I took a C63S out for a spin in my decision process... Love the low end grunt and the sound from the V8 and the coupe with the wide rear arches and panamericana grill make it a great looker today still... the sedan looks are meh literally identical to a C300

Interior is fine, visually pleasing but from my seat time in G8X last month quality is def higher in the BMW.. then there's the dated infotainment (not MBUX even in FL W205)

I didn't find the ride harsh in my test drive in s+ and race modes, in fact I found the X3M to be firmer.. The greater low end torque did make it feel livelier off the line but I can't recall precisely now. good thing about G8X is some of the tricks (multi stage traction control. lap timer software, etc) from AMG are carbon copied over
