Agreed. I owned both and traded my E92 M3 for a 2012 C63. I drove a pre-2012 and only remembered the motor. It all changed with 2012. If it had been 200lbs lighter and had a better transmission, it would be the perfect car. Most comments here are either subjective or tinged by negative experience.
Having tracked both extensively, I found the M3 slightly more nimble on tighter tracks, albeit with a bit less steering feel and crappier brakes (besides being slower, but that didn't matter on the tracks as much). It also lacked torque down low, as I thought it was a bit heavy for its motor - and what a beautiful motor the S65 is - matched to the right chassis, but crippled on weight, steering and brakes (especially brakes, so disappointing).
Interior is subjective - I thought the materials on the M3 were better, but it looked like Darth Vadar's toilet, all black and boring. My C63C had the performance package with LSD, CF, etc. so it was all loaded and pretty nice looking. Liked the flat bottomed steering, but preferred the M3's chunky steering wheel.
Of course, the C63 sounded epic. It's biggest flaw was it's transmission. My M3 was 6spd so I didn't have the DCT. Note that Canadian C63's with the performance package have a firmed (P30) suspension vs. the same car in the US.
