Some facts for you...

 The official pre-production 0-100kph (not 0-60mph) figures for both the C32 and M3 are identical at 5.2 seconds.Go to Edmunds.com and check the resale value of a '95 M3 and a '95 C36. The C36 is higher, even when you consider the tradein or retail value as a percentage of the original purchase price.Check the reliability of 3-series vs C-class, the C-class is better.M-B actually sells more vehicles in the U.S. than BMW. They have every year since 1997.

Not really both are great cars and decision would come down to individual preferences..

As for the new M3, I would rather have a na straight six than the supercharged engine. I think Mercedes needs to build the C36 from the ground up instead of just trying to play catch up with BMW. To be honest, I don't think they are that concerned about the category as they have never really competed with the M3 in terms of volume.

whooo whee, we do have a bunch of idiots here don't we? anyway i agree with the original author. M3 is the way to go. BMW does not need another company to make super cars, like AMG> Bmw does not need to create sky high prices. BMW is for those who want performance, luxury, and overall good car. Mercedes is for older people, who want luxury, and some semblance of performace. e 55-slushbox transmission, ugly styling, ugly exhaust, good performance. m5-perfect gearbox, perfect brakes, lovely styling, great quad exhaust, supreme performance. man what editor would want the e55 over the m5. man if i were to spend 80G's on a car, i want to do the shifiting, not some funky computer that trips over its own gears.

hye buddy, i am buying an M3 cuz of its performance, not cuz of its luxury you idiot. yeah auto is a luxury, if i wanted a luxury car i would have gotten myself a 750il. but i want a sports car, so i chose the m3. besides clk's are for old guys with shriveled nuts. you will never see a young person openly admit to driving a clk. also you will never see an old guy in an m3. AMG blows, all they make are large, powerful engines while M makes smooth, powerful, engines. inline is the way to go, not some behemouth v-8. besides a CLK 55 looks like every other clk, what are the diff? M3 comes with 18 tires, 19 optional clk 17. m3 gearbox SPORTY 6 speed. CLK shrived nut shifter, m3 brakes supreme m5 brakes CLK typical brakes. besides how good are you going to feel when someone plucks your little mercedes symbol off your hood. also m3 can be highly modified with companies such as dinan, AC Schintzer, ECIS, Hartge, Bekker, AA TUrbo, Jim Conforti,and sharked. what can the CLK do? nothing its been modified to its limits, it can't go further. the m3 is only at the beginning it can be so modified it can break 400 hp. has any benz owner every dynoed their car> no, cuz its pointless, they are weak. hey anyone know the prices of yeah CLK 55-70G's stock, M3-49500 stock. hey i think i will buy the m3, and used the 20G's and modifiy it even more. : : whooo whee, we do have a bunch of idiots here don't we? anyway i agree with the original author.

The point is BMW are still cheap. MB are high end. Ferrari, Aston Martin , and MB. No BMW in this league. Yes BMW is still performance superior than Aston Martin, but who the fuck is BMW. A car owned by obnoxious and ignorant people. It's in the same league as the rice burners. You are a complete idiot.

Now who is the Idiot???

