BMW M3 F80 vs Mercedes-AMG C63 S | evo DEADLY RIVALS

[@NikoBell12]

Nice review. I know some people are whining about it being boring but that's only because they want to see drifting 24/7 as opposed to actual driving.

[@lenniegodber7805]

Right, bcause I'm sure Top Gear would have been a more popular show in its time had the hosts just 'driven' those cars everywhere People want too see a fast car going sideways or rolling along at high speed because that's why they watch a car show

[@NikoBell12]

Lennie Godber *"because that's why they watch a car show"* That's not why I watch a car show. It's enjoyable when they go sideways but when they do it all of the time it's just overkill. Did I strike a nerve or something? Why are you coming off so defensive, lol?

[@JonasRosenven]

NikoBell12 I actually found it incredibly boring because it is so shallow. They put the cars on a track and BAM they are done. Instead of testing them on the road where they drive over 99% of the time.

[@NikoBell12]

Jonas Rosenven I actually agree. I personally love road reviews, they're usually scenic and easier to relate too.

[@evo]

Jonas Rosenven We've kept our full road test review exclusive to evo issue 211 (in UK stores from 17 June)

[@Sabrermk42]

I'm a BMW fan, I drive one, I generally prefer them to their competitors....but the way some of the fanboys below are talking about the C63 as if it's a Lada is ridiculous. Both great cars.

[@eugenehvorostyanov2409]

The m3 is a legend, Unlike Amg, M Dosent just put a huge amount of torque and horse power, they balance there cars out very well

[@tysonmason4126]

Jay Singh yeah it`s just like apple products :D

[@chrisbrown6759]

Jay Singh AMG makes their cars for fun, not for track. That's why it oversteers so you can drift it easier, AMG has a tradition of making loud and fun cars, they are gonna change it for BMW. Mercedes has been around long before BMW so if they wanted to make a car to beat the M3 they definitley could. Anybody that argues with that is stupid.

[@KokRiver]

Chris Brown M has been around longer than AMG so shouldn't it be reversed?

[@kennethmartin8124]

Agreed BMW is the best

[@akadanielmaia]

I would say that Mercedes does it on purpose, and that's why I can't say which is better because they are different cars with different driving dynamics for slightly different consumers

[@leestyle1af]

I own a 2010 c63 and I'm crossing over to the 2016 M3. C63 didn't need more power, it needed to be lighter and more agile. Oversteer is cool on a track but when I'm driving on back mountain roads swinging that tail end out is too much. m3 is more what I am looking for, plus they offer a manual :)

[@brandonchism6960]

You own a 2010 C63!? Reeeeeaaaalllllly???? Next you're gonna say you would get the M4 but your wife insists on 4 doors. And you plan to use it on "mountain roads" in California. Freakin poser, lol.

Kings mario and there is the black series to come

[@umaralikha]

***** There'd be an upgraded 507 which will probably be like 540hp and a few more such as the other editions which came out. This engine has much more capabilities.

[@umaralikha]

The normal coupe has been seen testing. There are more editions of the C63, which you know because Mercedes engineers have said this engine has capabilities of easily over 600hp, with tuners already going above that, which leaves headroom for more editions.

[@Groagun]

This was easily one of Evos' best videos ever! Dan Prosser was excellent in his presentation and description of the driving experience and feel. The stop start feature in the side by side video was excellent and Evo should be commended on this simple but extremely effective application and 'show and tell' tool.

[@frankyleandri3592]

Why is everybody hating on the M3? It's faster than the AMG around the track and cheaper too.

[@hendradi3031]

[@drdj69]

dollahdollah agree, I picked the M3, COZ ITS SIMPLY a better drivers car.

[@DallasCajun]

Nice track comparison...but I'd still take the C63 S...

[@veemacks7255]

Will Johnson Same here. Not because I have anything bad to say about M3's, just that I don't race people on tracks, and I don't need a 0.7 second advantage over another car. I'd get the C63 S AMG because I prefer the look, sound, comfort, and feel of it.

[@DallasCajun]

Alien Or Sutin Exactly. I've owned an M3 and an E63 (yes, different classes), and loved both of them. Nothing bad to say about the M, the C just has such a better sound and feels a little more 'special'. They're both too fast to use that speed on daily use anyway...and if I'm going to track a car, it won't be a sedan.

