C43 AMG felt more like a GT car. Definitely has more road presence IMHO and had good power but was close to 80k Canadian after taxes and delivery.
The M240i IMHO was more fun and felt like it had more power and was 25k cheaper which made the decision super easy. Also wife was happy with the price.  |
Yeah, I had to looks up the C43 AMG numbers after I posted and it looks like it's a hair slower than the M240. I would guess the reason being is because it's 300+ pounds heavier.
I would take the Merc is I was looking at the M3/C63 though. The V8 is appealing and I like the interior better. I would probably take the ATS-V over the M3 as well. A buddy has one of those and I love the way that thing drives, even if it's a tiny bit rough around the edges.
