Both great automobiles. For me the 4 door C63 AMG w204 is it. I love the rawness of how it feels and yes it does take more of a skilled driver to tame it's wild side. I could have purchased a 2017 C63, however I chose a 2013 after I drove the 2017.
ONTHEGAS Apparel Was it because of the difference in power plants? I was curious about that
@@genatorbol Sorry for the late reply. It was a combination of exterior style, sound, and instant motor response. Couple thousand miles later still all smiles!
@@ben130i8 no issues. Loved my 2013 C63 2 cars ago!
I'm a die hard Beemer fan,,, but there's something about that C63s V8 sound you can't ignore 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Indeed
Maybe because it was over 50% bigger than the M3… 6.2 vs 4.0
The C63 sounds simply simply loveley!
like an old lazy American V8... never ever get the attraction of the 63 engine myself!
E92, one of the best looking bmw to date...
E39 M5 is the best looking bmw
Nico Five’0 do you mean the E36 M3 or the E39 M5 or the E34 M5?
@Junior e39 ///M5 They are probably better looking overall, but one thing is very clear, that the E92 looks (and sounds) 10 times better than the current M4 and M5 both of which look like a dogs dinner.
both m5 and m3 is nice...but e92 m3 design is timeless in my opinion ... 2 door with sporty lookin beast damn!!
Couldn't agree more. The E90 really looks terrible, but the E92 Coupe and E93 Cabriolet look great.
I would trade new Top Gear in for more Fifth Gear episodes with these two in a heartbeat. Always good fun to watch, especially the head-to-head tests like this.
GRAND TOUR 5/5
Agreed. Clarkson, Hammond and May are the best and they always will be for me. Still, I do think that Fifth Gear deserved a few more seasons because it was a good car show. I hope it'll return one day with Jason Plato back as presenter.
M3 the best
Agree
@@persehelvetti7039 No thanks, that show lose its appeal after two season.
Honestly I think in many ways the new versions of both cars have gone backwards. The BMW especially. The V8 in the E92 sounded so much nicer than the current M4, and it looked a lot nicer too. At least the C63 still has a V8, albeit muffled with turbos and a slightly anonymous look. The E92 is a future classic for sure!
I remember when these came out back in the day. Time flys!
It sure does
A great Fifth Gear episode. I recently bought a 2008 E92 M3 with a manual gearbox & EDC, mostly stock apart from the exhaust which makes in sound epic. Love the C63 AMG Merc too and the Audi RS4/RS5 also worth considering. The modern equivalents of these cars may be faster but not as much fun imo.
TRUE STOREY, when I bought my present car, I was deciding between an m3 and a c63.
I weighed up all the pro's and con's, it was nip and tuck. one was better at this, the other better at that. eventually I decided to see if I could find some people who'd owned both, I did and they came ever so slightly out in favour of the c63 (but still not enough to convince me).
THEN I found one m3 owner, who stated 'when I see a c63 coming i wind my window down to hear it go by', THAT was enough, i'd just like to say thanks to the guy whoever he was.
ps the final conformation was when out on the test drive with my wife, and in comfort mode i buried the pedal to try the kickdown, there was an almighty BANG! and the car hurled itself forward, and she let out a scream. i told her to 'stop screaming' and she replied 'the headrest just hit me at the back of the head'. enough said.
@Martin Moor the m3 is one mighty fine car, mighty fine.
but the c63 is pure entertainment each and every time, I never drive it without a smile on my face, unless I've just terrified myself.
100%, does your left (uk car) arm hurt when you hit the kickdown in sport plus?
mine does, it's where the wife punches me as she screams 'YOU'RE GOING TO KILLS US'.
I have the e92 and have driven both cars, honestly i like both but the m3 suits me more :)
Rage Fire how’s the reliability? I’m looking at a m3

6.2L
Sarmad Mazin a big ass 6.2 V8 making only 30 hp more than 4.0 V8🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
@@georgesmbyd6603 Lol his comment was 2 years ago... Btw you might want to check the torque, peak power is not everything
Edward Ashbolt C63 has a lot more torque than m3 but they both still do 0-60 in 3.9 secs
Ojileb M
The difference is bigger actually because the 4.0 V8 tends to be a bit weaker than the claimed 420 HP. Most I’ve seen are in the 390-400 HP range.
Stéphane Yvelines are you talking wheel hp? Or crank hp? M3 S65 will make 360 wheel hp give or take
Well there are no race tracks on my way to work or to the store so ill have the more fun AMG :)
yup because you can slide sideways on public roads lol
NikesZ28 the only thing you can't do is go straight
NikesZ28 lol no race track on your way to work so you'll have the AMG? So you want to crash even harder?