[@veemacks7255]

Will Johnson How did you find ownership of the E63? I've considered getting one many times but it always comes down to the fact that it's too much power going through one axle. With my lead-lined right foot, I'd be buying a new set or rears every week (or every month if I'm optimistic). I like that they finally started doing a 4Matic version of the AMG's. Personally I went for an E500 4Matic, with 387bhp. Even in the wet it's a struggle to get the traction control light to come on, it just puts all the power down all the time. I can imagine myself picking up a used W212 E63 AMG 4Matic Estate in 2-3 years time.

[@DallasCajun]

Alien Or Sutin I had a 2010 E63 for a relatively brief period (I couldn't get rid of my itch for another 911). Not a bad thing to say about it, other than at the time, MB's COMAND system was beginning to feel a bit dated. Having said that, I didn't get the car to surf the net or stream music anyway...I got it to go like hell. And that it did. Yes, it struggled with traction, especially in the wet. But in those conditions you still have to be careful with 400+ hp cars anyway. The new AWD versions are where it's at, it's amazing how those cars get off the line: E63 S, S7/RS7, Panamera GTS. I wouldn't buy a used one unless it's MB Certified, but finding a 2014+ one is the perfect car for me, ESPECIALLY the Estate. I'm in a S7 for now...GREAT car, but not an AMG or RS.

[@veemacks7255]

Will Johnson S7 sounds like a good choice. You have to wonder how often you really ever get to use those horses above 400 anyway. You might plant your foot to the floor and enjoy the ride to 60mph for example and think how having 500bhp is awesome, but not be actually using more than 400 of them a lot of the time. Apart from when I'm on the unrestricted Autobahns, I'm doubting I use more than 300bhp 99% of the time. I'll be sticking in the 300-400 range until those E63 4Matics get their ridiculous first 2-3 years of depreciation out of the way and then I'll pick one up :) Come on 2017, get a move on.

[@ryoc1]

Never have I heard the word slightly so much in my life. Very nice review.

[@mistreku]

Regardless of which one is your favorite, you just can't help giving the other the respect it deserves. Great cars, both!

[@HiddenWen]

Personally like the C63s more, but I respect the M3's capabilities. In the end, the C63s is really just a luxury mid size sedan with a monster engine, whereas the M3 was built for the track.

[@gottliebdee263]

Don’t get fooled by videos like this. ‘Built for the track’, which track??? Monaco or Monza. That’s the trouble with KZbin videos, they need to be more comprehensive. It’s pretty crappy that an outfit as big as Evo couldn’t even get a car spec the same. Carbon brakes make a big difference even before you get as far as overheating. M3 probably is faster on a track but this was a cherry pick by the Mag.

[@pikachupowers]

BMW: 80hp less and still faster. same goes for the older m3 vs c63 amg. goes to show what good engineering and chassis tuning does to a car.

[@rcybergaming]

The c63 is a basically a modern German muscle car. A m3 is a German track car for the masses. I personally want a m3 over a c63.

[@BoomerZman77]

Street vs track?? What's the "real" story! Quick guys a-la track near by...be safe n get a M-CP. Daily + Merc will do! AMG Old Guy. P.S.: OG. Jr. Has the M-CP!

[@pikachupowers]

@@jimwhite4270 You have to understand that different drivers will have their own preference as to what car does what better. In reality neither are better than one another. Then again judging by your white wash username cant really expect you to understand much about simple opinionated principles based on your white wash username.

[@wasskhan3008]

Sababa Hummus thats just being ignorant. The M3 handles and puts the power down better than the mercedes. End of story.

[@whoischxse]

I'd have the c63 in my eyes it looks better and in the real world on the road is faster. How often really would you drive either cars on a track? Hardly ever

[@rajas2907]

Lol if an M3 is faster around the track, it will be fast on Road as well. Just get an M3

[@whoischxse]

Raja S the m3 i have no doubt is faster in the corners but in a straight is beaten out by the c63 most roads in america tend to be straight and not shaped like road courses.

[@rajas2907]

my M4 beats my friends C63 s in straight / Corners/dry /wet any road, but not by a huge difference, it also depends upon the driver i guess. But u can't go wrong with either. Such amazing cars.

[@SaMaster18]

Great video! I have a 2015 M3; just picked her up about a month ago. Definitely not a daily driver that is for everyone (I think the Benz wins there with more comfort and straight line speed), but the M3 just draws a smile every time I start her up! The exhaust also ins't that bad if you're used to it and its warmed up with valves fully open!

