I really like the front end of the F80/F82. Rear is pretty bland though. It needs the M Performance diffuser.

510 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque is a lot. The F80/F82 is going to have its hands full.
+1 I really like both cars; the F8x and the C63.

-I'm a manual guy and would order my F80 m3 in 6mt, but the w205 is very compelling as a total package (this would be my DD).

-I prefer the CF roof to the pano roof.

-The v8 with all that power should be a beast and sound better (subjective, even though I don't mind the F8x sound).

-The addition of the rear fender flares really helps the c63's case, IMO. The lack of rear FF's was my biggest gripe with the new w205 design.

I am really looking forward to comparison tests and test drives of both! Never driven a c63 of any generation before.

*edit: Oh and I believe the merc has ventilated seats in which I am a fan (no pun intended).
