Thanks for the vid... I just read the Car and Driver with the same comparo. I really need a new M3 in my life. but why in the hell should you need to go intothe idrive to use the m button. why isnt the power just there all the time

I agree, especially since iDrive is being touted as a piece of crap.

 

[mplsdunk]

i'd take the mercedes though.

'Just push a button away for your happiness'.. yes, M3 indeed!

The C63 AMG is sweet. Nice Video

 

[iceman3699]

read the Car and Driver comparison as well, cant wait to see them compare the M3 to the RS5/Lexus ISF/etc

 

[suburbanknight83]

I Jadore the RS4

I-drive is great, the best system is any car out today. I love mine, and I wouldnt get another bmw without it.

That being said, when my lease is up I will be giving up my E92 for that monster M3. Crimson red as well!!

RS4 >>>>> ___

I absolutely love that car. Very classy...MB lost some of its appeal to me, M3 is kinda ugly with that hood.

Audi's grill is just so mean lookin...straight menacing/evil, very European. Like Bridgette Nielson

AMG for me. 3.9 0-60 = game over.

 

[eprimpk4l]

i think that idrive is pretty sick, out of all 3 im liking the MB the most

 

[hollowpoints]

AMG for me. 3.9 0-60 = game over.
There's no way the C63 is that fast- Mercedes itself claims 4.5, and a Turbo 911 does it in 3.7

 

[termanology27]

love the new m3.
so sexy.

An aggressive right foot generates can't-help-smiling burnouts, while a more restrained squeeze yields a fuss-free launch, followed by a hair-raising 3.9-second explosion to 60 mph, easily outrunning the other two. Upshifts happen quickly, leaving just the smallest interruption in the surge of power on the way to a blazing 12.3-second quarter-mile at 116 mph, and the Benz keeps charging hard until it runs headfirst into its 153-mph speed governor.
From Car and Driver.

^ Just saw that, MB/AMG listed some conservative numbers...I wouldn't think the car mag journalists would be able to produce better 0-60 times thanMB's test drivers. If C&D really did rip off a 3.9, wow. With the amount of torque that motor puts out, traction control must have been working OT tokeep that car from breaking loose.

 

[mplsdunk]

i trust car and drivers stats. alot of companies under rate their cars power on purpose.

 

[ap27]

Mercedes is known to underrate their stats bc of insurance reasons (or so i've heard)...

I also think a few years ago Lexus was sued for overstating/embellishing their #s, so I guess that's another reason for car companies to do it...

That Benz is sick tho...
