2005/2006 E55 vs. 2008 C63
Overall, what would you guys say is a better car, a used '05/06 E55 with anywhere between 20-30K miles on it or the new '08 C63?
Looks like a used E55 will run me around $50-55K versus probably $60-65K for the C63 with most but not all of its options. It obviously has all of the newer technologies and the larger engine with a seven-speed auto transmission.
But when it comes to interior, handling, room inside the car, etc. what do you guys think?

Not sure which is the "better car" but with 457 on hand (from what we think is a simple detuned ECU and exhaust), that means that with a simple flash and headers, you would have a smaller lighter car with 520 or more hp. Not to mention it will be one the best handling 4door mb's ever built and it seems like an offer too good to turn down.
Can't imagine having 500hp and being able to turn ESP completely off!!! It would either be a blast or certain death.
Course that's just from performance aspect, you have interior room differences etc to work out.
