the ribbing by just eliminating/skipping that feature entirely. I've heard the car in person several times and it simply doesn't need any level of electronic trickery, irrespective of how insignificant it ultimately is.

I'm interested in both cars as well. Seeing that the E63 was quicker around the track in that lightning test just recently posted, I'm curious to see how the C63 stacks up!
I'm a big fan of the new M for many reasons (lighter, manual option, wide body work, cf bits, drove great when I drove Lup's car lol) but I feel a black c63 with that engine and improved dynamics would be menacing and classy all at the same time.

Thank you sir! When it comes to dynamic touring/grand touring cars that can handle both daily driving duties and the occasional track days, you can't go wrong with either BMW M or Mercedes-Benz AMG. Audi RS/Quattro missed the boat by not bringing the previous generation of the RS4 to the States. The IS-F was a noble first effort by Lexus.
After AMG and M, I have been impressed with Cadillac V. The CTS-V is very fun to drive and I'm expecting big things from the ATS-V (although the exterior styling is polarizing).

Doesn't this leave enough evidence of fun behind?

Thanks man! I also thoroughly enjoy your reasonable (and very knowledgeable) perspectives on competing brands' offerings.
