Says the CLS won the comparison. Both had 0-100 times of 4.7, both had 60-0 distance of 39 meters. CLS at stiffest setting was more comfortable than the M5's more comfortable setting. M5 got to 200kh .7 sec faster.
Gas mileage was 16.8 L/100 KM for the M5 and 15.3 for the CLS

Nice video!
Interesting was that at the end of the video the CLS was declared the winner in this comparison due to the fact that it is a balanced package of power and comfort...

Ill take either. But i dont think BMW dealers sell a newly released car like this for sticker. Most MB Dealers do.
BTW, how do you say "automatic" and "handling" in German? ;-)

Thanks for that, Mardeth. Great to see the car in action, but I wasn't very excited to see that it's priced 10,000 Euros higher than the M5. I think all of the dealer and magazine predictions of $85K-ish are going to be at least $10K short.
