my C350 has memory seats and tilt steering... you should have waited for the 09 model

the gtr is in a different league. it's much faster, much better handling, but you also find next to nothing luxury about it. it's a pure sport car, very different from the m3 and c63. not to mention in current market the gtr is still substantially more expensive than the other 2 cars.

the c63 is a nice car, nice exhaust tone and the raw power is amazing. however i am not a fan of that car at all. interior quality is not really up to mb luxury standard imho, a lot of corner cutting on materials and finish. the m3 finish is much better imho

the c63 also doesn't handle that way, the front is so heavy, not balance at all. the m3 handling is amazing comparing to the c63.

the m3 08 leftover is also at deep discount right now, i have seen a few selling for under invoice. if you lease, that's a pretty good options. same with mb, lease, i wouldn't purchase these cars

so many decisions to make. I've been looking at these cars and found the same that rominl listed. The M3 handles much better than the C63. The GTR can be had according to members of nagtroc at msrp, so the price variance between the Nissan and the M3 is about $15k-$20k.

considering m3 around 63-65k, and gtr at 80k (thus the 15-20k difference), that's still a pretty big difference. you really need to think about what you want from the car, pure performance with little luxury, or a blend of both

my friend has a saks fifth edition and it didnt come with HID's if i remember correctly.
do you mind sharing what you paid for the car and how long ago this was? Also options would be helpful.

I'm really going back and forth on this and finding it very difficult. I could spend a little more and get the following:

GT-R - $15k more
CLK63 - $20k more

I know my gf's gonna slap me when she finds out what I am about to spend on another car.

it's personal preference of course, but i'd definitely not spend an extra 20k to get a clk63. it's another c class imho. i'd easily pick the e93
