Question I need your guy's opinion.....

In a year or two when I have enough money saved up, I would debate on either to get a 2004 e55, or a 07 or 08 e63. I the car stock. I just wanted to ask you guys because some of you own e63's and e55's. My bro has a 04 e55 and that thing is a beast. I wanted to know if you guys can give me any advice on which car is better. Like for gas mileage and handling wise. I know the e55 is faster . And which one I would look/feel like a complete bad *** in... . The supercharger v8 or the all motor v8..?Thanks for taking the time to read my post guys!

Audi S4 (sold), E46 M3 (sold) 05 E55 silver/black(sold)
The cars are very different so it's not a question of which is better but which suits your particular needs better. Same for which one you would feel like a total noob in. The E63 is more refined so some people will feel better in that car, the E55 is more rough and ready so others may feel more suited to that model. E63 has a 7spd transmission and in every day use appears to get a mile or two more per gallon than the E55's do. Your right foot will factor heavily into what kind of mileage you will see.

A year or two is a long way away. So cross that bridge when you get to it.

Wow holy thread revival. All the maintenance of the E63 seems a lot more involved and scary than the E55- seeing the number of potential oil leak sites on the M156, its like they sandwiched multiple layers of engine together with sealant.
