I know this will be unpopular here, what do you think of the 481hp MB C63 AMG? My lease is coming up in a few months and not happy the M Sport package will not be available immediatley on the F10.
I saw an article showing a 3.9 second 0-60 time and top speed of 175mph for the MB C63 AMG which sell for low to mid $60's with options. I know its a little smaller than the five but I really only need four seats. The stock exhaust sounds great too!
I was surprised with the performance. Whats do you guys think?

The stock exhaust on the C63 is amazing! the c is very small though, its an amazing car nonetheless, i traded my 530 for an e55 but i'll tell you nothing beats a BMW's driving performance, or the "experience".... it might just be me, i mean the power on the e55 is freaking 
but since my 530 was a manual its was so much more fun to drive in my opinion, but back to your question lol 
its a great car but i think you'll miss the interior space, Good luck on what you decide to do.

FLY550 AKA Tom has one and its a beast!! Ofcourse his modded and puts out more hp then stock I belive. Ive driven it and handles awesome in the striaght line, its a torque monster. Hit Tom up from more info. Also, I think there are a lot of deals from the dealer right now to be had. I forgot what Tom paid, but it was pretty sweeet off MSRP.

Haven't driven it yet, I am seeing the F10 on April 3rd so I am not doing anything until then. Power jumped from the '09 C63 to the '10 C63 from 451 to 481. The "55" MB's dont seem that fast from my experience in racing them(to be fair I do have the Dinan stage II), but the "63" MB's seemed to have stepped it up.
