somehow I convinced my mom to get a used s55 amg over a new X5. I kinda feel guilty for persuading her into buying a car just because I like it but... I dont really care. this car is awesome.
493hp... it saddens me that her car is faster than mine... i wanna trade with her

My cousin has the S55 AMG and honestly, I hate it. Sure, it has a good amount of power, but it's a boat. The E60 is so much more of a sportier car and will outhandle the MB around corners any day. You should have told her to get the E55 AMG instead.

ouch, such harsh reactions for a simple comment. Sometimes it makes me wonder if these forums are monitored by some marketing/advertising group to instill love for BMW and hate for everything else in the universe. I like my 550i very much but I drove the s55 and thought it was a pretty cool car too.
