Now place a F80 and a C63 side by side. Purely from an aesthetics stand point, F80 is the better looking sports sedan. Sometimes power isn't everything. I initially the F80 over the C63 due to the fuel economy, more than adequate power, and the better design (why the c63 does not have widened rear flares is beyond me). Now, a AMG GTs/R? I'll take that all day long over any of BMW's offerings, dare I say past or present.
It's all a question of taste I would say. Some like the sleeper look of the AMG, others prefer the more extrovert look of the M3-4... About the AMG GT R. I personally prefer the look of the i8, but I wish they'd make an M car out of it with a v8 biturbo and no batteries. It would have been a fantastic supercar, worthy successor of the M1...
