The multilink front and rear suspension setups have been heavily massaged to keep the car planted and body roll to a minimum. That includes a wider track, a heavy dose of aluminum, an available three-stage adjustable setup, and AMG-specific (and as-yet-unspecified) tuning. A mechanical locking rear differential is standard; the S version gets an ultraquick electronically locking diff."
"In the S [Model], the M177 rides on dynamic engine mounts like those of the AMG GT, which adjust their stiffness according to driving style to either isolate engine noise and vibration (softer) or minimize engine movement (firmer)."

We all saw that at the end of the previous generation, the C63 not only has the M3's number in a straight but on track they were neck and neck with the C63 having a bit of advantage in times. The suspension tech they are working into this generation from the AMG GT which likely comes from the SLS Black is only going to be a huge benefit. I have a feeling the M3/4 are going to be surpassed in all facets of performance and handling, not to mention a much higher quality product overall.