[@elusivellama]

That sudden oversteer on the Mercedes is ridiculously noticeable compared to the BMW's smooth, drama free corner exit..

+Pedro Santos Lol, the M3 beat the C63 around a short-ass circuit by 0.7 seconds. Hahahah. That's a fucking joke. Take the cars to a longer race track, and the M3 won't stand a chance. Also, everyone knows the C63 is the superior car to have on the road. The M3 drives likes crap on the road, and "especially when its wet" it's what every reviewer says.

[@PedroTRamos1]

[@ricklp10]

The Mercedes doesn't use automated single clutch transmission. It uses a transmission more like a conventional automatic gear box with planetary gears. The different part about it is that it uses a multi disc clutch pack instead of a torque converter.

[@cjp6238]

C63 > M3 for the simple fact that you see too many M3's on the road. They're a dime a dozen. C63 has this exclusivity and rarity about it that makes it the cooler car in my opinion. Plus I love the way it looks. And you can't beat that AMG roar!

[@drdj69]

[@zdx197]

I drove the C63S AMG yesterday and once you hear that brutal V8 roaring (AMG really did a good job making the 4.0 bi-turbo V8 sound as "full" as the older 6.2 version) you will soon forget about the fact the C63S is a bit heavier and a bit more slumpish than the M3. These cars are not made for solely tracking anyway. They are just sporty saloons made to have fun on your daily rides and have an occasional trackday if you like. Imo the C63S is the one who will give you the most thrills and the most "thumbs up" from other petrolheads simply because of its higher muscle/testosteron level. Ofcourse all this is from the perspective of a fast saloon where agility and handling are not the #1 prior thing, at least not in my opinion.

[@MultiJugulator]

Raw power is nothing. Balance is everything.

[@sukhrajsahi9587]

[@darthvidu8020]

Mercedes does more than just raw power. The C63 is a much better all-rounder. If you want a track car, the M3 is better, yes. But there are better track cars than it. It's all about compromise.

[@SaMaster18]

Also, comparing price, wouldn't the non-S C63 be a better match up? Crazy to see the M3 (non competition package) edge out the S model!

Anish Ahuja LOL great to see you're finally seeing the light!

[@nightfly168]

6:37 "We've got a single clutch conventional auto in this car". No not exactly, actually it is called the AMG speedshift MCT. It i essentially the 7G-Tronic automatic transmission without a torque converter. Instead of a torque converter, it uses a compact wet startup clutch to launch the car from a stop, and also supports computer-controlled double declutching. The MCT (Multi-Clutch Technology) acronym refers to a planetary (automatic) transmission’s multiple clutches and bands for each gear. BMW's DCT is still much faster though, but to call the mercedes' transmission a conventional auto, is not right either.

[@thelarry383]

Good thing for mercedes fans, being faster on a race track is completely irrelevant in the real world where straight line performance is more relevant.

[@lambosforusal]

Light Yagami indeed, you hear him talking in the beginning how everything in the BMW feels so much better on a flat racetrack than it did on the road. exactly something i do not want to hear if i am looking for a car! you can see the Mercedes being a bit more "wobbely" in the corners, showing it has a slightly longer spring rate and softer damping. i would definately choose the Mercedes over the BMW, as tracktimes do not interest me that much. Real world performance and usability do.

[@thelarry383]

***** not when you're doing things like overtaking

[@mrkruger5108]

Light Yagami Didn't really see the c63 ahead on the straights now did we?

[@thelarry383]

Mr Kruger Never heard of corner exit speed now have we?

[@Dgannt]

Light Yagami Actually M3 had faster corner exit speed thanks to less oversteer. Hence why M3 kept pulling away.

[@slaWterCH]

Finally these two :) Personally, I prefer the AMG. Better sound and most likely a better all around road car. Still, I'm glad I ordered a Cayman GTS instead of a C63 S.

[@GaryDownes]

Cayman is better than both the M3 and C63s. But if were to choose between the two, BMW has my money. Lighter, more agile and just better fun to drive.

Well, i have to say that. As a BMW fan/Owner ( 130i Hatch, 265 BHP, 6l, etc ) for me a couple of seconds doesn't matter at all when you buy a car. A car is also made of emotions, the feeling, the sound, the power, etc. I love trM3, its a fantastic car, it's so precise and thight, a track machine!! But the c63s, ah its amazing!! Got the feeling, the sound, the power, and even a couple of second's slower, still an fantastic and emotional car. These are two completely different beasts, and two fantastic cars!! Stop this fight between Bmw and Mercedes!

