AMG cars are not the best to own without a warranty, repairs/maintenance can be ridiculous money. My buddy has an 2003 S63, and that thing is beautiful, but the repair/maintenance costs add up big time.
I would stick with the E60.

If money isn't an issue, then it seems the MB is the way to go. You can sugar coat the decision by throwing on a JB3, but it seems like at the higher speeds the 8 cylinders will beat our 6's. Off the line though, the JB3 seems like it'll be alotta fun.

Bottom line. NO WARRANTY,,, but its got this badass seat thing it does when you go around thecorner, the deat moves the oposite way so it keeps you hard in the seat...

A cool feature, but not worth it in the end
