PS: M5 sportier and better handling. As usually complaints on SMG
That's what i want when i buy a new super sedan, practicabilty with alot of sport character and more than decent luxury. Not the other way around. Straight line acceleration, handling and braking are chapters where the M5 outperforms the E63 it seems. 0-200km/h down by 2 seconds is quite some time.
And to mention that the E63 will be 10k more or so given the market.But i'm not sure what the verdict means?! Best allrounder? Why? Because of the torquier engine? Cuz it seems that the M5 outperforms it at any chapter as they say. Best comfort!?! Oh yeaaah gimme comfort baby. Maybach here i come!!!

Why do they keep complaining about smg? It's like they 1st saw idrive....because the gearbox is to harsh for town driving? Well...that's pretty much what you get when you want that particular gearbox to be able to change gear in 65ms in S6 from time to time. You can't have that at your disposal and...let's say the comfort of a slushbox. You can't have both. And like Tiff said you just have to learn to lift off a bit to make the change in S5 even smoother than the one without lift off in S1 or whatever.

Can anyone find a comparo of the CLS63 and the M5. If I remember correct the old CLS55 was faster than the M5 on the straights it would be interesting to see how the 63 car would stack up.

Not really, I try to log on every now and then but dont have much time. I heard about the 63 havent seen it myself. Old man is taking his time. It probably wont be the merc though, too unspectacular in the looks and tax departments
