Υes that's true. The front bumper of the C63 reminds me of Brabus aftermarket kits (not in a good way though).

Concerning the weight I have a question.
We all know now that the C63 is a bit too heavy.
But we also know it "soon" will come with a DSG. These sequential gearbixes are much lighter than an auto, so how much weight will the C63 win with that, approximatively? Someone has an idea?

All three cars are very close in almost every measurment and test so far so I don´t think that,let ´s say,C 63 is totaly blown away with other two cars here.
I hope you understand my point of view little better now..

Hey,

I wasn't "attacking" you. I respect your feelings and opinions, but I was merely saying that maybe one should drive the cars first and then decide how to rank them. Of course, rankings are also affected by personal needs and wants so at the end of the day it doesn't matter. Thanks for explaining your viewpoint though.

Many people on this board are quick to judge and have already decided which car is "the best" for them. Funny becuase how can they? How many has driven all three cars or how many has actually been inside one of the three?`

Personally I driven RS4 and M3. So far M3 is my favorite but of course I havent driven C63 yet so I can only trust carjournalists. Unfortunaly they are humans as well and they have no clue which car suit YOU the best, its subjective.

Until someone actually driven all thee we should be careful not to judge or diss a car just yet or even point out which you prefer.

My 2 cents

I'm very impressed with the C63,it's doin so well considering it's a whooping 200kg heavier than the M3.

sigh! Im so impressed with M3 becuase it has 230nm less and 33 hp less

.
Oh please, doing well? again what formula are you using to calculate what impact 200 kg has. No offense Atuv but comments like that are just tireless.

What's wrong Andreas?

I just like the C63 and impressed with it and was just stating my feelings!! and the formula i'm using is that despite the hefty 200kg weight difference it still handled really well for a heavy sedan facing a much lighter coupe with a lower center of gravity,got my point?
