http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Drives/Comparos/articleId=125350
There will be no Camaro vs. Mustang death match this week due to a distinct lack of Camaro, so can we interest you instead in a muscle-car comparison test? Here we have two classic nameplates, each with a 400-horsepower V8 stuffed into a smallish four-door body shell and powering only the rear whe
els. Naturally we're referring to those two paragons of modern muscle, the 2008 BMW M3 Sedan and the 2008 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG. Don't be confused by the German nameplates, the aura of high-tech engineering and the rarefied price tags. The 2008 BMW M3 Sedan and 2008 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG match up
as naturally as any muscle cars on Woodward Avenue during the 1960s.

the c63 is actually dramatically faster
than the m3 for those of you who dont know already CARANDDRIVER(bmw bias)actually admits to getting 3.9 second 0 - 60. the m3 however is no where close to that and after 60 the m3 would fall much more behind than that, both of these cars actually handle quite similiar the m3 is a small notch ahead in terms of that,but if hanlding is wat u want get a lotus.if u want the worlds fastest production sedan ever to hit 60mph, get the C63AMG
o yea and a single ... ( 1 month ago by AMGkompressor20)
o yea and a single ecu will bring the c63 up to either 500 or 550 hp depending on wat ecu u get,but remmeber this the m3 is a m5 engine with a liter and 2 cylnders taken out,the c63 however is just like any 63 engine but slightly detuned just from programming so that it wouldnt destroy all other amg's . imagine how fast this c63 would be with 550 hp instead of 450

the Bmw m3 is probably the best car ever. BMw will always be top notch, nothing hugs thr road, nothing feels better. Nothing looks like a bmw looks inside and out. This is a car worth buying...

Both are garbage when compared to the Lexus. True luxury babyyyyy!!!
wow, so little ... ( 4 weeks ago by CavusNils)
wow, so little thought went into that. The Lexus F lost to both these cars in every test, check June 2008 Car and Driver, lost to the Audi too. To each is own and if you like the Lexus better, great, but it is not a better car on any level.
OMG how can the RS4 ... ( 4 weeks ago by heartlessvietboy)
OMG how can the RS4 beat the lexus ISF ??? HAHAH So bias, they are covering up for the Germans!!! The M3 LOSES TO THE ISF 0-60 and 1/4mile!! I've seen the video!! Car and Driver is garbage also, they need some authnticity in thier reviews. Look at the interior of the ISF AND THE features it has. How can u trick consumers into buying poor quality cars? Tag team? My 1990 Lexus looked 10x's better and more luxurios than ur 1990 BMW or mercedes. And its still around.
As stated "The ... ( 3 weeks ago by DTHPRF6)
As stated "The Lexus IS-F feels like ANY other lexus under 4000RPMs, at any point the rivals have power&sport car feel at any RPM" check the videos on the IS-F and several different testers mention the same thing. Overall the C63 is a complete animal which forced the V8 engine inside the M3, lets think about Benz raising the bar in 05-06' with the C55 AMG which destroyed its competition. Clearly, Lexus tried to make a statement, but Germans continue to rule!
hey hey, why does ... ( 3 weeks ago by tnguyen318)
hey hey, why does it have to be about RACE??? Its NOT GOOD. World War is over. It shouldnt be about race, but what company builds better cars for consumers at great prices. So what C63 if faster its less luxurious, detail and crappier interior buttons. Lexus best on gas mileage, economy, and technology. BTW ELECTRIC CAR MUST BE FUTURE!!!

C63 is raw dirty power. You need to be a good driver for it. So yes, for most people, the M3 is more appropriate.
Are you really ... ( 2 weeks ago by Latino7910)
Are you really calling BMW, Benz, and Audi poor quality cars...? And for your opinion about your 1990 Lexus, put a '90 BMW M3 and a '90 Lexus, and see which the people choose?
Quite possibly the ... ( 1 week ago by BBlaser09)
Quite possibly the most ignorant statement I've ever heard...
Almost...Most ... ( 1 week ago by BBlaser09)
Almost...Most reviewers and BMW themselves are saying that the coupe has the sedan by .1 seconds in 0-60, and 1 mph in the 1/4 mile=virtually insignificant.
The coupe doesn't ... ( 1 week ago by jayr545)
The coupe doesn't have enough weight so the rear wheels go spinning too much (0-60 times are affected). I like the coupe's looks better, but the sedan has 4 doors, so that's nice. I had a 4 door BMW before, they are the BEST cars!!!
No argument there. ... ( 1 week ago by BBlaser09)
No argument there. BMW makes some of the best cars in the world. That's why I own 3.
