The biggest thing the 135i has over the C63 is it's no where near as thirsty on fuel. The FI I6 is way easier to live with. I know a lot of people say "if you can afford a C63..." but the reality is if it is your daily and you drive it everywhere, those costs do add up. It really isn't even close.
Besides that, I think the C63 is a wicked car. If I had one I'd go to town on mods and make it into a beast. I still think a 135i/1M is more focussed on track car and easier to handle, but I'd happily own a C63. As much as I respect the M3 I'd pick a C63 over one every day. Not taking anything away from the M3, just think the C63 takes this one. Next M3 will be interesting though.
