    if youve got the cash, its a great car. Though test drive an m3, i know we test drove both and went for the 3. No Contest.

    In my opinion (and that price range) I would rather have an RS4 or an M3 over the merc

    check out the topgear test they did with those three cars;)

    i know i like the m3 better. its bmw come on! but she thinks everyone already has one and no one has the benz.thats why she likes it more.

    well you see more of them than the benz. come to blairsville on any given weekend and you will see a few for sure on the mnt. no benz though.

    there is a reason for that.


    M3= better car for the money

    the c63 has too much power for the car. Just drive it.. and then the m3.. you'll see exactly what im talking about.

    too much power? whats that mean? thats like saying i had too much fun or i have too much money? lol
    i will take your advice for sure though and test drive both of them. i think the bmw is a more reliable car anyways.

    No, its got too much power for the car it self.

    When we were going for the m3 we spent right around 3 weeks test driving the m3, 63, and a used e55.


    M3 blew the benz right out of the water...

    traditionally it's been my experience BMW was for drivers and the Benz was for those who just had the money.

    All these cars are similar, and it's almost like splittin' hairs. I like the MB, but have not driven any of them. I have a friend from Italy that has crazy amounts of money and has had quite a few cars. His current fleet in Atlanta is all MB. I know he has at least one back in Steamboat CO too. He raced road cars back in the day, very cool guy to talk with. He has just become such a diehard with mercedes in the past few year. But it would be hard to go wrong with any of those. Maybe check out the resale on those so see how they hold their value.

    i like the m3 personally but its her money so its really up to her. shes going to be the Dr. not me. ill see if i can talk her into it.if it was my money id go with the new skyline. but she wants something with class i guess.

    My father-in-law has had several benz and all are in the shop all the time. The most recent is the S600, what a POS, in the shop more than on the road.
