Well, I now have over 1,250 mi. in almost the first 2 weeks now, and haven't noticed that it's any worse than the 335i...at least not yet. It does feel much more confident than the BMW 335i...the AMG suspension with coil-overs and such help tremendously; there's very little body roll like my 335i had when I took "higher speed" turns like on on/off ramps. It may not be quite up to the handling specs of an M3, but it's got to be close. In addition, the C63 AMG has huge AMG/Brembro brakes with 14.2in. front drilled rotors & 13in. rear drilled rotors.

Yep, as amgthis said, I did not get the Perf. Package, although I was really considering it mainly for the LSD...but no PP. I can always add either a Quaife LSD or OS Giken LSD if I feel like I really need it, but chances are for typical DD, it won't be necessary.
