Interior is too simple for a car worth over 60k...
Exterior is nice and sleek which is nice...Rear end could have been more updated.....
Overall id rate it a 7...Bmw is losing my respect, and I think there losing the race vs. Mercedes....The only BMW that has my respect is the M5 and also the 7 Series.

I agree there too! The interior looks CHEAP and I hate the curved top to the nav screen - combined with the curved top of the instrument display the top of the dash is like a landscape of hills. 
Well I think the new C63 is really over the top and not in a good way.

hmm well here is how I see it in BMW vs MERCEDES
3 Series > C-class
M3 Sedan < C63 Sedan
M3 coupe > CLK63
SLK = Z4 Pretty similar to me.
Z4 M coupe < Slk 55 amg
5 Series < E-class
M5 500hp = E63 507hp (In love with the front end of benz, although I love the M5 as well)
6 Series < CL550
M6 < CL63
7 Series < S-class (ANYDAY)
Alpina B7 < S63 or S65
or what would match up with the CLS (which is BEAUTIFUL)
It could be that I am more of a Benz lover but i dnno. Just my opinion.
Just to sum up how I feel about the stiff competition...
I just feel that BMW and Mercedes were much more similar in the late 90s to early 01 02. But now in 07+. It seems to me as if BMW is slightly losing the competition. Mercedes is just looking and performing better to me.

Probably one of two things. Either an aftermarket speaker, or somebody at the factory goofed and didn't get the assembly right. German cars are known for second-rate electronics.

I have to agree. This interior, at least from the shot in the picture, despite its 60K price tag, would make that of an old Army Jeep look plush in contrast. But I won't make any more blanket statements without seeing it in person.