[@Osufootballfan100]

I love my M4 it is the perfect everyday car for all uses. According to other owners dynos it puts out around 465-480 hp at crank. I would love to get the C63 S because of the V8 it is more of a cruiser.

This is still regular M3 without competition package. This C63 AMG S is same class with competition package of M3. Still can't beat. And competition package m3 also faster than Amg in straight line as well. 0-60 3,8 sec

[@АндрейПоломошных]

Vugar Askarov you right... the last m3 & m4 are true little beasts, even for new c63 amg...

[@goga511]

[@kamika-zz6192]

Yes, it is a 11000£ price difference.

[@M3Conv]

+Hans Klostermann The M3 would humiliate a standard C63 so i guess they were letting MB retain some dignity in the result being reasonably close

[@konquistador1]

+M3Conv You obviously have no idea what the exact differences between c63 and c63s are. They both make roughly the same lap times and the acceleration from 0-100km/h is in the c63s about 0,1 seconds faster so what? Just btw: Compare some lap times at the Nürburgring or Hockenheimring and you'll see how ridiculous your comment is

[@CarsnFood]

[@warikplaya]

Seems like a really small race track. A decent straight would allow the benz to close the gap nicely. Besides, c63 is more about being a luxury rocket rather than a track star.

[@cybergreen874]

Finally, a proper comparison between the M3 and the c63s that we wants. Thank you EVO !!

[@surewin1773]

I'm really impressed by the C63. The chassis seems much better behaved on track than its predecessor. The lap time margin between the E92 M3 and the older C63 was far greater. AMG is doing good work-

wtf r u on? They are in the same segment

[@g4zzyp]

They are both great cars but very different beasts. The M3 is awesome (I owned one) and is an easier drive as the car is very well balanced. I jacked in the M3 and got the C63 AMG S (which I currently still have) and I love it. The AMG is less forgiving and requires more "driving" which is what I love about it. I'm neither a Merc or BMW fanboy but more a driving fanboy. For me overall if you are looking to buy one of these the M3 would probably pip it for most but saying that I wouldn't swap my AMG back for the M3. You can't go wrong with either, it's just down to personal preference

So they're the same in the lap time but I'd better off with the MB as a daily driver.

[@tyhutson6558]

Drinking game: every time this guy says "slightly" take a drink

[@jacobwebert2856]

Yes M3/M4 is the winner :) I have a 2016 M4 and I love it. I am thinking I need to go to a MB dealer and testdrive the AMG C63S before I say more but.. First the sound, the AMG is supposed, to all KZbin clips, sound so much better. I can´t here it in the videos. They all say the exhaust sounds fantastic, but I only care about engine/intake and the M3 in this video makes more engine sound (and the engine sound in the 2016 is great!!). Next, the M3 gives up 80Bhp and still is faster around the track! I think the M3 is the winner because it is so sharp and has a better tune of torque(and al lot of other things that makes it a sharper car). I drive my car only in all aids off and it is insane how sharp it is and how much confidense the car gives you to do what you want. It always suprises me how controlled the car is what ever slip angle and speed I choose.

[@adilahmed6183]

I've also got an m4 and having recently driven the new c63 i was left underwhelmed. Looks far too ordinary and I suppose everyone has their own preference but for me although the c63 sounded good when revved in neutral, driving it with windows closed and the sound insulation makes car sound naff. Old c63 sounded epic! Also i noticed the seating position is too high for my liking. The suspension and steering are soft so although comfortable no way near as a connected feel as the m3/m4. M4 handles much better in my opinion, a true benchmark and the sound has to be heard in person to be appreciated not videos- love the overun!

[@jacobwebert2856]

+adil ahmed Spot on! the M4 is sharp and brutal. Some say the M2 is better because the ride isn't so harsh.. but I want my M car to feel stiff and evolving all the time.. To me it is comfortable but always seriously hard and agile. And again the sound.. you have to hear it IRL! Fantastic!! I think the M4 is amazing:)

[@markoslider5953]

///M POWER BABY!!!

[@tt-ln4mc]

hell yea

[@dominicancash]

So half a second faster, with less refinement, less technology, and definitely with a way better sound, how many times ppl takes this cars to the track? Most never do , how many get race on the street at a red light ? Lots of them and you know what that c63 will make you eat dust 100% of the time .