Where do I start with you... Have you ever heard of Renn Tech or say maybe Brabus... Look it up moron. How do you feel about a four dour sedan that runs into a limiter at 225 MPH, it doesnt run out of power, it could go faster, it is electronicly governed. No BMW will ever compete with a Mercedes, The Benz doesnt need to bother to sink to it's level. I am 22 Years old and I drive a S 500. Does that make me old??? Do I have shriveled Nuts... All I have to do is pull up to a club get out of the car and girls are on me like flys on shit. Unlike any BMW where the basic styling has stayed mostly the same for like 10 years they are a dime a dozen. None of them can even begin to compare to even the Smallest Benz the C class. If you dont like them then that is you and you just dont understand the Surpreme luxury, Style, and Image associated with such vehicles, such understandings are reserved for the top class of our socity... It would appear as though you dont qualify. All AMG makes is large powerful engins??? what are you retarded... They make some of the most refined engines on this planet. They are smooth quiet and powerful. It is people like you who drive around fucking lawnmowers with more cubic inches in your muffler than under you hood. I really dont have the time to waste responding to the rest of your post where you just make absurd claims and do not bother to back up any of them.PS. The 740iL is not a Luxury car it can just seat more people than the 3 Series. Another out of date piece of junk. I you want to be cheap and buy a sports car get yourself a vet.PPS AMG is owned by Mercedes. they dont need another company to make their cars they make them.: hye buddy, i am buying an M3 cuz of its performance, not cuz of its luxury you idiot. yeah auto is a luxury, if i wanted a luxury car i would have gotten myself a 750il. but i want a sports car, so i chose the m3. besides clk's are for old guys with shriveled nuts. you will never see a young person openly admit to driving a clk. also you will never see an old guy in an m3.

I agree

Mercedes may be luxo but BMW is an all rounder. Its comfortable and sporty. Infact BMW is creating a whole breed of new drivers... I have a 2001 740il and a 2001 s500.. in the middle east. But its the keys for the 740il that i fight for with my dad when we have to go to the business....Anyway I'm not saying that the merc is bad either, they are both good cars, but I think BMW is a finer car in the end, because of all teh accolades.. Look at the X5 its really kickin ml ass......Look at the m5 is beating e55 all the way. The m3 will kick c36's ass for sure, it already has killer looks..... We'll have to wait a bit longer and see what the new 7's are like....

Secondly, the Mercedes C32 isn't even available here in the US yet, but the CLK55 is more the direct competitor to the M3, as both are coupes. The MB is better styled, has MUCH better resale value, is more comfortable, has MUCH better image (BMW 3-series seems to say "yuppie rich parents bought this for me".

cheap in price but not performance or quality, mbz just doesn't have what it takes. They have evolved into an over priced GRANNY tourer!

Guest · Mar 14, 2001

First of all, i would like to say that M3 are the shit.....i had a 96 M3.....it was actually ownes by Aaron Neuman of Neuspeed, before me. I have to say that i had a lot of fun with that car. Also the mods, available for the M3 comes relatively cheaper than the Mb'z.....a lot more options, instead of a engine transplant of some redically priced Brabus 5.0 or Amg kompressor, etc.....stupid shit, wit the e36 M3 you can just about do anything to it.and the best thing is that it comes powerful enough to smoke the rice rockets of today, for those who have a tight budget. But i got to give the c46 its proper recognition.one of my friends drives a 98AMG c46. And he used to smoke me all the time. Low end, high end didnt matter he smoked me. But i have traded in my M3 for a 00' prelude SH, dont laugh...i traded it in with one intention..........TURBO..i have spent over 20,000 in mods. No Fmax or Drag......but fully custom fabricated TDo4-Apexi intercooler, blowoff, HKS waste gasket, Jg throttle body....aem cams.....Vafc, 9 puck clutch, apexi N1 exhaust, MSD ignition, Blitz sbci-d, black widow kit, RH M5 rims wrapped in parada....yes the full 9 yards......and i gotta say i smoke E36 like nothing.....hahahaha, even my friends c46 suffered the wrath of the rising sun......but one last input....i have already ordered my e46 M3.....coming this Nov.DOPE ASS P-LUDE

Guest · Mar 21, 2001

I completely agree. The E46 M3 is AWESOME. So much better than the Mercedes. Not to say the MBZ is a piece of junk, but I strongly support the M3. E46 is faster, cheaper, better looking, sounding, more exclusive, nicer interior, performs better in ALL aspects, etc. It's got everything. I own both benz but i love BMW. Benz isnt all that bad, just BMW slaughters. Some might like the C32 just because Benz used to be the most prestigeous, but the BMW proves itself better. I have to say again, BMW slaughters, simply too good for the C32. Not to boast, but i know SOOOO much about cars. The M3 is a clear winner.
