Re: How many of you thinking of switching to Mercedes
I'll have the say the only car I've considered from Merc is the C63 AMG.
The looks and styling are more aggressive than the M3. The exhaust note is unbeatable for a stock exhaust and the HP it puts out is phenomenal.
But the 8300rpm redline, handling, lighter weight, 8 ITBs, DCT and being an all time M3 lover sealed the deal.
For a cruiser, the C63 is really a good option if that is what you prefer. The amount of power on tap is intoxicating.

Re: How many of you thinking of switching to Mercedes
Like some here, I find the usual Merc very soft. tested A class, B class, C class, E class, M class.....farking torque is just not there:thinking:.
I never driven but heard the AMGs are very diff and very good. Well the F1 safety car is an AMG so it has to be good.

Re: How many of you thinking of switching to Mercedes
i did. look at the 7 series and s class. 7 series beats the merc in features. TOP Gear comparison of the 2 cars also yields same results. if u r refering to C class and 3 series then its not a fair comparison. the c class came out a good 3 yrs after the 3 was introduced. the new 3 shld cream the c class flat.pengful;507266 said:

Re: How many of you thinking of switching to Mercedes
looks like if one is not a hardcore tracker, c63 looks to be a very fun car to have. great exhaust (stock is already intoxicating, imagine with an aftermarket exhaust), power on tap, just that the handling is caught out when you bring it on track. road tax however makes one think twice whether is it worth it? :wavey:

Re: How many of you thinking of switching to Mercedes
i think C63 win in power dept due to the BIG engine - as someone here have signature "no replacement for displacement"
but i feel that the roadtax for 6.3L is not an issue if the buyer can fork out the amt for a C63
perhaps we should compare the F10 against the E class as a measure of what Merc and BMW is capable of lately

Re: How many of you thinking of switching to Mercedes
Think the main thrust/idea behind my road tax idea is that a c63 prob costs around 350k range from C&C? M3/GTR would be in that range as well, and they deliver similar, if not better performance, but without the additional payment in road tax.
F10 and E class both have their pros and cons I guess? Always a thinking carved into people's minds already that a bimmer would be built for driving while a merc may be more comfortable while in the back seat? Of course, these are all ideas that the media and PR dept of the car companies have drilled into us over the years.
And i fully agree, no replacement for displacement! 6.3L of yummy V8. Slurp.
