X5 4.6iS is the direct competitor and far superior to the ML55 in terms of handling. Straightline speed they are both the same. Can't say the same when comparing to the ML63, however

Even though I never driven a ML55...I gotta think the ML63 is leaps and bounds ahead as far as performance goes. It may sound petty, but that's one reason I didn't choose the E63 to replace my E55. I want my next generation car to be appreciably faster than my old car. E55 and E63 are nearly identical in performance. I'm sure the ML55 is an awesome car, but I won't have to worry about getting beat by one at a stop light.
