Have you looked at C63 AMG 2012 ?, certainly there is no luck of power there and for the fans of naturally aspired engine these could be the last for this model.. With a sticker price in the mid 60k..
I'm seriously considering one next year..

You guys are a blast! John certain knows his ladies and quite as well! 
I bought this car to appease the wife because she complained about the rougher BMW ride. She didn't need all the power, and honestly, I don't either. That's not to say that 500+ HP isn't nice to have but not right now. I also want to try something different. We were debating between this, a 09 750i with 2K miles on it
and a 2010 LS 460 L. We did not want an F10 (though we did test drive it). It's too close to the E60. We were a phone call from the 750i when MB called with a deep discount on their 11' e classes. I wasn't about to pull the trigger on NA V8 over 2012 FI V8. The V6 has a new engine as well but the plan is to drive this car for 2-3 years and then hand it down to the grandparents. Then, I'll be ready for either a 750i or the M5.
In the meantime, the MB is a good relax driving car. No body wants to race me and I don't care to race anyone. With the bimmer, I still get idiots that drive up to me, rev their engine, and speed off. Too much temptations and not good for the health.
Being that it's a 6 year old car with Rad., mtech, and quad exhaust, I still get looks and compliments (to my surprise), but I guess trouble comes with some of the good as well.

Wow, forget the car.....nice house! I know I'm getting older when I admire a home in the background instead of the two beautiful rides out front.
