The SMG3 isn't an automatic transmission .

 

And it has "only" 450 HP .. A friend of mine is waiting for order and he is planning to bring it to 500 HP like the CLS .

 

It must KIND of bug the owners of its big brothers which cost 2 or 3 times more AMG mercs that the c63 has the same engine as the top of the line big amg? Maybe a tad detuned or what not but for the most part it is the exact same thing.

Imagine bmw slapping the v10 into an m3 or something. Providing they could balance it etc etc but Not thinking m5/6 owners would be pleased with the little brother m3 blowing by in warp speed for half the cost.

 

I bet the 135i coupe, especially with Procede mods will give the big ///Ms a scare. Its amazing the HP they are putting in affordable cars these days.

 

I already kind of bugs me the 135 gets a nice brembo brake set and other goodies-not even AVAILABLE on any other model and this is their cheapest model. I mean if a 135 gets nice big brembos for stopping powers than why the heck shouldnt the rest of the lineup which is bigger and heavier get them-atleast with the sport package.

I dont know I agree that with bmw you get very little for your money other than a great handling/engine car that is fun to drive. Aside from that not too many goodies come without insane prices.

 

Agreed ... I think BMW would do well to offer further modifications to their lineup. Things like maybe lowered springs, brembo brakes, quad exhaust. But I guess they've thought of it, and for whatever reason, decided not to??

 

3.9!!!!!! Thats insane for a 4 door saloon!

 

Now, let's work on improving the mpg at that speed.

 

So the article didnt like the C63 for its "harsh" design? I personally love the look. Really aggressive and mean. Id still take a 4 door M3.
