M3 v. RS4 v. C63

Lalithster · November 15th, 2007, 1:14 PM

when are we going to see this battle? I did a search and nothing came up?

stiggie · November 15th, 2007, 1:16 PM

My money is on the new M3.

Derek · November 15th, 2007, 1:25 PM

M3.

RS4 will understeer and kill you, C63 will oversteer and kill you. End of discussion.

RS4, its just looks better than the other ones.

but there's certain 'magic' around M3...hmm..

emil_t · November 15th, 2007, 2:53 PM

the money is on rs4, especially because it is the most understated, but still don't think the test will come up this series

poptya · November 15th, 2007, 3:13 PM

C63 for me, the others just dont have the presence, and the BMW's interior is nasty, and the RS4 is out of production.

M3_Powered · November 15th, 2007, 4:36 PM

M3 will ALWAYS be the daddy.

Buba · November 15th, 2007, 4:51 PM

^ Think so, too... I guess the C63 will be a bit ahead in terms of straight forward speed, the rs4 and new m3 will be nack and neck.
Rs4 will be boring as hell around the corners, but pretty much as fast as the M3. The C63 will loose a bit there. (Could be wrong here, though, C63 is rumored to be a turning point in AMG history, right?)

One things for sure: Jezza won't fit in the C63 seat. IThat thing is just perfect and tight as a ***** ##### (plain wrong sexual thing)

Isn't there a pic floating around of a E92 M3 parked in a ditch with a RS4 on the side of the road? images/smilies/tongue.gif

I'd have the RS4. The C63 looks too insane, and the M3 still has that lingering image of people with shaved heads.

trpnbillie11 · November 15th, 2007, 5:53 PM

RS4 is out of production. C63 only comes in auto and you can't turn traction control off. Therefore, M3 wins.

And whoever said the M3 interior was nasty...all I have to say is ...umm...what?!

I don't know if "nasty" is the right word, but it's definitely boring.

How come you can still order it in Norway then?

The_Finn · November 15th, 2007, 7:34 PM

The RS4 is as far as i know still in production. I believe production ends this year just before the official release of the RS6 since audi only ever has one RS in production at any one time

also i would take the RS4 nothing like a Q-Ship

i know the production ended back in august, to get the factory ready for the new a4.

Car and Driver punted the C63 to 60 mph in 3.9 s, which is frightening (compare 4.3 s for the M3 and 4.5 s for the RS4)

Unlike "traditional" AMGs, it's loud, brash, scary, and almost - but not quite - as nice to drive as the M3. The "Lamborghini of sports sedans", as C&D would have it. Also, it got 10 mpg.

I think Top Gear would lean towards the M3, though the C63 seems to fit Clarkson's personality better.

epp_b · November 16th, 2007, 12:10 AM

Wow, that's a coincidence. See the cover story in the December Car & Driver. Of course, being C/D, you already know the result images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

dino_martini · November 16th, 2007, 3:40 AM

I said this is a battle I would like to see in Top Gear, and was told that it wasnt what I wanted to see.

It would be awsome.

M3 Sedan vs RS4 vs C63 would be a good match up.

Ottobon · November 16th, 2007, 4:09 AM

They mentioned it was coming up at the MPH show, and James eluded that he had tested both the RS4 and M3 in comparison, so we know its coming. I hope the Mercedes is for once as good to drive spiritedly as it is to just sit in and relax, i can't stand the current M3 for some reason. RS4 is cool, but i remember being somewhat put off by one, it was too sublime at WOT.
