car 6: M6

sepang bronze, with extended merino leather in sepang bronze... brand new with all toys
Having gone BMW -> Merc-> BMW, there's no question unless you like driving with the feel of driving your living room couch around. M6 all the way baby!!!!!!! Not a doubt in my mind.

If i were you i would take either car 5 or car 6. I like more car 5 in terms of colours and interior but since car 6 is brand new, you can be sure and that way you can brake it in yourself.

MBs have a ton of reliability problems..but they also have alot of power...
the CLS does look good...
id go for the CLS or the M5..

as a daily car the CLS has the comfort and power.. auto gearbox... but you already got a 7er and a S-class,,,
but for the experience the m5 is amazing, SMG, as a track car.. it will be alot of fun,, but i dont think it will be as practical as the CLS...

Id get the CLS...

nice spread of answers:

now lets have a look:

Hythe : No alpina for me, since BMW bulgaria will not accept any warranty it may have, and will not repair it... How stupid is that ?

gpt: Although this may be true of your average C180Kompressor, i dont think you have driven AMG products lately?


Anyways, ill make sure i get to spend some quality time in demo AMGs and ///Ms and get a good feel for them. So far i have driven more ///Ms, whereas i have only been a passenger in AMGs...

That's a shame - still, I have a simple solution - move to another country!
