What's hotter? 2008 BMW M3 or Mercedes C63 AMG

The real answer is that styling is subjective.

I find both very attractive. Far better looking than that goofy looking IS-F. Now that car is a joke in terms of styling...

I did. And I find the Lexus IS-F to be really goofy looking. Stacked tacky exhausts? A body kit that could have come from a riceboy shop? Get the point?

Bill, it's 'cause of you I refuse to let people call me "Bill" yet. I figure I'll hold out 'til I'm 60 before I let people start calling me "Bill." lol.

Bill, I kid you not if the "Stacked tacky exhausts" that's you don't like, if they were made by MBW/MB (which they WISH they came up with that idea) you would've been kneeling and worshiping them by now.

I'll take the M3 in black please. It's way more subdued and somewhat, dare I say, even elegant in comparison to the C AMG.

I think they're both awesome and they've very different. If I needed a sedan, didn't want a stick, or liked to be able to just mash the throttle and smile, the C would be tops on my list. If I wanted a coupe (or sedan shortly), a stick, or a car more involving in its demeanor and power delivery I'd look at the M3. Or RS4 or RS5. BMW obviously toned down the edginess of the new M3 so it would appeal to more people, and MB obviously made theirs more so than before for the same reason. Both great cars, I'm sure.

Both cars are lame. I'll take the MB, because unlike the M3, the MB isn't pretending to be something it isn't.

Both cars are luxury drag-racers. They are both too heavy to be anything else.

From what I'm reading the 2 are now a lot closer in driving dynamics then before. The BMW has been made slightly softer and quieter while the Mercedes has now taughter and sharper handling.Of course until there is a direct road test comparison we won't really know. Of course,however you have to throw in the RS4 or perhaps wait for the S5R. It will be interesting to read. It does appear that the M3's reign as the ultimate driving machine is about to end.

Its hard to distinguish between the two, but based on the pictures the Mercedes is hotter. I also think the Merc. will have much stronger acceleration, which, on the streets, is what's important, most of the time. Which of the two is quicker on a racetrack is somewhat irrelevent in the real world. In other words, its hard to gauge a couple of feet difference in stopping distance or .85 to .87 skidpad rating when your street racing.

The MB is more special, it looks powerful but not stupid. It's also having more hp, supposed to have excellent handling.
The M3 looks like a plain 335i. Not ugly, but nothing special. You have to put more than 4 muffles in the back, BMW!

I will take the C63 AMG as a winner here.

BMW M3 looks better, the C63 is close. there is a big gap between the BMW/ Mercedes vs. the audi RS4 and some lexus product. Most customers in the US that go into the BMW or Mercedes showroom are not even think about an Audi. and the lexus 430 sc is a soft car for soft people.

style wise, both are great looking cars. it's a toss up.

in terms of sheer power and straight line acceleration, the AMG will win as usual.

i'd bet that in terms of handling and weight distribution, the M will win as usual.

I think the article is not accurate when it state this new BMW M3 will do 0-60 in 4.8 seconds. The last generation BMW M3 does that and it only has 333 hp.
This new BMW M3 has almost an extra 100 hp so it will do 0-60 in around 4.3-4.5 seconds for sure.

Well, I'm finally back to this website.
And I can see that nothing has changed.
Same old flamewars.
I love it.

The C class looks more luxury than sport,
and they both cater to different tastes.
However, unless the C-Klass was in coupe form, or the M3 in sedan you cannot compare the two.
Apples and Oranges.

You simply cannot compare 4-door saloon and a 2-door coupe. I say we should wait until 4-door M3 comes out and then let the flamewar begin.

When M3 sedan comes out it will for sure kill C63 in terms of styling and handling.
I'm not even mentioning IS-F, game was over long before M3 made a debut.

I'm sold on the Carbon-Fibre roof.

Honestly, how many of you can walk out of your car and tell people you're car has a carbon fibre roof with all that carbon glistening in the suns rays?

M3 for me.

Definately the m3. Looks great. C63 looks beefed up but still relies way too much on badge on front for wow factor and forgets baout rest of styling. Coupe bmw looks wonderful on road, never mind m version.

BMW M3 for me, but the C63 is also beautiful.

If the M3 doesnt have a sharp steering as its procedure doesnt mean it doesnt handle well. Its been the trend everytime a new M3 comes out.


BTW, the M3 has the best looking mirrors I have ever seen.

i don't think one is better than the other, its just a matter of what brand you buy, i was a big fan of audi until i bought my little benz C230 then just like magic i hated bmw and audi, same like my friend he loved VWs until he bought his 335i then he hated mercedes and audis, all of them are just great cars, but i'm going to get the C63 amg :)

MBs have always been sleeker and BMWs have always been more aggressive/masculine looking. You're likely to pick the one that has the style you've liked the most in the past.

The BMW M3 is in some way better than the Mercedes-Benz C63 especially when it comes to handling and overall performance, The M3 dominates the C63 anytime! The C63 looks really elegant and luxurious and unlike the M3 that looks agressive and sporty! In my opinion I'd prefer the M3!
