Its completely dependent on your taste and preferences.
-M6
Pros: Better drivers car, more involving, V10 sounds nice, slightly faster as long as your exceeding the National speed limit.
Cons: broke-d!ck-dog ugly, I-Drive, finicky to get full power and LC only a couple times per hour, slightly faster as long as your exceeding the National speed limit
-CLS55:
Pros: Staggering, effortless torque from just 2600 rpm, more relaxing, easier to drive and get consistent times in drag. Full power always on tap. Gorgous sheetmetal and slit side windows.
Cons: ...thinking....5 Speed Automatic.....um....no Black Birdseye Maple option and no LSD. :p

-CLS63
Pros: 7GTronic which coupled with 465 Lb-Ft equalls greater torque multiplication and output at far less RPM than M6 can even muster at its peak! Only a couple less HP. This will put the smackdown on the only real advantage the M6 has right now.
Cons: None that I can think of, lol!

I just don't think the CLS63 with all it's glorious torque can beat an M6, straight line or not. Remember the M6 is a lighter car.
However, one MORE advantage of the CLS over the M6 is rear passenger room: The M6 has no leg room

Love to see the article

Let me answer your question a little differently. The local MB dealer takes 30-40 BMW's in trade a month. The BMW dealer takes in 5-7 MB's in trade a month. The point, you only have to own several BMW's to get the point.

Did you get a delivery date on the M6?
I just bought a CLS55 (took delivery last week) but I'd take the Bimmer over the Merc if they could deliver it. The problem with BMW is that they can't. I have been on the E60 M5 waiting list for a year and a half and my name won't come up for at least another 6 months (thats why I bought the CLS55). And the M5 is a configurable model on BMWs US website, the M6 isn't. By the time you could get your hands on an M6, Mercedes will have more powerful AMG powered vehicles available.
I prefer the BMW driving experience over the Mercedes. I just went from an E46 M3 w/SMG to this AMG monster and its taking some getting use to.
I love everything about the car except the transmission. I know this is an age old question but why can't Merecedes put a manual or a F1 style gearbox in their high end cars?

finicky to get full power and LC only a couple times per hour
I know I have read this a few places. Does anyone have a link to an actual review that states the power problems when pushing the M5/M6 several times in a row?
Thanks
