Actually I was doing a low blow on another BMW supporter here, .. one for the track

SLK55_AMG

you are 100% right!

the interesting thing is, that the SLK 55 has the same torque as the new M5, with less weight , this means *** spanking, last but not least , the looks will kill the M5 in standing still , this only is a WIN a championship win too , hehe

WannaBeAMG

is that right?

That would only be true if was a 1:1 drive ration for both. :p

This guy is an idiot ...

I have a respect for 3 Cerman car manufactures Mercedes, BMW and AUDI...

When I was younger I had a C36AMG... ...I have a very good memories in it...student age....Then sold it an got an Audi S8 in Moscow, very nice car as well....

Then in 2001 bought an S500L Lorinser... ...This was the best car...made me feel good all the time I drove it so luxurious...

Last year I bought an M5 for a change and I absoulutely Love this CAR....Makes me want to go for a drive... and find someone I can race...

I am amased by the power of NEW E55AMG...I would love to get one those ....I will be selling my M5 soon and will get 2003 E55AMG....Both cars are great....E39 M5 is a bit old now...

Right now for me E55 AMG is the BEST Sports sedan on the market...I am willing to sacrifice some cornering ability for a more POWER....Anyways the races I've had were straight line or around the city....

Still dont understand this child...why he is posting to this forum. ..Every car enthusiast knows that BMW car are more sporty, Merc is more luxurious...

Currently Merc has got the Crown....

There's your answer-He is an ignorant child. If we ignore him and don't respond to his posts, with his short attention span he will get bored and go away.

I think you are forgetting the best one: Porsche!

The four previous BMW M5s (original, hand-built, boxy E28 M5, hand-built E34 M5 sedan, AND the hand-built E34 M5 wagon, and the E39 M5) had the complete package.

The were understated and classy, had a luxurious and/or sporty driver-oriented (interior), had performance, and a manual tranny.

The next M5 looks ugly and then some. The front side vents aren't even FUNCTIONAL! Talk about cheap! The interior is cheap and neither sporty nor luxurious. The next M5 isn't subtle or classy. Its V-10 may blow up like the current BMW M3's engine has done. V-10s aren't exactly smooth and sonorous. The engine doesn't even look good. It is just a big plastic air intake. The E55 AMG's engine has a hand-signed signature of the mechanic who built it. It won't be available with a manual tranny until later and, sadly, may not even come.

The E55 AMG is available in a wagon while an M5 Touring won't be made.

(AMG 65 models are pointless though. Why not get an Aston Martin DB9 or a 55 AMG instead?)

Plus, the next M5 has little more torque than the previous M5 which was first made in October, 1998!!

Car & Driver tested a 545i 6 speed and it weighed 4,000 pounds. The next M5 will likely weigh more.

MBE55AMG

Yeah, from the looks of the M5, in my perspective it looks heavy.

E55 RUSS

To be honest....I think New M5 will set new standards for sport sedans.....Eventhough some of you think New M5 is ugly...everybody has a different tastes....personally I love the looks of E55 and M5 is not that Ugly for me but I do think 55'S interior is better then new M5's...

One thing I wish that E55 had was a ABC (active body control) like my S-class has...I like how the car performs in the corners...though 750i I had 2 years ago still performed better....

Other thing is bigger OEM tires at least 255 fronts and 275/285 back...

I like Porsches but I prefer to have more space and comfort....for me Cayenne is the best SUV on the market right now....BTW G-wagen is still the best off-road vehicle...So many times we went hunting in it....Sometimes it performed better then Hammer...cause it less heavy...

IMHO M5 or E55AMG except...estraight line race.....everything depends on the Driver...although on e39 m5....you still need to work hard to get the best of the 400Hp's...Merc is more easy....though love the m5's envolement...

So before we say anything about how new M5 perform....we need to wait unit it comes out....some E60 M5 figures do look impresive...like 507Hps and V10.....8500 rev limiter...7 SMG with 11 modes....promises 0-200 in mid 13.....Lets just wait and see....

But the fight will never end....if M5 will be faster in straight line....then E63Amg will even more faster...but BMW will still be better balanced car on the track...

All the best

I saw a black 540i or what ever the new V8 model designation is, today. Although not handsome or pretty, it was tough looking. IMO they look awful in light colours, but maybe I could live with a black M5

SLK55_AMG

well i was thinking like you too about porsche, its the 2nd best , but as sport car, its the best ofcoarse ....

porsche ,audi and vw were called autounion long time ago as 1 company, look at the audi rings ,,,, they were all a single company ........

Jon200

I see a fair few 5er everyday now and to be honest, I am getting used to its revolutionary styling, it takes a lot of time to get used to and it looks alright after a while. IMO it has a sportier look than the E class.

But i still think the 7er is ugly though

That is why BMW working on a complete FACE Lift.....

MBE55AMG

... And let us pray it'd look at least more decent.

Yes the rings did reprsent each company but Auto Union represents Audi, DKW, Horch and Wanderer. Which today is Audi which owns Lambo and Cosworth. VW owns Audi and Bently.

And as far as the M5 goes it looks better then the regular 5 and only in dark colors. Plus I would like to see it in person before making the final decission. The numbers do look promising, but we will have to wait and see.

Bauer....Did you see th epics of the new R6!!!!......You need another one

proform

They definatky improved on the whole my 100k car looks like a VW thing they had going on on your year

Bauer

Profo-

You don't need to attack something because you have insecurities about your own ride and don't make me pull out some history on the VW thing. I know you

Yes, I did see the photoshop pics of the RS6. Looks pretty good. Most likely I will be turning mine in at the end of the lease and getting the next verson.

Porsche still has a long ways to go with their Cayenne. I've driven the Turbo and the S a lot and honestly, I think the X5 4.4i or greater puts down a greater feel of power then the S. Turbo though hands down, wins. That's my favorite Sport SUV! Too bad I don't have 100k for one

THe rear seats on the Cayenne leave a lot to desiered, whenever we have small parties with my friends, we can easily pack almost twice and much stuff in my truck rather then his Cayenne S because of the more room I have in the back. Not sure if that's right on paper though because it does seem like it should have the same amount of room.

That is why the E55 AMG Estate is so awesome.

Whomever started this thread has the brain capacity of rasberry sherbet that was spilled on some concrete on a hot summer day in Mongolia.

The E55 is one of the most beautiful sedans ever created, IMO. And for goodness sakes, how can u not love a car that keeps up with Ferraris .
The E39 M5 is incredible and was or may still be considered the standard to many. But accelertion wise, it's not even close stock for stock.

The E60 M5, it looks like an ugly chic that got plastic surgery to try to make herself look better. The proportions and stance on the E60 are WRONG. Computers are not the solve all for these damn car designers. We've never had so many ugly cars before.

Sorry but more than anything, the E 55 IS the beast himself. Every other sedan is just trying to catch up.
