I’d bet you’re right but I already felt the W212 E63 was too harsh and gave up too much comfort for too little handling improvement over the W211. I’m willing to give up canyon prowess for a bit more comfort...which is why after being partial to AMG for a good while, I’m considering the RS7 for my next vehicle.
It felt like a 57 Caddy..

I think Chiro's issue is more to do with comfort than just ****ty handling.

Exactly... immediately takes me out of the M5 market (that and the douche factor in a BMW). Numbers for the new M5 are certainly impressive, but what can it do on Nurburgring vs the E63S sedan? Still eager to see what the E63S sedan can get on the track. 7:35 or better?

C&D did measure the E63S at 1.01g vs .98 in the M5 on the skid pad if that matters.

Its much better and Ive had 5 seven speed MCT's...the electronics have made the all the difference as the mechanics havent really changed except for the addition of 2 gears.

It is not BMW’s first AWD car. I believe the first one was the E30 325 ix circa 1987 or so. They also have a multitude of X series SUVs with AWD for many years now of course, some of them already kicking out over 500 hp (X5M, X6M).

2018 E63S AMG
I've driven the car about 4600 miles now. I would say that for low speed driving, especially when the car is cold right out of the garage, Sport+ is a little too responsive for me at low speeds, especially over some bumps near my house as I pull away from a light. It's not really a transmission issue so much as throttle response, I think. Probably because I'm used to driving vehicles with less responsive throttles. Once the car is warmed up it seems easier to drive.
Like Ronin, I put it in comfort mode (with exhaust valves open or closed depending upon my mood and where I am) if I'm in stop and go and in town traffic where there's no point in being in Sport+ other than to make the exhaust snarl more.
The benefit of being in comfort mode is that I get cylinder deactivation, coasting, and engine stop at lights. Results in a noticeable improvement in mileage when I do that.
But other than me being a bit of a spaz on the throttle, I haven't had any issues with shifting of the trans or smoothly pulling away from a stop, etc.

Those are some crazy numbers!!!! Cant wait for the drag strip runs at the same time.
Here are the C&D numbers for E63S- closest thing to apples and apples- mostly off by two tenths in most measurements. That curb weight hurts (4288 vs 4587).
C/D TEST RESULTS:
Zero to 60 mph: 3.0 sec
Zero to 100 mph: 7.0 sec
Zero to 130 mph: 11.9 sec
Zero to 150 mph: 16.6 sec
Zero to 170 mph: 23.3 sec
Rolling start, 5-60 mph: 3.9 sec
Top gear, 30-50 mph: 2.3 sec
Top gear, 50-70 mph: 2.7 sec
Standing ¼-mile: 11.1 sec @ 126 mph
Top speed (governor limited, mfr's claim): 186 mph
Braking, 70-0 mph: 155 ft
Roadholding, 300-ft-dia skidpad: 1.01 g

Dean: I think the the 10.3X RS7's all have DP's.... I would have to check the database at Audizine but IIRC the best car non stage 2 was in the mid 10's. But this is just proof that the RS7 clearly jumps up much better with mods and less of them.

Me too, thats a lot of "hardware" to get to those numbers albeit nice numbers.
