Here's one for K-A
Really KA, you are a piece of work. Just not cool Buddy. Amazing to me that you leased 3 E classes and while you had them, spoke so highly about them and you were very active on this forum.. Now, you switch to BMW and have nothing but negative remarks about the E and the w212 people in this forum. I'll end my thoughts by saying, your new 5 series is a very nice car and I am glad that you are happy with your purchase. Please stop, belittling people on this forum, and trying to prove that your car is better than everyone else's. Cheers
and to that i submit a great big "nobody cares, BMW (and especially not a on a benz forum) - your engineering mindset is actually a FAIL" per the sentiments from two separate comparo's:
"Judges dinged the M6 for being too heavy and unsettled in corners. Moreover, the car felt numb and isolating, like there was always a barrier between you and the road. Loh described it thus: "The M6 tunes out nearly every chassis response, and then tries to dial it back in to your liking." Ah, but there's a button for that, isn't there? Actually, there are about a hundred of them. The M6 offers a wide range of options for fine-tuning the car's various computers to dial in performance for any given situation. On its face, this seems like a good thing. In practice, you end up fiddling with settings forever. We calculated 125 possible combinations of throttle, suspension, transmission, and other settings. Somewhere around combination 26, you realize that none of them is really making the car much of a better driver's car, and you're just wasting time."
"Even with all its many driver-adjustable settings for steering effort, throttle response, and suspension stiffness, it’s impossible to make the M6 fully at home on winding roads. The steering is duller than the others, and the body wallows and leans more as the mass pushes the suspension around. An overriding sense of isolation meant the clearest feedback we got came from our drivers, complaining that they felt less confident driving hard into corners, unsure if the grip would hold."
on a separate note, KA - the E39 was the best 5er to date; not the F10
And plenty seem to care otherwise I wouldn't get a whole thread dedicated to me with over 200 replies.
And I agree about the E39 however feel the F10 is its soul modernized equivalent especially in overall design.
The Best of Mercedes & AMG
If anyone here says the F10 is the best 5-series made, being a BMW enthusiast myself, I simply cannot agree. Personally I think if you took the intoxicating sound and power of the E60 M5 engine, combined with the handling feedback characteristics of the E39 M5 and refinement of the F10......that would truly make a remarkable vehicle.
As a tribute to my old E39 M5 I hope you guys don't mind me sharing a pic


FYI: Also being ex-E60 owner. It was a fine handling car with conventional suspension setup.
