Garage List
The 335is runs 13.1 stock with 320hp and 332lb/ft of torque with the DCT. Nice stock exhaust also. (although the rumble of the NA V8 from the C63 is something else...)

One of my good friends has a C63 and LOVES the car... but he says it is truly just a ridiculous machine. You really need to be a top notch driver to handle that beast!! In a different league than my car, but my friend came from a 335i (non-sport) and says that the 335is (after driving mine a bit) is one hell of a machine (even comparing to his car, he misses the 3er a bit and see's how the 335is really is a faster and better car than a stock 335i even if only slightly).

With a JB4 tune and DCI you should be able to hang with a C63 (maybe not be faster or as fast, but definitely hang), and unless the driver of the AMG is one hell of a driver, than handling on the BMW is far superior to the german muscle car. If you are planning to spend some money with Dinan or Cobb, you may very well be able to surpass the C63 in performance numbers.

Best of luck with your decision! Any car of this caliber is a great one to have!
