Impressive M3.

I say impressive heavy C63 sedan,the results is pretty expected,the C is faster and the M3 better handler,but the C came pretty close considering the weight difference between both cars.

Torque and a bit of extra power means nothing then ?!
The M3 needs the semi-automatic transmission.

There are always two sides of a story isnt it? I have no idea how you can say its close. What determine close and what formula are you using when you get the conclusion its "close"?


C63 accelerate better and M3 handles better and thats it. There are no IF and BUT.

Oh come one please, what were you expecting with a 6,2L engine from the Merc?

I ment by close is handling numbrs,the numbers were wider with E64 M3 and C55 that's t i ment.

atuv

Well as i said in my previous post "as expected"

Good to see M3 has the C63 beat on the track despite the power deficit.

Thanks for the post. In this test, the difference in straightline acceleration is evident again, confirming the C&D test that the C63 is quite a bit faster than the M3. This test also confirms the fact that the M3 has the clear edge in the handling department, especially given the fact that the C63 should be quite a bit faster in the straights.
