E350 vs M35, day & night

Maybe put this into the E forum.
Anyway a local mag compared these two luxury & performance sedans, recorded in a DVD.

What impress me most is the 0~100 Km/hr sprint
M35 finished in 7.54 s (best run)
The E350 is in amazing 6.7s (1st run)
Second
The M35 can hardly follow the E350 in mountain
twist roads, blame the tires M35 almost wear out and
E350 are in stock funny 16".
Conclusion
Day and night difference comment by those test drivers
the plain look E350 overwhelms the fashion M35
No doubt the Nissan/VQ35DE is powerful but the Mercedes 7G rules in the end !
They recall the CLS, a charming & powerful machine test
before.


p.s
another comparison in same day for reference.
G35 Coupe 0~100 kph 7.42 s (best run)
E90/BMW330i 0~100 7.62 s (best run)
BMW330 won the credit of excellent handling

No longer car shopping...
Hmm would have thought the Maxima (err, I mean overpriced Maxima) would have faired better.