Pascal ///M Power shhhh , just shut the fuck up . You’re not allowed to speak since your username includes the letter M in there. Clearly a fanboy who doesn’t know a shit about cars.
Amg is a fucking boat,talentless chassis,no diff unless spec’d that says how much of a performance car.yes they have a bit more power and sounds a little better stock but the m3 just needs a box mod then it sounds easily as good. M3 over amg as they don’t do corners amg’s.
Would choose the Merc any day of the week.
Both are great cars, personally I prefer the M3. If only Mercedes offered a manual and not this sluggish automatic which strangles the engine.
BlitzkriegRap
Well, yes, I would need a manual.
Alexander Rex Evensen Yeah, I'd have it over any BMW for the engine sound alone
@Tobias Belz except, build quality, everyday driveability, and comfort oh and when driving on a highway... And long distance travels. Oh and robot to robot..... How often you gona go track racing. Lolol hilarious
@@neilbezuidenhout9284 nobody buys a big ass 6.2 for everyday driveability
i just bought a c63 and i can say as nice as that m3 is on the track, the c63 just sounds absolutely BRUTAL, that m156 V8 has a legendary sound and status.
m3 is an icon
no
I agree but I choose the c63 mainly for awesome 6.2 v8.
@Colin - 6.2 is the benchmark
m3 is an icon on every council estate.
@@Tigeravocado-p3v big engine isn't always better. Yes it has more power, but there's still weight distribution that affects handling. Bigger displacement means more weight.
With the M3 the car is the tool, with the C63 the driver is the tool.
goguhu m3 was manual no?
So you're saying, with the same driver, the M3 is faster? lmoa
you have to be joking, beemers are full of tools, not just m3's.
in all honesty thought the arsehole element appear to have moved to audi though by 2020.
@@davec8730 All cars have 'tools', the ones that go after the one that give them TH-cam views (last 10 years) and before the one people though would attract hot women (no cars).
BMW M's have never been about the biggest engine or more flashy, but rather the handling and track performance (1/4 mile is a relative new thing for BMW to be good at).
Even upcoming M4 with 500hp is lagging the C' by 7 years on power ... but still expected to be faster on track. MB also have much more powerful (and track focused cars, but way more costly) so people tend to imaging 'their car' (aka what they are fanboiing about) is the biggest engine, fastest track time, best space .etc. and then compare it to a single other car (and always get mad if somebody then does the same with i.e. BMW and add in their MCs).
TH-cam have def. multiplied the arsehole factor across the board ... which has kept me away from some cars I actually wanted, but where the public image is been destroyed.
@@goguhu i saw someone once post in reply to 'the m3 is the quicker track car' there are no tracks on my way to work.
0:30 revving a cold engine.. not good.
Merc had the suspension in "Shopping Trolley" mode
and the m3 has the looks in 'everybody's got one mode'.
Merc is a heritage racecar brand, it takes a real car person to truly appreciate the Benz and AMG styling.
Had both of them. The Merc has incredible power and sounds great, very good as a daily car. Bmw also sounds good, but sometimes you can feel the lack of torque, i had the manual transmision and in the city it's a little bit tough to drive but on a twisty road, my god, it's heaven. Overall my pick it's the m3. Superior handling with a great feel to the driver and a better interior quality.
0.27 RIP rod bearings
just fast foward the video and remind me to watch as soon as your reach the C63 i love to see 63
That M3 sound is next level..
I prefer the Merc. That AMG V8 sounds sooooo much better.
C63 engine is too big and I'm sure you wont like the fuel consumption.ld rather go for M3
How the fuck thinks about fuel consumption when buying a V8 sportscar?
Love amg and m, both divisions make fantastic cars. I own that e92 m3 and it is epic.
Got me self an M3 E93 Convertible 2011...fully loaded in monti carlo blue, best colour, best ever m3 i have had, and i have had few....Will never sell this animal..thanks 5th gear....
Great drivers having fun. Good to watch.
BMW - Shhheear Driving Pleasure
Merc - Deja Vu! I've been at this place before!
i see a c63 once every two months on the road, an m3 or two every week, there's less nissan jukes about than the (everybody's got one) m3.
which one do YOU actually drive?, and having a picture of one doesn't count as driving.
I see tons of c63 on the roads that’s how much young men love them and I have yet to see 1 M3.
What fucking roads you driving in lol
I see many E63's and some C63's but only some fuckboys in m3's, probably at the workshop
Have you been to Cali
That’s all we drive over here
C63 carries a Drug dealer stigma, Same as the F80 M3 .. rare to see any of the previous N/A m3’s on the road with real drivers behind the wheel.. S65 is a great engine, minus the rod bearing issue .last of the Real V8’s imo ..