[@tt-ln4mc]

dominicancash More technology, more beutiful, WAAAAY better around corners and at a street light the c63 would burn out its tires before it even starts. The C63 is trash and thats why the M3 won

[@dominicancash]

+Mitt Romney yo clearly don't know shit about cars c63 is AWD meaning no burning tires , the interior on the m3 looks like is from 1993 old as fuck super dated.

[@tt-ln4mc]

dominicancash first of all, the F80 looks a lot niver interior than the C63. The C63 is rear wheel drive you idiot. You have to pay extra for all wheel drive.

[@exinsiders3009]

Any one can answer me where is The Audi S4 ?!?!

[@mikealanzo]

In all honesty, even if it differed 10-20 minutes I'd still go for the AMG!

[@HOSSMCGILLICUTTI]

I don't know much about German Cars, but wouldn't the M5 be more comparable

[@23pyromaniac]

M5 would be more comparible to the S63 AMG or the S65 AMG

[@HOSSMCGILLICUTTI]

Is a 63 body the same in different letters? I thought the letter indicated the engine and "spiffyness "

[@23pyromaniac]

Na

[@mantouism]

+kobyashi more like e63 for m5 and cls63 for m6

[@psalmco2425]

+kobyashi S class is to be compared to the 7 series probably an Alpina B7 not the M5

[@middyacdc]

I appreciate the performance and balance of the M3 on track. However the C63 makes a much better road car. The interior is like a baby S class, miles ahead of the m3. and the v8 sounds great. 90% of owners won't use these cars on a track so the Merc gets my vote.

[@j.taveras8447]

There's no better comparison of these tow cars the internet, period. Amazing work. Love the footage.

[@TuddecBMW]

Normally I wouldn't care about lap times but this shows how the M3 is sharper and better on a track than the Merc. Both are awesome cars, and can be very fun drift monsters, but despite its extra power and torque, the Mercedes isn't faster 0-60 than the M3 (I know in the video it says the M3 does 0-60 in 4,3s but that's with the manual transmission, with the dual clutch they both do 4 seconds flat). I personally prefer the Bimmer, especially fo that masterpiece of a DCT (regular autos are good, but in a sports car I would either have a DCT or a manual). Also, the power they _really_ make is more important because BMW and Mercedes lie a lot about power in their cars. According to dynos, the MB has about 520hp (so Mercedes didn't lie that much this time), and the BMW has about 480 hp, so the difference isn't that big in real life (40 hp), but it is still considerable.

[@Arminoo]

Time for BMW to change its design exterior and interior.

[@wishdj]

From the beginning of this video Evo seemed to be biased towards the BMW. The current generation M3 and M4 have been around for a while and likely the driver is more used to driving the M3 and M4. Pretty sure a different driver could put the extra 80hp into use and smoke the BMW.

[@mrkruger5108]

wishdj LOL I smell a sour Mercedes cry baby

[@BFD15i]

wishdj Not so sure about that. The AMG-models always had way more power than the M-models but the AMGs always struggled to "convert" it into performance. Just take a look at the old M3 and the old C63. The C63 black edition had more than 90hp and 220Nm of torque more than the M3 and still the M3 was the better track-car. The AMGs are monsters on a straight line but they lack that last little bit of precision that the M-models deliver. Except the E63. That one beats the M5. Period. The current M5 is a disgrace for his heritage. However, I think that the average Joe won't recognize the differences so it's pretty much just a choice of your own flavour. All those cars are great.

[@drdj69]

wishdj well u can say that about any review, BMW m3 won in this case.

[@Blackbird5150]

BFD15i the M6 Gran Coupe (same engine, a bit more weight than M5) destroyed the E63 in a straight line drag, and the BMW had a shitty launch. Chris Harris was driving , search it next time before saying the M5 is a disgrace.

[@BFD15i]

Fredrik Kalgren Since you're talking about drag-racing you seem to completely misunderstand what I've written. Come on! Who cares about going a straight line? BMW M always stood for exceptional transverse dynamics while AMG always cared more for longitudinal dynamics. The current M5, however, can't stand a chance against the E63 on a track. The german magazine "SportAuto" had them tested on the Nürburgring Nordschleife and the E63 AMG S was 15(!) seconds faster than the M5. How about you do your researches the next time before posting irrelevant stuff on the interwebs..

