It's not so much I hate the design of the BMW. just dealer support. my brother in law bought a cert. pre owned X5 3.0 out of state brought it back home and wanted some basic under warrenty stuff done to it. THEY GAVE HIM SHIT. finally he ended up selling the X5 finally just cause the dealer a giant douche got a new Aspen. So due to dealer network i'd go with a new C63.

I went and checked out the XF at the dealership. It is sweet. I would buy one if I liked 4 door cars. Used of course 
But seriously, the interior is gorgeous and I love touch screen nav. YOu can keep at least 3-4 dead bodies in the trunk.

ok i just saw a black c63 on the road, in addition to the is-f and m3. looks cool, sounds good, but i gotta rant that it's idiotic to make an amg version of every single model. i see new and old amg's left and right around la and there are so many i can't tell what the frick model they originated from and it lessens the exclusitivity. there are far less m's on the road (around here) although there are a ton more beemers. ...but if anyone wants to give away a c63, i'll take it 
...and trade it in for an m3

i still like the old e39 M5 for some reason... classic bmw styling. new ones are nice too but i'm not a fan of the V-10... probably would rather have an NA V8 like in a 550i or M3... the 535i (twin turbo v6) is actually faster than 550i so maybe that'd be an even better choice. throw $1000 down on a new juice box 2 and it's almost faster than the M3

I don't really see why the F430 is in this comparison. Sure it's not the fastest in a straight line, but put it on the track where it belongs and it will dump on these BMWs and Mercedes. Plus there is that whole "I drove a Ferrari baller factor", which neither the BMWs nor the Mercedes give off.

Still...i'd be pretty pissed if I pulled up next to a 6,000lb luxury sedan with power everything, heated/cooled seats, night-vision, reclining rear seats, 25 speaker sound system and lose in the ferrari
