The CLS has 70 hp less looks about right.

There are few threads on this that clearly can articulate the differences better than I can... basically the MCT is a planetary automatic with no TQ converter with the DCT is a true dual clutch manual with no clutch:

No, the BMW is already on 22psi..it can't take much more.

PP CLS(Normal)>M5
Tuned CLS>Tune M5

im pretty sure they were both the same non pp cls in gustavs races,

the pp cls would have walked away from the panamera like the m5 did.

I'd definitely go with the CLS63 AMG PP cuz it's a BEAST !!

I just wish mercedes could upgrade the navigation screens and add a heads up display. It seems like BMW, Audi, and Lexus are going crazy with high tech, high resolution large screen but mercedes isn't

MBs command system has always been inferior IMO...especially compared to the Japanese....

Although major improvements were made on the CLS 2012...its still behind.
But hey...we do have ECO start and all...
