I dont know why, but the CLS55 gets me vote. 
I know a guy who was considering selling the worlds lowest mileage CLS55.

I think if I post this same topic on a benz forum they will all vote for e55 lol
Seriously though, I would pick the E63 before the E55 but you didn't have the E63 listed. Slight changes make the E63 look more aggressive IMO. But yes, even if you had the E63 on the list, I'd pick the M5 over it. Member Vegastrashed went from a 545 to an E63 and even said his 545 handled better.

It all depends on what you wanr. If you want a stoplight warrior, the E55 and its tractorful of torque is the superior car -- especially at legal speeds. But as speed and revs rise, the M5 and its horsepower and high RPM capability will come into its own and pull the E55 back in and pass it.
But if you value handling as well as braking feel, the M5 is in an altogether different -- and higher -- league. The E60 M5 is, by far, the better driver's car and the better all around car.

1 Owner 55 with a little over 6K miles on it.
What's the asking price? (I'm not looking but it might be helpful to those who are).

Lets just say that KBB values dont mean anything to me when it comes to this car.
