E63??? vs E92. . .
Like E63 AMG Mercedes? I would go with that all day for sure. 507hp E63 6 series coupe or convertable . . . I would go with a nice modded E92 or E93 for sure |

E92. I don't even want to know what you pay for gas there, but its a big factor when deciding which vehicle to purchase.

E92 3 series is w/e car now it drives nice and really affordable as my bro has it. if your talking about m3vs 650 then its more what your into.Looks is def 650 but speed def m3. IF both then M6 lol FTW

But personally, an E92 is by no means a "weekend car". It's a day-to-day car. Get the 6 series, ONLY if you can afford it. No point in leasing or owning one if all you're going to do is use it 2/7 days each week. |

are you considering a normal E92 or an M3? That is a much fairer comparison I think. Between normal E92 and E63 i'd go with the 6 in a heart beat. Good luck shopping!

I would get the post-FL e63, but not pre-FL (looks outdated imo).

My dad gets about 18mpg in his 645Ci and he doesn't drive that aggressively.

By the way the e63 feels much less sporty and far more detatched just so ya know.

1) By detatched I mean that when you drive the car, you just don't feel as connected to the road, and the engine feels very isolated. The ride is much smoother, but the steering and the noise is all very different. It's refined, but at the same time a bit less exciting. 2) The exterior/interior recieved "minor" tweaking as is usual of facelifts, but I always seem to think of them as MAJOR improvements. -The front and rear bumpers have been tweaked to flow better. -The lights have recieved updated LED tech and have removed the amber. -The wheels look better. -The interior is made of better quality materials and flows better.
