Only reason I mention the cls55 is, doesnt it share the same chassis as the e55?
When "playing around" with a cls55 and I had the m6, it kept right behind me, as fast as the m6 on curves, twisties etc... Im confused... Either I wasnt pushing the m6 hard enough, or the cls55 handles the best out of all the benz's?

Maybe the CLS had a really outstanding driver.
Also, the CLS55 has much more low end power squirting out of low speed corners than the M5 or M6. So coming out of the corners, when he got on the gas, he should have beeb able to accelerate faster. But going into the corners (the braking part and hitting the apex prior to getting back on the gas), the M6 should have the edge by a lot.

Cls has a wider track than the E class. Cls can fit a 305 tires while e class usually max is 285, but I have seen some run 295 with minor rubbing. I was on the m6 rear bumper the whole time into the turns and during the turns. Maybe Tony wasn't pushing it hard enough, that day by the airport we were going triple digits through the turns And the Cls handled really well (km/h).

Some of the parts on the CLS55/CLS63 even say "W211" on it. Dont believe me? Look at the front airmatic strut for example. The W211 is the E-Class chassis.
As for the handling, I think my CLS55 handles like crap. I honestly think my 7 with H&R's handles nicer.

Defiantly agree Benz are more luxurious, but can't agree that they are all pretty. Although almost all the BMW's handle well, even the suv's, there are quite few pretty bmws...
Dammit, stupid transport company hurry already, I wanna drive the e55 dammit! Lets see what all the amg fuss is about
