Here is my p&j. With added wax etc.

Stunning sir! Bet she sounds amazing

The M156 V8, (a variation of) one of my most favourite engines ever

Spec? Video?

[BRMMA]

beautiful car, I had a play with a performance pack one of these, god it was fast

[anonymous-user]

glad to see a non white/black/grey car.

very nice and jealous, I honestly think Merc's look very good (not all that top gear bks about blingy), bmw look pretty ungainly in comparison i find me double taking Mercs nowadays, something Audi and BMW just look designed by accountants.

Drove a red one just like that at MB World on Saturday... WOW!

Performance pack, LSD etc.
Even has reversing camera.

No videos as yet, might try and get the other half to record one through Hindhead tunnel this weekend.

I came from an E46 M3, this is obviously in a different league performance wise, but also technologically.

I love it.

Ohhhhh the sound

Not to keen on the red but nice car either way

Hi again, from over in MBClub.

Looks great in red, I would have liked a red estate but never seen one.

[DanielJames]

Oh I love that, is it really that much of a step up from an E46 M3?

Night and day Daniel. The M3 never felt as tight as this, lighter yes, but somehow not as sorted.

Obviously the torque is as impressive as the power, but the noise, oh my god, the noise!

[DB89]

Lots more pics. Please!

[SVX]

Looks nice in red, mine is in Iridium (resale) silver. I can also confirm that they are a totally different proposition to an E46 M3.

E46 M3
3.2 litre straight-six

C63 AMG
6.3-litre V8
457bhp and 442lb ft

E92 M3
4 litre V8

Guaranteed to be a step up and not a direct comparison between the C63 AMG and the E46 M3.
Different price range and performance.

Stunning car. The noise

This is why the AMG is so good.

[problemchild1976]

The noise of the AMGs win hands down every time over the beemers.

Lovely car!

I agree & that torque figure for the V8 M3 is one of the reasons I get frustrated with mine but I will take the extra 1 ib/ft!

Stunning car OP & I would have one in a shot if it came with a manual gearbox, the sound of that awesome engine just gets me going!

Indeed, although mine has the 487bhp upgrade. .

I test drove a few E92 M3's, but although they are terrific when on the boil, the Merc just feels easier and better as a road car. I really wanted to love the M3 as I have had a few BM's and this is my first Benz, but the C63 won.

A couple of extra piccys.

[Uncle John]

Love that in red, and love red cars in general.

Lovely car, enjoy it!

Thanks all, The red was a big selling point for me. I normally dislike red cars, but I think it really suits the C63.

There were two other C63's next to this when I saw it, a black and a white. I was sold right then, it really looked the business.
