Seriously? The c63 eats the m3. The tq curve on the c63 is very scary. It's hard to compare m3 4.0 l engine with a 6.3 l engine.

The Lime Rock costs $78k. An 09 C63 costs mid $40k. Why would you compare the two if you're in the market for one? Personally, I'd choose the M3 but the C63 is a faster car in the straights and it sounds tons better than a stock M3.

Better keep modding. I was out in my buddy's 2012 a couple of months ago. Took it on the highway and opened it up. It just keeps pulling like a freight train. But, to me, it's still ugly and doesn't handle like a M. Actually, my friend prefers the M3, but he has little kids and couldn't get the coupe.

even stock vs stock c63 is way faster, c63 with tune and exhaust can push out more 100 rwhp easily.

There is a reason why benz named the car c63. Not c62.

Ive watched tons of comparison videos of the C63 and M3(with pro drivers) and the C63 is faster, but on the track the M3 runs faster lap times almost everywhere. The M3 handles so much better, its crazy, no comparison(just type in C63 vs M3 on track into your search engine, i watched a M3 sedan without ZCP beat a c63 with the sports package by 3 seconds on the track, w/pro driver)
Plus in you just do a 5-6 psi SC and its whoops the hell out that thing everywhere.

They have fixed the handling issues from the first years cars, it is very close if not a slight edge to the Benz.

OP buy boost...

Race him in the rain.

I was measurably faster than a brace of them on Summit Main, more than 5 secs per lap faster.
