Typical dimwit response, but since you like to read rather than discuss please take a look at the latest evo article on e63s vs m5. The m5 comes out on top.

Are you leasing or buying?
If I had the money and the need for a nice car I wouldn't miss out on an entire summer (assuming september is the earliest for your AMG). Who knows how many more each of us has? And then you are first penguin in the new AMG and who knows whether they screw something up in the first year?
In any case, the M5 can be had with attractive lease offers. If you pile up some more rebates I wouldn't be surprised if the effective rates come out equal, and quite honestly the M5 is a higher value car if you like the size.

Stopped reading after the 2nd paragraph "The M5 uses an eight-speed twin-clutch gearbox, though, while the E63 makes do with a less sophisticated seven-speed torque converter auto" The m5 uses a seven not a eight speed dual clutch and the E63 uses MCT that replaces the torque converter with a wet startup clutch. Fail. That's also a special editions m5 that they made very few of. Whats the fastest S63tu car in the world? 10.8 @ 131? M157 car just went 9.9 @ 142

The M5 at $93000 is actually usable.
The price is driven up by people being unable to resist to add the competition package ($7000 something), which in their defense is probably worth it just for resell value.
There also is the executive package which holds a lot of stuff that nobody needs but has been carefully composed to hold hostage at least one thing that is a strong WANT for every single buyer. What is it $4500?
BMW also makes their individual colors and individual leathers available directly in the online configurator, that doesn't help.

I know people here are biased towards MB. But I'm getting very antsy waiting for the possible release of the C63S in September. A friend called telling me about a sweet bimmer 70 miles away. It's an 2015 M5, with CCB's, heads up and a nice radio ( .http://www.brianharrisbmw.com/new/BM...24d137c29f.htm ) . I know this comparison is apples and oranges, price and size wise. I have never had a MB. My local BMW dealer customer service is awful, wife had an X6. I guess I'm hoping you guys talk me out of it.
