C63AMG vs RS4 vs E92 M3

Nikhilb2008 · 17th April 2008, 10:16

I was seeing the 10th episode of Top Gear's latest season for the millionth time today and they have a shootout between these three cars.

what car would you pick ?

Reasons dont really matter. For some people, it's all abt the passion and heart ruling the mind. For some people, it's all technical.

As for me, I would choose the C63 AMG. I have a soft spot for Mercedes and on top of that, the C63 has a certain character which I like. I personally find the M3 a little too German and too technical. The RS4 too suffers from the same flaws in my opinion.

I am not even going to consider practicality. The Merc wins that contest quite comfortably !!

C63 for that utterly primal raw unhibited ROARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

xtr21 · 17th April 2008, 10:19

Me too C63 (Reason I have a car that looks very similar to c63 ).

M3 for me... for the handling more than anything else.

iraghava · 17th April 2008, 10:23

M3 any day! And yes, I am biased!!

R.P.M · 17th April 2008, 10:52

Definately the RS4, 4wd over 400 bhp and understated looks..

Rahulkool · 17th April 2008, 11:52

I will take the mad car

None of the above , a E 46 BMW M3 CSL for me although from the current crop the BMW E 92 M3 will also do just fine, one with the M-DCT gearbox, black or space grey exteriors, red coloured interiors and Type 4 AC Schnitzer racing rims in Magic Black for me please

You said it man!! But that's why I wouldn't choose the E92. And Mercs piss me off to no end. The Audi it is !! Choice would be:

1. E46, then 2. RS4

Tough choice between the Merc and the beemer but my vote goes to BMW M3.

VIPER_SRT · 26th April 2008, 00:55

I was way too inclined for M3 before C63 was launched. After hefty reviews came to a conclusion that BMW handles better in corners. But if I've an option for the 4th one in this category then I would go for Nissan GTR.

After I configure M3 and load all the options including navigation, dual clutch and stuff it comes to the same price as GTR!

1100D · 26th April 2008, 01:25

The Merc for me, please. I love Mercs, even if dont quite like the recent non-Merc Mercs.

I prefer the sensible and inconspicuous RS4 when it comes to sport sedans.

highwayblaze · 28th April 2008, 22:14

i change my opinion too...i let go the e93 and choose the rs4 coz the bmw is TOO much money for wat it is! or maybe i shud accept the fact that cars are getting whopping expensive these days!
