Hi. I am totally new and have only ever owned one MB (an 80 300TD) that i didn't like very much. i am in the market for a car to replace my stolen subie sti and my fiance's volvo xc70. i like the specs of the e55 and the e63 although it appears that the e63 is a better handler and loses the eatons.

the handling's important; but, better tires can influence handling way beyond the basics and no one compares cars with the same tires...

so, can anyone tell me that the e63 is much better than the e55? if so, for which reasons? also, does anyone have a list of failure mechanisms that are common for these cars?

thank you so very much.
peter