[@SuperWowAwesome]

If your doing track you should absolutely NOT get the carbon breaks.... if you run wide only once and hit the break while a little rock is between the disk and the pad chances are very big you destroy the break disk at once... doesnt seem to have much experience this guy....

[@SRT8ClassicDriver]

which is more fun on the street? I don't care much about track & lap times

[@mahmoudhakem7642]

Obviously the beamer that merce is for driving elegant not particularly fun

[@chloe223100]

gotta call bs here...from the video showing the drifts....drifting=slow around the track Period.

[@Rascallucci]

Just typical Mercedes, oh well if the car is not good enough just give it more power with an "S" version, but still gets smoked by the BMW. Is just like when they couldn't beat the Audi RS6 Avant, what did they do? They threw the entire kitchen sink at them, they added the "S" version AND incorprated 4-Matic into the E Class Estate. Merc is probably the more expensive looking car, but that's about all it has got going for them and that applies pretty much across all their model range.

[@Rascallucci]

Malc180s That's right, smoked!! Are you visually impaired? The Mercedes is up by what? 70 hp? And I haven't even mentioned the torque, yep the Merc got smoked alright. Little boy? I am in my 40s, if that qualifies me as a boy, hell I'll take it!! LOL.

[@Malc180s]

Alex Fu Ha! Off to bed grandad.

[@Rascallucci]

Malc180s You must be one of those teenagers who doesn't even have a driver's licence. LOL.

[@Amgbenz0]

Alex Fu Lol relax bud, it's not that serious. The fact that you care enough to shit on a car brand that doesn't force you to buy their product is alarming. If you want to be 0.7 seconds faster around a track then another car, then buy the BMW. If you want a faster straight line "muscle" car with a great sounding exhaust for a daily driver, then buy the AMG. Maybe you should wise up and realize that AMG and M have always had traits and characteristics to them for years that reflects in the differences in build and performance of these 2 competing models as they always have. AMG just likes building cars that are hooligans and have tons of torque and acceleration, M division likes building more track focused and precise cars.

[@lambosforusal]

Alex Fu good luck the other 364 days of the year when you're not on a track. your superior cornering speed (which is probably only superior by 2/3mph) is not gonna help you one bit. comfort and torque is.

[@TehZured]

I always knew Mercedes would beat BMW. Too easy in Nurburgring 2011 Mercedes C 63 AMG Coupe Black Series : 7:45 2010 BMW M3 GTS : 7:48 2015 BMW M4 : 7:52 2011 BMW M5 : 7:55

[@Highlight4158]

M4 GTS : 7:27

[@TehZured]

***** $180k sports car in limited production. Wait till 2018 C63 black series to easily beat that time

[@iAmVeryHairy]

lmfaooo nice try kid, the black series is way more expensive than the regular c63 amg, the regular c63 AMG took over 8:00 mins lol and the M4 GTS did the lap in 7:27 which smokes that old black series lol

[@TehZured]

iAmVeryHairy Yeah that's an old black series and the black series costed less than 150k. The m4 gts is easily beaten by many mercedes as well as the up and and coming mercedes gtr. Mercedes SLS: 7:26 What's funny is the SLS is naturally aspirated while the m4 gts is relying on bmw's best twin turbos How many mercedes are in the top 100 fastest nurburgring lap times? 8. How many bmws? 5.

[@TehZured]

iAmVeryHairy What's funny is the shelby gt350r got 7:32 and it costs 1/3 of the m4 gts. So as we can see this "price difference" you're saying has nothing to do with it. The fastest m3 gts got 7:48. That one costs a lot more than the m3 and is made for track performance. Also what about the Alpina GT3? That should have a really good time but unfortunately it has 7:49 despite costing a lot more. What can we conclude from this? When mercedes makes cars specifically designed for the track, they beat bmw every time. When a black series c63 comes out, it will easily beat the m4 gts or even the mercedes gtr which costs less than the m4 gts will easily beat that time.

[@Semo11044]

God damn that Mercedes is ugly.

[@Dashtea]

Yeah I hate the froggy eyes on the c63. Ramadan kareem btw :)

[@Semo11044]

Dashte Ramadan Kareem to you too man! I agree, the headlights are pretty ugly.

[@barry810527]

***** Mercedes is ugly. BMW is fugly

[@kennethmartin8124]

Agree BMW m3 is better

[@Semo11044]

The BMW looks sporty, the Mercedes just looks like a smaller version of a S-Classe. BMW wins again.

