Going to treat myself to new car after Christmas fancy a m3 c63 amg or Audi rs4 lookin more toward m3 what's your views on the 3 of em cheers

Nath

I'd probably go for the 63 but any of the above are nice enough to live with providing they have a manufacturers warranty.

Why not include an Aston Martin Vantage in your list?

Not goin to brand new about 2008 or upwards love the c63 just like the m3 because of the manual box, just want Sumat nice and plenty of power to drive when I'm home for the month

In the same boat as you mate, keeping my S5 for the winter months then chopping her in. RS4 is off my list, found it boring (sorry!), M3 does nothing for me, had bad experiences with my 335i so for me its defo a C63, Aston Vantage (friend is selling his 2007 convertible in the new year!) or perhaps a Maserati Grandturismo, the latter of the three worry me a little for reliability plus they aren't overly quick but think they are more of a 'toy' and would be a nice thing to have in the garage than a 4 door saloon..... I have driven a C63 though - what a car!!

I'd have none mentioned and go for the 1M if it were me, test drove one before foolishly buying my last Evo and it was stunning, let's say i made the wrong choice


But on topic, i think I'm with you, I'd opt for the M3, C63 are ridiculous sounding cars though, such a tough choice out of those three pal, good luck with what you choose

We've had a had of the 63 and m3 at work and we would all go for the 63
Seemed so much better looking and driving wise
Inside seemed better
Even my mate who's looking for a m3 and said he would have the c 63 over the m3

Ive got an rs4, its a nice car but as said not the most exciting to drive, loads of grip round the bends, like its on rails in the dry, you never struggle to get power down either. Driven an m3 and they feel a bit 'racier' to drive and just a bit more alive if that makes sense, but a nice one was out of my budget. Never been in a c63 and even more out of budget but heard they go well, sound great but arent great handling wise, also i personally think the general build quality isnt a patch on the rs4 or m3. I guess there all good in their own way so prob best to test drive them all

Depends on your budget really

C63 sound great, although from what I have read the M3 is a better drivers car, depends what you want it for I guess.
There was a good discussion on C63 back to back with M3 on the M3cutters site.

Agreed with most of the above....

m3 supposedly better handling around the twisty bits and can come in manual

c63 sounds like thunder and certainly shifts in a straight line!

I'd choose the c63 over the m3

stevecfrst1

1m's are ok my bro has got one and tbh i was expecting a lot more from it, thought it would be quicker and sound better. I was much much more impressed with my mates new m135i, there a naughty little thing, go like fuck and sound awesome. I though it was much better than my bro's 1m

The C63 does it for me they sound angry when driven hard

bigchez

c63 - although if you're anywhere near brum you'll need to have gangsta tints and some shit dodgy plate with "BOSS" on it

Leyleeroy

Has to be a C63 all the way, i have got a C63 saloon on a 08 its the every day car, it does every thing the wife uses it most, i have a 2 year old plenty of room in the back for a child seat, room in the boot for pram and shopping so it does the family thing and on a weekend when i get it you can go for a play, it loves going sideways, great car so good i have bought a new C63 AMG 507 coupe get it on the 30th

make your mind up!! first your telling someone to make his own mind up then your telling him which car to buy!

Merc amg everytime must admit i was searching for an amg today but must get the Cossie done first.

I only want him to buy the car so I can go for a ride out in it. Cause I love these RS4s a proper Audi.

Alps Pacino

e60 m5, i've got one and its faultless in every way. Well apart from the quiet exhaust but the eisenmann race system i have in the garage will sort that out when i get it on.

If it had to be one of the above it would be an e90 m3 dsc not in poverty spec though

ajamesc

I'm sure Clayton will do you a deal on the saff with his c63 when your done rod lol but the way he talks about it it may be even worse on fuel than the saff!

Aritemin

Maybe audi would be vey reliable new and after few years, merc and bmw seem to have major gremlins in electrics after 3 - 5 years. Shit build, only built to last few years, just my opinion though ....

I personally would go and test drive a few. Some people might say the merc is the better car but you might think its awful.

Agreed, M135i is an awesome car, really quick as well.

I've only driven a 600bhp supercharged E92 M3 and that was pretty savage, but must say the DCT gearbox is brilliant.

Driven an M3 DCT and a C63 AMG. The Merc has a fantastic engine, sounds epic compared to the BMW and has masses of torque. I didn't like the interior though at all. Other might say there is nothing wrong with it but I didn't like it. Corners like a loony mobile as well. The BMW doesn't sound as amazing as the Merc but that's not to say it sounds shit, just different. Its engine behaves differently in that it loves to rev. Felt a lot more planted than the Merc and found it a better place to be in than the Mercedes. Not driven an RS4 so cannot comment on that one. Out of the 3, it would be a difficult choice but for me I'd err towards an M3.

jaiscossie

Id have the c63 all day long but running costs are going to be higher than the Audi or Bmw.

I wouldn't touch the "AWD Skoda", but I'm sure you have a preferance out of the 3?

Take all for a test drive and see what you think, personally I'd choose a manual M3 to be specific.

Have you looked at 996 Turbos? They are getting cheap and seem pretty bullet proof other than a few minor bits.
