Out of your choices I would take the M3 Jim, I think it has the best pedigree and is likely the most sorted with regard to development over the years.

One vote for the Audi - better screwed together than the other two and a serious piece of kit!

AMG - but for one reason only. The noise they make. Fantastic.
1. Think of something witty and urbane 2. Imagine it written here

RS5 or Merc for me, with the Audi just pipping the C63. I love the shape if the basic A5 and the RS5 look absolutely mental in the flesh. Check out rs246 or SRS for owners feedback.

C63 every time. Been at a family bbq today and the mrs' uncle turned up in his E63. The sound the engine makes is just something else. Wouldn't let me drive it though

I personally think the BMW is the best all rounder and a real drivers car. The AMG, as a few people say above the sound is FANTASTIC, but not as 'involved' as the M3. Dont know too much about the Audi if im being honest, they do look smart though. So, for me it would be first choice V8 M3, followed by the AMG. I think you just need to take them all for a test drive, make sure you can get a good extended test drive in the M3 for some good bonding time.
Now in the 400+ bhp club!

M3 is available at 0% apr in the UK at the mo. Funnily enough i was recently considering the following; E63 AMG or M3. But what i am going to plump for is Italian Coupe not German barge! Still italian and the absolute bollox!

Oh wow, lovely!! Does it have back seats? You can even pretend you're driving an LE coop in this red leather trim.

Jimbo why don't you plump for some American muscle? They looked fairly readily available last time I was over and you can have a European car anytime, but it's rare you'll get a right hook yank tank back in blighty?

"Bubble burts"
I think I'd feel a bit small in a 3 series. How'd you manage in that Scirocco? I had a landrover sport ans a 500 sel at my disposal and both of those were shrunk next to some of those stonking V8 trucks etc. Although I am looking forward to the next round in October where I once again have to take on those damn 6 lane roads....
Any way how about an RS7 (bit more people carrying capacity) or does it have to be 2 doors?

Test drove a 2011 red RS6 today, wowzers, a 5ltr V10 bi-turbo. It feels a much smaller car than it physically is. Power delivery is linear, insanely linear, it's only just coming on song at 120 and will just keep on pulling!
Spec is awesome, electric everything, lots of room in the rear too.
Viewed an RS5 which had surprisingly no room in the rear at all, and I'm serious, the Scirocco has more rear leg room than the RS5!!
Hmmmm

C6 RS6 are absolute monsters Jimbo. There are a fair few in the uk running only exhaust mods and a remap for 750bhp and 900nm
