BMW M3 vs. Cadillac ATS-V Sedan vs. Mercedes-AMG C63 S Comparison Four-Door Miracles: The State of the Art is on Fire Do you remember exactly when it was that cars—high-performance sedans in this case—got so dang good? I don't. The BMW M3, yeah, sure, that has always been special. Other carmakers have taken furtive jabs at the M3, but no one seemed willing to put in the development time necessary to deliver the knockout blow. Every once in a while a muscular middleweight rose up to challenge the Bavarian champ—Audi's exquisitely lunatic B7 RS4 springs to mind—but then BMW's boffins would tweak the formula and wind up back on top. Mercedes' in-house gang of maniacs (aka AMG) has done admirable work on the previous iterations of the C63. But should you find yourself at a track with the choice of the M3 or last-gen C63, we all know which you'll choose. Unless all you care about are burnouts. Other cars were loads of fun, but at the end of the day, those obsessed with all aspects of performance voted BMW. That, however, was yesterday. Today AMG and Cadillac each want a shot at the M3's title. And one—or both—might have padded their gloves with lead. Read on and see who wins here Cadzilla!
