2018 E63S Sedan clocks fastest lightning lap for sedan

I didn't see this posted here, so I thought peeps would be interested in the accolades from a magazine review. It is impressive to see just how well MB and AMG have managed to get this new model to perform and stand-out among a competitive landscape of cars.

And of course, the GT R killed it too...

That was the take-away from the Chris Harris review too: more like an M than ever.

I'm a wagon-man, but I look forward to the head-to-head of the new M5 vs the E63S sedan. I think it will come down to how BMW programs its AWD system, and whether they have made it pull from the front only after exiting the apex, which seems to be how AMG has done with the new 4Matic+ in the Sport mode.

Cheers
