wow. very nice vid. you can see how the MB's chassis is not handling so much power very well. The silver one is so weak it crumbles around the circuit like a drunken sailor

360k EUR for MB ???? there are other REAL ultimate cars with this price tag

If i had 360k i would certainly not spend it on a merc. Target: carrera gt.
In fact if i had any money at my disposal for a new car, i wouldn't spend a cent on a merc.

The B5 is a real sleeper, looks like a 520 almost. It?s really fast and comfortable, but the steering is no good and the handling is only ok, not more.

I drove a B5 in Germany and had my M5 to compare with - it was very close in acceleration at all speeds.

But the tight feeling ( steering, brakes, handling etc. ) you have in the M5 is something completely different.

M5 for me

MB?s - no thanks :thumbsdown:

agreed.. i would get an m5 (2nd hand), a b5 , and e55 (2nd hand), and a 535d ... and superchip them,
and install new pulleys on the e55, and a kleemann lsd, and a new suspension, and new brakes... and get
m6 style alloys for the m5, and tint them all... and get the hammann wheels for the 535d , and get the brabus front lip for the e55 ... and have 35000euro left for servicing

If you like a car focused on comfort AND power, buy the B5. It?s one of the best there is. Much better than a AMG IMO

M5 on the other h................... Sorry! that was some other thread...

only reason a B5 is not in my garage is coz wife wants a new house!
