Remember how most of you doubted the new M5's performance?
This is not a troll thread or any sort of "bashing" towards anyone, but remember how most of you doubted the M5's performance saying it would not be anywhere near as fast as the E55 AMG because of torque or whatever? You have to admit that the result did turn out way different that you expected, agreed? I guess you shouldn't count ANY of your chicks before they hatch.
Even so, the E63 AMG and the M5 are both awesome cars.

I wouldn't.
Fast, but poor interior space and far less comfortable as a daily drive - particularly if you leave it in the faster "modes". In the E you just stomp the load pedal - you're gone!

Where top speed is no issue the M5 is the car to get.
Where 0 to 120 is what you do, the MB 55 series rules.
Either way, you win.

On another note, we still don't have video of an E63 vs M5 on the top end. THAT would be really nice to watch.

Is this a Mercedes forum? or is it a BMW forum?? Not sure yet with all these posts about Butt Ugly Motor Works. Sorry but I really think we need to move on.

E55 and Carrera S
This guy single handedly ruined BMW for everyone! Common without the cool wheels the M5 looks ugly. If they did something about the goofy shaped headlights I might consider buying one. The side isnt too bad, and the *** is nice.

Would anybody think poorly of me if I said...who gives a ****?
Honestly, I'd guess any of the E55 owners on the board could have bought M5's, so it's a matter of personal preference.

I think only close minded people hating on m5 or vice versa, two beautifull cars, I loved my E55 and test drove M5 and i love it! I mean they are different kind of beasts.
Why hate?
I wish we could make a day where Mb owners trade cars with M owners! Wouldnt it be awesome.
Seriously guys stop this bull****.

With all this debate about M5 v.s E55, we are thinking to plot out a highway race (under safe conditions) in the very near future. Both of our cars are stock.

I'll start off by complimenting you on your signature pic. Yep, unfortunately it ends there.
Other than that...what a useless thread! Are you like 10 years old? I just can't fathom a mature guy starting this kind of thread. It doesn't make any sense. Maybe it's your delivery or maybe it's me...maybe I had a long day at work today but what in THE HELL is the point!? Let's just leave it at that b/c -

This thread is like a bad "I told you so" but to no one in particular..........its equivalent to calling out the entire board, whats the point!

if it wasn't for bmw's neutered u.s. launch control i'd LOVE that car. it was a total hindrance to tonight's drags...not launching properly, bogging down, spinning the tires. i felt bad for my buddy as i could see the total disappointment on his face as he could only manage a 13.0.

you might change your mind since bmw doesn't allow you to disable dsc with the 6spd. with that in mind, what's the point of offering the 6spd?

i sure hope tuners will be able to defeat not having a dsc button on the new 6spd. but since they haven't even figured out how to defeat u.s. l/c yet so who knows.
