I would like to see how the C63 does with the AMG performance package that will be available on 2009 models.
2009 AMG performance package adds:
limited slip differential
raised limiter to 186mph
suspension stiffer 15-20%
composite brakes

what type of bmw fanatic are you??? MB is what my grandmother drives. they might have the power but they sure dont have the sports car dynamics.
I like "cars".
Especially amazing cars like the C63. Flat out just a great job by Benz, I will give them props.
I suggest you drive one, before you just put the blanket statement "C63 dosen't have the sport dynamic feel".

The C63 is a stupid car . Useless .

PS...I likely would not consider getting a C63 (or any AMG) because you cannot get these cars with manual transmission, but as others have said... it is a BEAST.

I could not agree more with your last statement! Too many people make these broad generalizations about cars based simply on the manufacturer. I have yet to drive the C63 (or any AMG for that matter), but I would certainly be interested in giving it a try. That being said... without the option of a true manual transmission, it doubt I would ever seriously consider it.

Virtually every test of the C63 has noted that the handling and particularly steering are excellent. Perceived wisdom seems to be that the C63 handling is probably the best yet from MB, and that it is close if not on a par with the M3. Given that the M3 is probably the best handling car BMW makes, that's praise indeed and it's really about time we put the old Mercedes handling myth to bed.

i would take the c63 if all the roads in the world were straight. 
but there not. so i would take the M3 no doubt!!!
plus i hate the new design of the c class, looks weird. doesnt even look like a merc.
