I think BMW will upgrade their M5's engine on the F10 model.
Then, we will compare it..
I'm a little bit bias though... hahahha...

63 AMG's are the replacement to the 55's therefore it is most comparable to the M's. 65 is a different ballgame however.

Really? Most of the professional tests I've read have stated the opposite and noted the handling as a strong point. The E63 and new C63 (which is looking like a monster) had their handling design predominantly determined by AMG rather than the Mercedes side of the house.

The handling is a lot better if compared with standard Merc (Let say E-class)....but still not as good as BMW....especially when you paying huge amount of money!!! But i have to say the straight line perfomance is awesome......Good car to drive but just too expensive!! Maybe am just jealous...Haha

New M3 handling has been quoted as "numb".
New C63 car has been completely engineered from the ground up by AMG, not benz. Many reviews have been saying the car handles amazing. Its predecessors (like most AMG models) are essentially tuner specials, with bolted-on performance, but apparently not anymore.

Looks like the new C63 when it comes out will beat the new M3 in power and handling. We will see when the comparison test is done.
