Fun video to watch. Personally, I think I would end up buying the RS4. I like the styling, the drive train, and the engine noise the best. Although the C63 was the fastest in a drag race, I think it would be slower on a track due to its mass.

It was a very good comparison to me but I agree with VTI that this season wasn't as interesting as the older series before. the staff are kinda repeating themselves (as i see it).
but the M3 proved its strength on the track by beating the C63 & the RS4 by nearly 5 seconds (I am a little biased to BMW)
BTW does anyone know what the track was?

You guys are knobs. The C63 was the only car that mattered in that comparison. Why? Mercedes is the only company with enough balls to make a car that nuts.

Pretty good comparo. I liked this. I don't have anything against Top Gear. Actually, I like to watch the episodes on Youtube.I just like the comedy involved in TG. What made me laught the most is when Hamster gets the broke the ****-o-meter.lol
The best car out of the whole thing was the C63 AMG. Its probably the craziest AMG made right now. It seems like it will rip your head right off of your shoulders.

Could it be that Top Gear is actually telling the truth about automobiles and their drivers? After that Jeremy Clarkson+M3 bit, I would say that they are spot on!
Fun to watch and if it were me, I would take the AMG.

LOL, loved the fact that when Jeremy drove the M3, he had wore those clothing that BMW drivers would wear... soo unexpected.
Then again, who wouldn't want to be on the edge of death with that huge muscular V8 AMG has produced.

I also saw it & i would buy the C-Class AMG as the RS4 is going out of production and the RS6 is coming out & the M3 Would tempt me but not as much as the C-Class would.

MAN..........honestly..........i respect handling...... and i respect a carmakers attention on a car that does so well on track....but PERSONALLY>>>i never drive on track.........and the only exiciting driving i do is.......well...responsible speeding on higways........dont get me wrong.......not street racing.......but...i think the c63 wud be sufficent for me.........i dont need super duper handling for my driving.......therefor.......the c63 wud be perfect for me..........i hate it wen i talk about a car that love...especially an american car.....and people mention how it cant handle well...regardless of their knowledge........because 95% of people dont even take their car to the track......so its handling capabilites are almost useles.......im saying this....because....... top gear did a good job of testing these cars......but it shud never be the determent of what real people should by,,,because very few by these cars for their track oriented performance.......and very few people will get to use their own cars on track.

I love E30, E36, E46 because all them are better than C series but this time C63 Amg:1 vs BMW M3:0 for me. :)
M3 can be faster than C63 on the track.
How often do you drive on a track? :)

I have watched this whole episode, and the production of the whole TG program is astonishing. A buddy of mine and I were talking and nowadays, you dont even see high level movies with that sort of cinematography and high level of production.
About the cars though, this just cements my opinion of the new M3. i loved this thing since it came out. The merc is cool, but the precision and poise of the M3 is unbeatable.
M3 always...

The problem with this is, none the less... 90% of the people who buy these cars NEVER go take it to the track. So usually, city driving/highway driving, all you've got is a straight line. AMG FTW!

90% sounds too much, maybe 80. People who own the M3 will take them to the track but no the C63. It is not a track car. Even M3 isn't really a track car now. It's more like a luxury coupe.

I live in America, but have seen episodes of Top Gear oh youtube. I absolutely love this show. Are there any more sites, more reliable than youtube, to watch episodes?

I watch it on Youtube. Usually, people upload it anyways. Just be sure to watch it on Sunday or Monday as it'll get removed really soon.

I'd take the bimmer, but not because its fastest... but because i love bmw's, so i guess you could call me a fan boy. The two other cars are awesome as well, my second choice would be the merc, i think it looks good despite what clarkson says, its pretty mean looking, and "more practical". I would love to drive the audi, but i wouldnt buy one over the other 2. fun episode, especially the apple part.
