whic one do you find more exciting to drive? Its pretty well accepted that the 55 is the all round more useable and comfortable car, but if you were to take one out to get a rush which one you personally choose?

SLY: The M5 is a no doubt really fast car, but I choose E55 over the M5 on daily driving. I had trips from boston to New york in the M5, and my butt just gets sore after like 2 hours of driving because the BMW seats are simply more stiffer and not as comfortable as Mercedes' seats....
The E55 definitely FEELS better, the torque is just brutal compared to the M5. It gives you much more push...When doing everyday driving, the most I do is around 110MPH...and the E55 is definitely good enough for that...If i plan to do like 155mph, or if I was going to track...then I'd take the M5
Both cars are great....
sorry ppl, I dont think I can make race videos..coz my gf upshifts at 3000RPM
but if people had an E55 and wanted to race an M5....I'll gladly race you in the M5....although I am on the AMG side...just like Matt Damon in the movie "The Departed"...I sometimes lurk around driving the M5!

Drive by Cummington St on Sunday and you'll probably see my car there in the morning, sometimes in the afternoon.

Glad to see it all got squared away Derrick 
My car is still doing a bit of the 'tranny drone' but besides that, the TC and Radi replacement did the trick.
BTW- love the Pano on White (and Silver). that's the only way to go on the lighter colors

yea man..I think Boston Krew is a good idea...now that I think they are starting a NY crew!
Interesting how Xtian, Kevc320 and me (bostonians) all ended up with E55's...
Rlee: we will come "close" ...=D or maybe not..hehe..nevertheless...your Stage I feels more responsive than my E55 on initial acceleration because its got the ECU upgrade...
Kev: I was wondering what you were talking about mentioning harbor points...then today my friends and I were discussing moving to ARBOR POINTs apartmenrs coz archstone watertown square (where the pics were taken) is over charging on their next year's leases....rediculous prices! so ya..those pics were taken in watertown...
