Go with your gut.

Either car will likely not be 'Lexus' reliable but as toys-------both German cars are quite the machine.

Side note: the Chrysler SRT-8 sedans (170 MPH top end, 13 second quarter) apparently can run pretty much run alongside the M or AMG.

Default Its the Bimmer no questions asked

Who got the keys to my bimmer.......hahaha....hands down no questions asked the M3 is the winner.....I know the M3 kind of sucks in snow from experience but hey its a rear wheel drive (I have not had the chance to test drive the newer model yet but either way it will still beat the C63) - anyway are you looking for a daily driver or just a weekend show car?

Any opinions out there about which one you like best and why?

I just got back from test driving the M3 tonight. What a car. Dealer makes you keep it under 5000 rpm for the first 1200 miles but even at 5k rpm its a power packed machine.

Im looking for a daily driver definately. Even when I had my NSX it was not a garage queen. I buy them to drive them.

This rocket has superb handling, unbelieveable braking power, and more than enough horses to walk away from most. I think I would prefer an automatic as a daily driver in traffic but dealer is also giving me generous discounts to move this 6 speed off the showroom floor.

Im impressed with the M3. I just wish they had a C63 to test drive for comparison. Looks like the M3 will be in the garage before the weekend. Silver with fox red extended novilla leather and just about every option available. Thanks for all the comments

Until you have to turn........ but that's also comparing apples to oranges.
