Which Car??

What would you guys do for both money and car-

06 E55 32,xxx miles for $38k

07 E63 22,xxx miles for $59k



Both are similarly equipped, nav, parktronic, keyless go, ect.
Input on driveability and such is appreciated.

Anytime additional car- I have an 08 M5 for daily and 08 Q7 for baby car....


Still looking for inside views of current owners of either and your opinion on which one. The price is pretty substantial and with that difference could be mods and extra warranty..... and still some in the pocket

I agree, and hopefully you can stretch your 10k to more than just an air box and some wheels......

I would do the 06. Granted, I like the looks of the E63 better and the 500+ HP engine is why I bought the 63.

Saw this- didn't like the tan interior- white/black, silver/black-

any other opinions between the two? I think the 55 has more potential- horsepower wise

BTW- the car difference in pricing is 21K- thats a lot of money to play with, plus i'm finding it hard to justify that much and the difference is one year and a different motor.

I don't seem to be hearing that the 63 bests the 55 by much, if anything at all....

In my own personal opinion, the 63 only bests the 55 in the looks department.

Of course that can be fixed for less than 21k



Silly question: Have you driven either yet?

Personally its a better engine and more mod friendly!!!
They way things are right now.... 10k will go a long way with mods!!!!
