Both are fabulous cars but the Bmw takes the benz in driving dynamics its really fast and has a better grip of the road on the other hand the benz isn't that bad eighter it drives great but not as great as the 550i but it has less hp 302vs360hp. I heard they're going to get the CLS550 which is going to have 382 hp. That will be great.

I would go Silver/Black CLS with AMG package.
I love the 545/550 but a CLS just looks too nice. Obviously the 550 outperforms the CLS but I think the CLS is the only new mercedes I like that doesnt give me that chrysler feel.

Umm... Designed by the same people who designed Chrysler LX platforms

My Ride: 2006 550 SMG
Well I just priced out the cls500 and its $6200.00 more than the 550 with the same options except the 550 also includes the HUD in the price. Also you have to add the cost of maitenence for the benz, about $2600.00. So that makes a total of $8800.00. Why not get the M5!!! In my opinion the 550 is a much better deal and is a better overall vehicle and the M5 will blow the cls500 away in every aspect.
