C63 = M3

Ask any c63 owner if they think the c43 is a real AMG or ask the same question to a e63 owner about the e53. It would look a lot like this conversation.
I disagree, as there is historical precedent for Mercedes having multiple levels of AMG car sitting on the same chassis.

In the 90’s we had the SL300/SL500/SL600 non-AMG cars and then the SL55 AMG and the SL65 AMG. Both 55 and 65 models were full on AMG, just like the CL55/CL65 and the S55/S65 were all AMG cars.
