it must be in the $7 to $10 per km for the C63

good point, i would pick the m3 over c63, givem they are in the similar cls. the m3 has a high rev engine, personally I like that sound better than the muscular american type. fuel wise, heard the m3 also drink like fish.

would strong recommend u try them out if u can (even just sitting in the passenger seat). c63 is too soft as a sports car (accordng to the ex-stig) and gtrs suspension is v hard and a lot of mechanical noise from the gearbox and the diffs.

Maserati upkeep is just too high!

so walking in with the female part (WAGs) should get u fast service.

Lexus - yep i actually looked, they thought they were selling MB limos, dream on!!!!
i was shocked in the GS300 rear seat, u couldn't stick your foot under the front seat!!!
why make a car where u can't stretch your legs??
actually i tried to sit in all Audi and Lexus

as all of these car has a nice curve dropping top
none of their rear seat as nice as the bimmer or benz....
i felt trapped in rear seat except opentop one and the long wheel base model

and yes, Lexus really think they are selling Benz-like class car
even the sales are so confident.....

but sorry, you are just not up to standard

i even rejected their offer for test drive....

I also like the M3 coupe or the M3 GTS better.

should be easy to check, just a quick visit or call to the dealer but imagine the mb's maintenance program wont be cheap.