WHEW! Glad I have the M3. :D
So dated the Merc,the M3 still looks modern
That’s because bmw never changes their design
The BMW used fake engine noise do not a real car 💀
@@markismays2764 A lot of car manufacturers do actually. The E92 M3? Not really.
abraham G the m3 in this video has fake engine noise that is played through the speakers. This is not debatable it is a fact. Mercedes on the other hand hadn’t done that until 2018
@@markismays2764 The new m3 has fake engine noises, this one does not and does not need it..
Interesting how in Britain, the Benz was more expensive. Here in Brazil, the Benz was considerably cheaper than the M3 and, as a result, sold like hot cakes.
The bimmer looks so much better.
1:01 That's an entrance😂😂
The sound & the front fascia of the e92 M3 makes it waaaaay cooler than the w204
There Yuppie is what they are . . . . Stay Frosty 🥶
Great video. I'll find out in 2 days if i'm getting an E92 M3 or not, having one inspected by BMW, and if its good, it's mine.
Did you end up getting it ?
@@anttheman6370 I did!
@@empire0how’s it been
BMW all substance, Merc all style. I'll take one of each
I love V8 sound, both car amazing
Top gear did a similar test at Paul Ricard and the C63 was 4 or 5 sec a lap slower than the M3.
ye and also the rs4 got a similar time to the c63, which shows how well the m3 handles
you guys are freaking hilarious!!
Please do an M4 vs C63 test....very curious (2015 if possible).
When you guys do comparisons, are both cars typically stock or do u open up the SW mods?!
@Clarke Lewiss I have an M4, pretty sure I know the difference.
2 door car vs full family 4 door sedan xD
As a weekend car who could resist the bellow of a c 63
This is now my car
Wow !! Out of the repair shop long enough to test... impressive..
grabir01 And here my friends, we have the typical "American Hillbilly". It likes to stay in the warm climates of America, but doesn't go below into the country Mexico.
Experts say that they are horned by their leader (called Donald Duc *hrrm* excuse me, Donald Trump, duck is a different animal) to not go down below that border of America as new genes could damage the specie and turn it into a human.
They are to be watched from a distance as they tend to be mindlessly aggressive towards foreign species or humans. Many of them live inside abandoned RV's left behind by humans. Inside there, you can see them mate with their cousins if watched at night. Some experts say this is the reason to why they hate everything foreign, it just doesn't look "like family" to them. This has been Nat GEO Wild with todays episode: The Inbredicuious-rex.
We're sorry for any spelling mistakes, our editing team decided to edit this at a ridiculous time in the middle of the night
grabir01 Wait... i'm not German, if that's what you're implying. I live in the country of the Å, Ä and Ö. Your practices in trying to offend me is futile! Btw, why the hate?! I'm just making a documentary =,(
My C63 was 100% reliable in the 5 years I owned it. Just traded up to a Carrera S. I have owned Hondas, family has owned Toyotas and Datsuns. This is my 4th German car and I have no regrets. But I loved the old 6.2L so when I saw this vid I wanted to hear that engine again. Then I see this bigoted drivel. I live about as far south in the US as you can get by the way. Trump is a joke and if you were actually well informed you would know that even his own party is against him. But many people fear that Hillary is worse. So it's a sore subject here either way and that makes it an easy target for some keyboard commando to take shots at Americans. Great job! I see the same things posted on almost every car video now and it's so tired. You're both just rehashing cliches or stereotypes.
VisualWarp I have owned Mercedes both in Germany and in USA. Dating back to the 1960's. These new Mercs are Shit.. Period. I will not own another new Merc. No way !!
Tobias Belz Since when is Islam a race? You sure are stupid.
I do not see the guy in the Mercedes using manual , he was not using the paddles , why do people race these cars without using them ? I love using mine . When in manual , you use all the power the car has to give . There are three settings Comfort mode , slow for the snow and rain , Sport mode , releases more power and manual , releases all power .
M-power!!!!!!!!!!! No mercy!!!!!!!!
Amg All Ms Gangster
C63 amg v8 biturbo my fav car
lost it's noise, though.
And this video is helpful coz I drive at the top speed and drift my car everyday...
1:38 revvs the engine while cold. Reduced rev limiter indicates it. Poor judgement, fifth gear..
It's Not The Car, It's the Driver - Dominic Toretto.
Great video. Could have been even better without tiffffff. Ufff.
The engine wasn't warm enough on the M3! The red maker hadn't dropped down on the rev counter! 🤯
Both amazing cars
which year models are these two beasts can anyone help me
1:02 - the only thing that came into my mind watching this scene is that they stand too close to each other - Look what 2020 has done to my brain!
