So much engineering went into the new M3's, it's rediculous...it really is an ultimate driving machine IMO - there's a lot to love for a car that comes stock like that...

I think the C32 AMG is just as sweet if not sweeter...

It's more exclusive than the M3, not as common.
It's got more class and can seat four people in comfort with four doors, making it a better every day driver.
Plus, it's got about 16 hp on the M3 and 63 ft-lbs of torque over the M3!!!

But I'd take either one any day

I can not wait until the next M5 comes out... 450 HP Williams V10 (the F-1 engine ) something like a 10000-12000 RPM redline, 6 speed paddleshift....:tup now if only I had the money.........

Only available with a granny tranny ... If you have no control over the gears, it's just no fun.

Both cars are sick IMO, who wouldn't mind pulling up in a brand new M3 or M5 and having all the girlies jock bigtime.

The AMG massaged automatic is quick, perhaps quicker than even human shifting... It's suppose to be 30-40% faster shifting than a normal Mercedes-Benz automatic.
