BMW M3 Touring vs. Mercedes-AMG C 63 Estate: Which is Faster?

In this comparison between the BMW M3 Touring and the Mercedes-AMG C 63 Estate, we pit two of the world's fastest family cars against each other. They share size, body type, and high performance, but what's under the hood is radically different.

The BMW M3 Touring is equipped with a six-cylinder inline petrol engine with a three-litre displacement, delivering 510 horsepower and 650 Nm of torque. Without any electrification, it is paired with an automatic torque converter gearbox and an all-wheel-drive system, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.6 seconds and reaching a top speed of 280 km/h.

The Mercedes-AMG C 63 E Performance Estate uses a less traditional system, incorporating electrification with a plug-in hybrid propulsion system focused on maximizing performance rather than sustainability. It combines a four-cylinder, two-litre petrol engine producing 476 horsepower with a 204 horsepower electric motor. Also automatic and all-wheel-drive, it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds and has a top speed of 280 km/h.

Which offers better sensations? Which is faster on the track? Is all the technology in the Mercedes worth it, or is a more traditional engine like the BMW's sufficient? The answers to these and other questions can be found in the video.
