All good choices. I see you have an E63S. Did you go with the S for the all wheel drive or the updated look? Both?
M5 > M6
And after the new CTS V was introduced, for me.. it killed wanting one of the older models. And you wont find a newer one in the 45-50k range.

AMG
2012-2013 E63. If you can find one with PP, even better.

Chappy, I see you are in Atlanta as well. There is one for sale in Marietta with PP. But I agree. That would be one of my top choices as well.

I would say Audi S8 (same engine as rs7)..... crazy these cars retailed for 115K and now you can get them for mid 40s now

What was the first year the S8 came with the tt 4.0? And is that the "plus" model only?

Audi s8 is nice but very big and heavy..

i say go for a nice 2012 pp E/cls63 or m5.

If you need awd go s6/8

2012 E63S Wagon, 2005 E500
I was just in this situation. I spent my $50k in a 2012 E63 wagon with PP. I actually prefer the wagon look to the sedan.

2012 is when the 4.0TT first came in S8

the engine is CGTA (10.1:1 CR) in all S8 from 2012+

the 2014-2015 RS7 has CRDB engine code (10.1:1 CR) , while 2016+ rs7 has CWUB engine code (9.3:1 CR) which has less compression ratio and why the 2014-2015 rs7's are faster on race gas tunes than 2016+

I do love hearing everyone's opinions.
Im thinking 2012-2013 E63 PP, M5,or S8
Hard to go wrong with any of those. All seems to just be preference. AWD gets off the line faster, but has power loss as it climbs. Interior/exterior is good in all, and again seems to just be personal preference as to which is the nicer one in style.
And since those 3 arent overflowing the used car lots, it may just be which one I would be able to find at the right price and color that I was looking for.
