C63 has to be the best sedan under $80k.

I have yet to figure out how the interior of my mother's previous 2001 C320 had a better looking interior, not to mention a lot more wood trim

I personally prefer the interior for the C63 over both the IS-F and the M3. The obvious choice for best interior is by far the RS4.

In terms of exterior it would be C63, RS4, M3, IS-F.

C63 is a monster, but all the car mags i've read rate the M higher especially around a track. Although you can't go wrong with either.

Most-Wanted has a reputation beyond repute

The good thing is if we wait 2 months you'll be able to buy a used one for about $40k

LOL... All kidding aside, I love it but the interior. I thought about trading in the E63 for it, but no can do. I really think they dropped the ball on the interior.

It better be $60k. For $80k, you can buy a brand new E63 like this one:

True. The M3 is the handler but the C63 supposedly has more character and higher fun factor, plus it is an automatic so it should be better for daily driving and getting caught in the L.A. traffic. For me, I have the GT3 for the twisties so the C63 should be a good complement.

I am also looking forward to doing some mods to bring up the power a little. Perhaps around 520HP should not be out of the question with exhaust and chip?
