Bmw M4/audi S5/mercedes Amg C43

Hey guys. Im from Queens NY

Im about to go crazy i cant seem to decide which car to get

2016-2017 BMW M4 convertible
2018 Audi S5 convertible
2017 Mercedes AMG C43 convertible

which car for looks?
Which car for performance?
Which car to pick up the most chicks?

So far im leaning towards the BMW because it has a hardtop.

Which one would you pick and why? Or would you recommend a car within those 50-65k price ranges.

Thanks guys

the obvious answer from anyone on this forum would be the M4, looks, styling, and power the M4 would deff be the best bang for the buck.
C43 looks feminine IMO, especially in convert.
Audi, you don't get much for the price the only plus is quatro

As mentioned, the M has significantly more power than the other 2, they’re not even in the same segment

Do you guys have any advice around owning a slightly used m4? Are there any certain parts or things specifically i should know about the m4 that might break or something?

Are there any specific things i should look out for while driving an m4?

How often can i use launch control without having to worry about breaking the belt or w.e gets messed when launch control is used too much?

Regarding the three questions in your original post:

1. Which car for performance?
M4

2. Which car for looks?
M4

3. Which car to pick up the most chicks?
As is well known, the less a person knows about
cars the more likely they are to prefer Mercedes
Benz. Pick the M4 anyway. Be a Teacher.

seriously though, for myself and for those I know personally, as well as most of what we read on these forums the M3/M4 platform is quite robust given reasonable care and maintenance. I have one, my brother has one, neither of us have had any problems at all. I'd buy another in a heartbeat. As you browse the forum you're going to notice that there's a lot of people on here that are repeat buyers of these cars.

I just went through the same ordeal. C63 C43 or M3. I do like the 2019 C43 but it's not that good looking in my opinion on the exterior. The interior looks amazing though. Regardless . I went with a 2018 M3 White with White interior and am very happy so far. Car handles like a dream and it's literally a Beast on the street!!! BMW M3 is the true benchmark of a modern day sports car. Now I know what all the fuss is about.

Well, per replies above, get m4.

Now if you need the car to pickup chicks, most of them prefer luxurious SUVs. They do like cabriolets as well.... so if the weather is always nice, get cabriolet; otherwise MB mid/full size SUV will bring the chicks more likely then M4.

P.s. M4 will make you know a lot of car enthusiasts, not chicks...


I m joking of course, or am I?

I think one of those heavy duty construction cherry pickers would pick up the most chicks.

Or those big junkyard magnet cranes. Pick them all up by their oversized metal belt buckles

In all seriousness when I’m speaking to a buddy at a bar or out in public and a chick overhears that I have a M3, I am convinced, they are pulled by the magnet in my pocket(key fob).

I was in a similar situation, but I was looking at used cars. For me it was between an M4 and a RS5. The final deciding factor was the lack of a manual gearbox in the Audi. Both cars have a lot of fun factor, but the hardtop was also a deciding factor.

Neah, M-cars are sausage magnets.

If you want to impress the ladies, get a 911.

There isn't a new car sub 100k that can compete with BMW M3/M4 in both aesthetics and performance. The same applies for the used car market (IMO) Given your options, it's an easy choice for the F83/M4.

Had an S4 before I got my m4 zcp. The s4 is a nice quick daily driver. The m4 is on another performance level Not even close. I drive cars like I stole them and am way more into raw performance than luxury. Everyone’s different though
