--CLS63 biturbo or BMW M5 F10-- what do you think?

Well since my car is up for sale been playing with an idea and I wanted to get some opinions of the two. I've always been a MB guy but I've always had BMW's too M3s supercharged etc.... They both look great. Looking to hear some feedback, whatever it is... lay it down lol

Hate to see your car go, but those are some nice cars.

Although I prefer E63 biturbo and M6 Gran Coupe for some reason.

E63s in your color scheme is ****

yah that was one of my thoughts too... I seen an F10 with quiet a bit of mods barely breaking 650hp vs just a tune on the CLS sets you back over that.

I personally like better the F10 M5. CLS is nice too but weight more than F10.

THIS/\/\/\.. CLS Bi Turbo is the call.. Get a Weistek tune & some "Real" downpipes and you are "Golden"... If you go all out you can upgrade the turbos as well and have one Hell of a Fast Car...

Though the e63S is a piggy, with awd and 600hp+ it feels lighter

Takes more than a tune, you definately need the downpipes and some other stuff. Looking at around 7-8k I think

2015 CTS-V with 640hp with roughly 550-565rwhp spend about $6k in mods and you'll have a very, very low 10sec car with 135-140 traps or go with a 2013 E63

It does take more then a tune, I think mid pipe and down pipe and you might hit 10.99 on a good day and that is with the lighter E63! My buddy had a CLS63 with tune/downpipe when my V was like an 11.30 car or so and he barely walked me.
Anyway, I am a fan and will be looking for an E63 or an S63 sometime soon (Love the CLS but I am too tall for it). I search online here and there just to see if the right one pops up and if it does, I have 2 people just waiting for me to sell my e55! But I must say...I really like my 55!

I will say you are correct and it might cost a hair more. I can tell you that there is an e63 2014 with renntech tune running around with our little race crew and I am trying to get out there when I have my e55 to run him. I know with in .2 what my e55 will run and very close mph so I can report back when it happens. I ran him with my V and...fugitboutit.

Being a V guy, yes this will be a cool car and it will be fast with some mods but $90k plus ttt and some work to trap 'that'!? $110k! I was assuming that Berti was looking for used stuff under that price tag! Just a guess!


I will not be looking for any new V's anytime soon, that I can tell ya! lol Maybe I'll be looking for them...but NOT to buy!

Doesn't the rs7 with apr tune hit 10's all day every day? I find it has similar styling of the cls as well.

Now this I know well! My buddy had one and it was freakin fast! My car goes 10.51@132.35mph and when he was on race gas (had race tune as well of course) we were dead even!!! The car was sick! He has since sold it (had it 6 months) and got a 2015 Z06 but the car was impressive to say the least. I think they go like 10.70's or 80's on 93 octane. He had a down pipe as well.
