Sequential multi-point fuel injection, no carbon buildup issues with the C63.

The Audi is notorious for carbon buildup. Haven't heard much about BMW, though its also DI.

Out of the 3, I would go C63. Throw in an M3/M5 and Im singing a different tune. That is, if you have no problem with Benz maintenance. Then go for it.

Awesome if the C63 isn't susceptible to it! I like it more and more even though it doesn't have a manual transmission option... Too bad you can almost buy two new G37's for the price of one C63 AMG.

I know about the Audi carbon buildup, and I've seen some ugly pictures on the web of carbon buildup in BMWs with DI (135i, 335i)... It's one of those things that have been stopping me from considering Audis and BMWs seriously over the last few years.

What's the downside of Benz maintenance?

C63 all day. I've driven several, its a beast hands down....unless you'd be willing to consider a CTS-V...then go that way!

If you dont have to have a 4 door I say consider a 2012 Audi TT RS. Ive seen one of these things around town and its amazingly fast. Its about the same price as that used C63. Although thats a car i would buy if I had to have 4 doors.

Alright fellas, here's the update. I've decided to drop the idea of getting a used C63 or a C63 altogether, for right now. So I'm stuck between an Audi S4 or the 335i Sedan. Which would you guys choose? It seems like you guys are leaning towards the S4 more than 335i. Any input as to why?

C63 hands down, just make sure you keep some money saved for rear tires every four months.

Car looks sweet!

I really like white. I think it shows off the lines of the car better. (my current G is white, my C63 on order is Diamond white)

Common, what kind of deal did you get? Options, MSRP, negotiated price.

More pics please!

Thanks Vash. I actually had a black on black on hold at another dealership but I was driving past this dealer and swung around to give them another try (bad experiences in the past). I walked in, saw it, sat with a rep, placed a deposit, wrote the Sold sign on it, locked it up and closed the windows, and all within 45 minutes.

I will take more pics as I'm doing the paperwork tomorrow. More pics will be taken upon delivery as well.

It's the Premium Plus in Ibis White w/Silk Nappa Black Leather. Options: MMI Navigation, 19" 5-spoke peelers, Audi Advanced Key, B&O Sound System, Carbon Fiber Interior Inlays, Sports Rear Limited Slip Differential, Rear Acoustic Parking Sensors and Rear side Airbags

Greetings from then Toronto area!

C63 for sure. The monster V8 at WOT is one of the sweetest sounds you will EVER hear from a stock automobile. Yes, right up there with our V-series engines...

RWD, just a badass street-legal race-car.

The other 2 vehicles are actually more competitors of the G37.
