My Ride: 2008 BMW 550i Sport
Carbon Black Metallic/Cream Beige
Manny tranny and other stuff
Recently gone, but never forgotten:
2005 Ford Mustang GT (hence the name)
Torch Red/Crimson
Manny tranny and every option available for that year
2002 Chrysler 300M Special
Brilliant Black/Light Taupe/Dark Slate
Autostick and goo-gobs of neat features that I will sorely miss
I can think of about 147 reasons to choose the E63 over a 550i, and that doesn't even include the "prestige" of owning an AMG car. Then again, with the price of the good stuff encroaching on $4/gal and the E-class having a 20 gallon tank...

If I can get a low mileage 2007 MB e63 (fully loaded) with less than 3K miles for $5K more than a 2008 550i with 3K miles more than the MB, what is the reason not to do it?
This is not a trick question . . .
This is not a trick question . . .
since 08 550i is a beater with more mileage than an 07 E63
