Look to me you no backing whatsoever in your comment bout I was lying. So please, do yourself a favour by shut the fxxk up and forever keep your peace.
My company not only let me drive their E320 but also paying for my housing and other expenditures for sending me back from Canada to Hong Kong. And yes, as long as I get my job done, I can be online posting posts all day long. And does that has anything to do with you?

I must agree with what you said. I fully support your points.
All the information he provided to this forum are spam and nonsense.
I searched his posts, he did not even response to any of other threads in this forum. Once he found a thread with listeners, he draged on and on and on. Never ever wanted to stop. Does he have a life?
You are right, nothing positve from him

he's yelling again, I know
he has no choice because he works for a nasty company gives him a Mercedes Benz.
he could not choose a car he wanted. it is all so sad,
he is crying every night because his company did not give him the M5 E60.
Oh no, would he kill himself, or at least to see a doctor something
Let's help him out.

All the F1 bs about M5 engine can be summed up by this review:
"This engine is worthy of further comment, partly to debunk a bit of marketing whimsy, but mainly to say just how good it is. The marketing-speak is that it has significant strands of Formula One technology in its genes, but with the exception of having the same 90-degree configuration, bedplate construction for bottom-end strength and a hugely powerful management system, that's all window dressing, and the real engineers know it. Nevertheless, they can be proud of it as a road car engine because beyond power it has character, and that's something every M5 needs."
In a year or so BMW will have competitor to the E55 but will it beat it, I dont think so. Untill than lots of hot air will be pushed around.

the bliss of ignorance
autocar
topgear
only two independent comparisons i've read, both rate M5 over E55 in straight line performance, both comment on even bigger margin on so called laterial performance, ie agility
it's not rocket - power to weight - classic sports car benchmark

This is pathetic.. I've never seen a forum that I've become so frustrated by other peoples posts than this one.
But it's only a few people who fuxx things up so I feel really sorry for the rest of the members here.
I completly agree with MikeHK. I was too coming here to learn more about the mainly the SL and E55 but every other post is about 1/4, road kills and how the mercs will smoke the bmw's. Or how one should mod the mercs to really smoke the bmw's....
There's even posts on other carforums about how "childish" this forum is and that's really, really bad. Especially for the people who run this forum and for the members that know's how to act properly..
After this post I'm going to have my membership on this site removed.
I doubt you will miss me because I like BMW's as well as AMG's... but that's not good enough for some people on this board apparently....

This thread is absolutely useless. You can't make a definitive assertion as to which car is faster based on two completely seperate videos. Why can't you just enjoy the attributes of two great cars and keep the discussion moving in a positive direction. Furthermore, Belmondo is an absolute imbecile. I refuse to believe someone with the verbal abilities of a 12 year old and the reasoning skills of 6 year old would be in a financial position to even consider owning a car like an E55. Your making an *** out of yourself, and denigrating this board, as well as the E55 you seem to be so childishly attached to. Go to the M5 boards and see how grownups engage in discussion.

Been there here is one of you from BMW board having a tantrum over review of M5 vs E55 that is not to his liking...........
"There are two threads to this article, Tom focusing on the car's appeal, technology, driving pleasure and Paul Horrell given the responsibility
of comparison with E55.
Paul does "not" state the E55 is more responsive than E60 M5 but does say "its a draw" on the engine front which is complete and utter BS.
The M5 has direct and instant connection i.e longitudinal agility where the E55 is sloppy, ok sure it has a high torque at low revs but E55 is
another example of pure flat line speed where M5 is a complete drivers package. E55 won't keep up and when I get my car de-restricted the
first thing I'm going to do is **** over the nearest E55 for satisfaction levels.
Mercedes badge all their product lines with AMG models - M division only do cars that can truly be called sporty, "I quote"
Tom hated the 5 series at launch and I think its embedded in his genetic structure to hate the M5 which compels him to say "he don't want one".
I've seen the E60 M5, I've heard it, it looks and sounds awesome. F1 it is.
Tom in my opinion should be sidelined to the vault of emphatic fools, at least Paul says he's "blown away by this one"
I have more respect for the lady from the Sun paper. Bring back Tiff Needle from Top Gear.

Hey I like the E55, and I enjoy learning about all kinds of different vehicles. That last post, aside from not being even half as stupid as the utter drivel you post, is an anomaly on that board. Your hatred for the M5 defies logic. Whats so detestable about futuristic technology?

"Whats so detestable about futuristic technology?" Not technology only the BS that clowns like you generate about it.
