I always keep one phrase in mind, "If you think it is, it is"

If you think your car is the best, than it is

If you think your girl is beautiful, than it is

Man I can go on for days with this phrase....

I think I am a billionair... WAIT, I'm not!!!! You liar!

Could you refrase the question? Apparently, only 24 think they know the answer. How about giving us some criteria here to judge "best" by before you rephrase?

[/quote]Ignoring price, MB for sure. Price factored in, which I think is implied by your question, I might buy any of them depending on what's out and how much what's out costs. My overall preference would be for an AMG above the level of the C55. If I found the AMG alternative I favored to be too pricey, then I would opt for one of the others--assuming performance above the C55 level.

But the 545 isnt above the level of performace of the C55...


Ya the E 500 was more costly than the E60... so that also gave me a better excuse to get the 545 instead.

Right, the 545i isn't above the C55 in straight-line performance. So, if choosing now, I would get a 550i before the current C55, assuming its performance has not improved significantly, since I like the E60 styling better than that of the C55. But, in answering the above question, I was not given the option of selecting a BMW.
