The SL 55 is a classic and refined blue blooded lady, the M5 is a girl working at a hair dresser parlour.

Easy there! Own an E39 M5 first....you'll realize the inaccuracy of the statement. It's a refined, but...porky... blue blooded lady versus the local belle's best friend - not nearly as attractive, but she commands her own in her own right.

I'd take the SL55. The top can be opened in 16 seconds or so.
