Good E63 Review
Sorry if this link has been posted. I was in at my dealer today having my C55 serviced, and went to look at an E63 as I'm thinking about moving up. They didn't have one yet, but he mentioned a head to head review againt the M5 and S6 from Automobile Magazine. Long story short, they really liked the E63.
Here's the link to the article.

I'm looking forward to getting to test drive one even more now!

Good read! found some parts a bit annoying tho: "Unlike the supercharged E55, which was so pumped up with hormones it could hardly accelerate in a straight line"
I mean come on, isnt that a bit over the top!?
The new 63 motor comes to the party with the biggest HP and Torque Figures, does anyone else think that they couldve just released a facelifted E55 with the old motor very slightly tweaked to give the 500+HP needed to win the paper-figures match (let alone the torque!!)?? It would mash the competition and they could save their 63 release for later! But i guess thats the result of getting the new 7speed out there...
Its kind of annoying to think that without its new extra-ratio gearbox, the 63 would be slower than the ol 55's! (it would be slower right?!)