[@shishajuice5189]

What annoys me about these stupid reviews having owned both these cars is failure to mention that you need a good 15 mins of hard driving to warm these super sport tyres up, so what that means is in real world driving conditions the m3 spins like never before and someone driving a 2000 carerra 4s will leave you off the lights until you get warm. What these idiots also dont understand is that most people will never take these cars on the track because with all due respect if you can afford to take this on a track you can afford to have a track car such as a gt3 not your daily runner with the baby seat in the car (m3 or c63). I would also like to mention that the c63 is vastly superior in interior cabin quality and ride comfort. In the real world the c63 will win most drags because it will be in a straight line ohh and by the way bmw you should be ashamed of yourself pumping the synthetic sound through the cabin, i tried putting a meistershaft system on to get rid of the lawn mower sound to no avail. Personally c63 all the way and thats not even mentioning the new coupe s with improved suspension and wider tyre setup.

[@pascalmpower7944]

The AMG weight 63 kg more than the M3 but 0.7 second behind vs the M5 50 anniversary 600 hp but 360 kg heavier but the gap between M4 and 50 anniversary M5 is around 0.2 second. The M differential have better locking ability than AMG's, it means the rear have less grip than the front, gives a sharper steering. The AMG doesn't have it, the rear doesn't have as much locking as the M, it just gives closer traction ratio between rear and the front, for car weight that much, it'll just under steer. At corner exit, it got too much torque, 516 lb/ft, sure it'll over steer. At corner entry, it weight heavier, sure it'll over steer a bit into a corner too. Also at 8:53, the M3 locking ability brings some over steer but at the next corner, the weight transfer of the AMG will upset the dynamic.

[@Phoenix_1006]

Yey! I go for AMG di hahaha.

[@pascalmpower7944]

///M3 won!!

[@Phoenix_1006]

hahaha

[@cutdepiefails6596]

Why do journalists continue to say that ceramics are good for track work? They are if it's imperative that you win, they are SHIT, as they are very expensive to change and they go in a breeze doing a good amount of track work.

[@brandongojenola7455]

Ceramic Brakes last a whole lot longer. Yes, they are extremely expensive but if you're tracking the car you will get 3x the life of standard brakes rotor and pads - Thats what the instructor at the BMW Performance Center at the Thermal Club told me. The reason they are best on the track is that Ceramics withstand higher heat levels and actually perform better once heated up.

[@cutdepiefails6596]

Brandon Gojenola pads alone can work your heat down and your break seat longevity. Look at the guys racing Porsches GT3's, even the cup cars, they all use Irons and even guys with Ceramics do a swap to iron discs for the track. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever to use ceramics, unless you are a crazy dude, that has so much money that he doesn't even notice the 20k out of your bank account.

Why is it still called a c63? If it has a 4.0 v8 it should be called a c40 no?

[@clutched77]

Marketing I guess it's more iconic

[@mikgtc]

+irishtempah bmw have Mpower as performance brand, that's why M before 3 (3-series).. Benz have AMG as performance brand, that's why AMG before c63 (class-c 63)

[@GoldenEagle009]

+irishtempah well if you're naming the car by engine size, then technically the C63 should be called the C62

[@Fhd_nf]

+irishtempah It used to be 6.3

[@SeanAlexanderJournalist]

No, it used to be 6.2, it was only named 63 and had 6.3 badges, but the engine actually was 6.2L.

[@TosinSalisu]

The M3 has carbon ceramic brakes which will definitely help affect the track time. This video is slightly biased in that respect.

[@LordPrometheous]

I can barely hear the exhaust on either car, particularly the C63, which was the reason I clicked on this video. I really hate that the planet has gone green, if only for the wonderful noises we are being robbed of, from the finest cars of this lifetime.

[@b71071]

Trust me the c63 is really loud when you open the valves with the exhaust button

[@LordPrometheous]

Exhaust button? I need to do more research as soon as I can tear myself away from exhaust noise videos. Thanks!

[@athanagames]

Yeah, but if we don't go green, we'll catch on fire.

[@LordPrometheous]

Engei That's fine--I just want to see the world burn.

[@23pyromaniac]

Merc looks and sounds better and I'm pretty sure it'll be more reliable in the long run so I'd rather save up a little more and buy the C63.
