And you're tiresome. I'm not disagreeing with you at all - merely stated I thought you'd be along with your bells and whistles, chiming the driver's car tune. And I was right. Still, the C63 is more appealing day to day, which is the general consensus of this thread.

Are all FWD cars bereft of driving pleasure/not driver's cars?

Nope. Lots of FWD cars are plenty of fun. A hot hatch with a manual gearbox would be infinitely more fun than a C63.

Try being less unpleasant.

Nice to nearly agree with you for once. More fun? If it's the right hot hatch, yes. Infinitely? No

Don't feed the troll.

One of us has driven an M3 and a Z4 M back to back on a track. One of us would agree with far better drivers who drive BMWs professionally that the Z4 is a proper drivers car.

Clue: It isn't you.

A M3 is a superb , incredible car. But it is a bit like buying a hifi "system" - sure it is an great all round performer but it will never, ever compete with something designed specifically for the job in hand (like a decent DAC for example).

If you disagree then you're an idiot.

This takes nothing away from the M3 being one of the finest all rounders on the road today.

I was agreeing with you. Neither the C63 or M3 are driver's cars compared to a proper sports car or even a Z4. That said, the C63 is superior to the M in just about every way other than the sharpness of the stock suspension setup.
