To me the cls had a better tone when reved hard, it sounded more muscular while the m5 sounded like a electric motor whining.

No way! The M5 has one of the best tones out there...it's like music on wheels, more like a Ferrari! The MB sounds like an american car. I don't want that, i want the high revvy engine...and i can asure you the noise is much better in other situations...like in the Top Gear test or at DW. Listen to the engine at DW and than tell me if it's still a whining electric motor. Not everyone can make a V10 revv at 9000rpm and sound like it's the haul of a god!
IMO the best sound ever if from the L6 M3 CSL...now that sound won my heart and not even a ferrari or a lamborghini would make me change my mind!

CLS sounds like a cheap Mustang. M5 sounds sweet and strong more like race car.
Those professional drivers look like they just learn how to drive new car. They looks kind of nervous. Not look cool at all. They should like 007
Anyhew, they are of the best prof drivers out their. I like their maneuver! :love:

Not sure what you've listened to. The M5 has one of the best sounds out there today. Check out this clip of a stock E60 M5 vs a chipped E55:

Well the sound judgement is a subjective one, I anticipated the response, after all we are on a e60 forum; not a benz forum. As for the m5 sounded better than a Ferrari not to sure on that one. I guess sound of the motor is like music, there is something for everyone.

I recently had a chance to drive next to a Ferrari 550 (Maranello) under normal driving conditions and must say that the 12 cylinders under the hood produced a beautiful sound. Not deep or throaty but somewhat like a Ducatti.

Then he took off and the pitch of the motor went up similar to a F1 car accelerating out of a corner. Pure sweetness. I guess he got tired of me lingering around in my "lowly" German car.

Yeah sure. It's a known fact that the Ferrari engines are one of the best and sound like the very best, but for me naaah. Give me the straight 6 M3 CSL and with half of the money on that Ferrari i can make him eat biimer dust!
Sorry at the Top Gear test when they tested the CSL on the isle smth...i just went WHOOA when i heard the CSL's sound at peak power.
