As been said 1,000,000 times, both are great cars, comes down to personal taste and preferences.
Thanks for the vid.

He calls the transmission a conventional single clutch automatic.
Conventional auto to me means torque converter, not a single automated clutch. Which is it? Although I think in the end the transmission is a plus for BMW no matter how you cut it. If you prefer automatic the DCT is leaps and bounds better than Merc's unit. If you prefer manual it's not even an option for the AMG. |

Given that this is the S model AMG as well I would like to see further reviews once BMW comes out with a comp. package. I love how all the reviews are using the C63S and not the base C63. Great review.

BMW's decision to laser focus on weight saving with the F80/2 chassis vs. just adding more power paid off.
The C63S is what the M3 would have been if BMW had just added more power and more weight. BMW's lighter chassis seems now like it's a generation ahead of the new C63S. Mercedes will try to leapfrog BMW with their next chassis. If this now results in a war on weight between the two manufacturers, that's good for all of us. |

We should not be bashing the C63(S). The M3 came out on top in this review, but we will see (have seen) see reviews where the C63 comes out on top.
I believe both are great cars that have different focus. As has been historically, the M3(4) is more track focused with a stronger emphasis on handling and the C63 is more of a luxo-cruiser with stronger straight line capability. Both remained true to their roots and we should celebrate that we have such wonderful products to choose from. That RC-F on the other hand...
