No knock on the E63 but i remember during 1 of the NY club meets we had last summer...once the traffic cleared out C squared off against an E63 in his M5 and the M5 looked WAY sharper handling at high speeds during lane changes etc...

Test drove the e55, nice car, feels so big n floaty, but I guess thats a mercedes trait in general. I am use to the "on rails" feeling with the beamers... E55 definantly a fun car, but like some of you mentioned, its only great for straight lines... I think I have my heart set on a m5, I am not going to rush it, I want the exact color combo I am looking for before pulling the trigger... (first pic white with red interior or 2nd silverstone with black interior). Are 2006s problematic years in the m5s? Better to go with 07+ ?
The sales rep at benz said the m5's low end tq doesnt make it for a fun car... But than I thought to myself, my 330tq in the 645 is hella fun, I am sure another 182 horses, and 53 tq would add to "fun" lol

lol GO FOR THE M5 !!!! Unless.. you wanna pay extra for gas take the Mercedes. I agree with you, that the e55 feels too big, but in other way its just 0.5% more luxury than the m5, but the M5 feels sportier and I think for fun driving it than the benz. If you are thinking of taking an m5, take the 07 models, its just newer than the 06. I have an 06 so far no problems
+ 06 were the first production of the new design of the m5. I think it created more issues than any other years.But again, it depends on the driver.