We want to see a drag race
w204’s will never age
C63 loooks way better sounds better and better car overall
what year was this video?
C63 is a one wheel peeler with that open diff
Little 2 doors are cool. Little 4 doors not so much.
Why are they comparing a sedan with a coupe
automatic vs manual is not fair.
Tiff is the guy who teaches drift guys :p
///M Power, BMW is KING...
I'm not going to be buying a car based on these tests.
like you could ever afford either one
They weights and powered differently
Are these videos recorded several years before they are uploaded to TH-cam?
Ok i have the opportunity to buy one of these right now which one do i take ? Please help 🙋🏽♂️
M3 c63 too soft
So, we all can afford to wreck a set of very expensive Tyres can we.....?
Peter Cavellini its a car video you prat. Not every day driving. Bet your wife loves your humour...
BECAUSE BMW M3! 👍
ABOUT BMW M3 VS MERCEDES BENZ C63 AMG
C63 IS MORE COMFORTABLE TO DRIVE ON THE ROAD,
M3 IS PURE HIGH PERFORMANCE SPORT CAR, GOT MORE BETTER TRACTION CONTROL, ESPECIALLY 4.0L V-8 HIGH PERFORMANCE ENGINE BUT DOES MEAN C63 IS NO GOOD ! IF C63 AMG HAVE AWD ( 4-MOTION )SYSTEM COULD BE MORE BETTER M3 ! GET MORE TRACTION CONTROL WILL BE MORE EASY TO DRIVE !
C63 does not have LSD...
It is simple... at its best car of that category will spend less 1% of its existence on the track - BMW is precise but has no chance against C63 brutal power. C63 sounds better, rides better, it is arguable but looks better, it is more fun to drive and it is quicker and faster - it is the better everyday car.
Then how it loses on track and everyday car that car will kill ya lol
The M3 looks better.
Merobieboy lel
Sounds also better imo. the ENGINE sound, not an shitty exhaust sound. They should get that 4 litre v8 back :(
Merobieboy it kinda do but Mercedes is faster on paper
Kongelean Doucet mercedes handles so bad, hard to drive. Thats the problem.
In a straight Line Yes Mercedes Is faster but the overall handling is pure shit, BMW can put more power to it but it will make the car literally useless to drive
Wonder how long we'll see new V8s being produced by the big Germans. It's all down sizing and turbos now. Faster and more economical, but no drama now :(
Guess you got your answer now
@@RoyalTube1Abid Unfortunately yes :(
@@RoyalTube1Abid Unfortunately yes :(
you guys have the best job in the world !
BMW all the way
I like both Mercedes and BMW but I would take the BMW for track use and for anything for performance. Mercedes for daily use.
AMG sofőrje szèt dreeftelte a Mercedest vègig keresztbe ment.Jatszott az autóval és nem versenyzett ,ha olyan pilot vezeti aki versenyzik és nem játszik dreeftet akkor a AMG C63 le is körözi a e92 BMW-T
these are only available second hand as bm merc stopped making them years ago. f*ckin repeats
Read the f*ckin description
C63 has no LSD though....
its not the car is the driver...
E92 has no torque to save its life
No one buying these cars cares if the m3 is slightly faster around a track, these cars a used for the road. C63 does everything else better AMG>M line
BMW M3 IS BETER
Should have been c63 coupe
Come on the merc is a 4 door
M3 too common, C63 better by far
Daniel Kidd disagree
C63 is way more common in England
Completely oposite in Portugal. 1 million M3's to 1 C63. I guess the taxes on big engines really play a role.
Amg rarer by far. See m3s all the time, nearly as common as a Ford fiesta
@@richboy900 I think ur confusing a 3 series coupe with the m3.
This guy of Benz; seems like he doesn't know how to drive that Machine
U do know tiff is one of the best drivers there is, the c63 just dosent handle that well, it didnt even have a limited slip diff
It should've been sedan not a coupe wasn't fair
If the c63 not drifting in the corner the m3 still behind it and be the winer 😉👇💪
Aufrecht Melcher Grossaspach ever
C63 baby but shouldn’t it be compared with a m4?. If the Mercedes driver wasn’t drifting soo much and decreasing speed it would fuck the bmw
Avete messo una auto con differenziale autobloccante, gomme opzionali da 19 e soprattutto cambio meccanico contro una con i 18 con l'automatico e senza autobloccante
Non avete giocato alla pari
Facciamola tutte e due con i 19,tutte e due con l'autobloccante e tutte e due col cambio automatico
Poi vediamo come va a finire 😊
The Best or nothing
I prefer the Mercedes !
What's wrong with bmws now....they are not as superior as they were back then
