But, if Mercedes offers a C63 convertible in a few years, especially one with over 500hp, it is really going to be a major temptation.
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't tempted by the F80. I'm holding out until Chris Harris and others get their hands on it.

There has been a lot of hype (deservedly so, as the weight has dropped, the power and torque have increased, etc.) but I'd like to see the hype validated. I still have to drive it too.

My biggest mistake with the F30 M Sport 335i was basically just pulling the trigger without driving it (only drove a 328i Sport Line).

And then, even if I end up enamored with the F80, I'll probably force myself to wait for the 2015 C63 to drop. Decisions, decisions. It is a great time to be a car enthusiast, that's for sure (although it does suck that all of the NA V8s are getting killed off like the dinosaurs ).
