I want to highlight the C63 in the review doesn't have the LSD, that is available at the order as part of the "Performance Pack" .

So, which would you want?
I'm an M3 guy myself... The only reason I went with an E60 is I have kids.

The 545i with the 6.2 by MB (that is even 60 Kg lighter than my N62 - unbelievable but true) .
The M3 is too small for my taste .

As for the C63 v. M3 v. RS4, I will take the C63, can't pass up the 3.9 sec 0-60, that would be one fast daily driver. If I was planning on tracking the car on a consistent basis, I would take the M3.

I missed that show.
When is the replay, normally it is on wednesday, but not this time (probabely due to Christmas).
I would definately choose the M3, or even better the M3 with the V10 M5/M6 engine
For those who find the M3 too small, get the M6!
FOR EVERYBODY: MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR

THE M3 all the WAAAAY!
Hahaha even Clarkson power freak admited in the end (or sort of) that the M3 is the clear winner of them all. HE called copies the others and in truth i don't even see what the merc is all about. I mean ok it has a 6.2 or .3 liter engine
but it produces like what only 30 more hp than the best engine of them all?! I mean with 2.2 liters more or .3 how much of an argument is that. Even the torque is not a wow thing. It still is a big V8....for us Europeans at least... and despite all that it was how many seconds slower than the less powerfull bmw?!
The Audi doesn't even count in imho. The ridiculously understeer shown also in the video says it all.
So M3 is a no brainer solution + it looks the best and + it has a nice ass unlike the merc c class whitch looks rubish.
