My Ride: 2010 535i, Sports Package, Nav, Prem Sound
I test drove the C63 a few months ago. The power is just insane, I mean its so fast that its scary, it almost feels like its too much motor for the chassis. The stock exhaust was straight out of a full blown race car, loud as hell and deep with that cracking sound when you let off the gas pedal. Even if you're just tooling around, you can definitely hear that exhaust.
The seats are heavily bolstered full recaro type seats. The salesman said he had never been in the C63 before, and he looked terrified as I drove it around (pretty conservatively). To say its a beast is an understatement, its a demon, I don't think I could live day-to-day with that car.
I would look at the M3 or M5 if I were you.

Honestly here is a good advice. Wait till the F`` will come out or wait till the new Mercedes generation of C class will come out, basicaly wait 1 or 2 more years ITS WORTH IT !!!!!! The newer models will kick some ass 
. Second, I would go for the C63 just because of the sound and thats it. I personally dont like the exterrior view on the Merc C klass, In -addition its very small inside I was planning 2 years ago to buy one, and I sat in the back and front ( ME NO LIKE EE). If you are bored of BMers than go for the audi S5 ( thats a true beauty) and it costs almost like a c63 maybe a bit cheaper. Or go with the M3.

C63 is a phenomenal car - it was the first car that AMG largely designed from scratch rather than effectively bolt their insane motor onto a standard (or close to standard) donor chassis. The exhaust note and power are absolutely insane, and it handles just about as well as anything from BMW. I'd look at the E90 M3 sedan too if I were you, but 481hp and that stock exhaust note would be hard to pass up...
