My Ride: 2008 E60 M5/SMG (LCI)
Interlagos Blue/Black Merino
Aux input, sun protection glass, Bluetooth, Voice control
E60 made it to number 49 on the list of i think 157 cars..
that's actually not bad..
almost all MB's are 100+ which is dreadful.
top 10 mainly Japs with a couple of Skoda's chucked in.
bottom mostly populated with French cars..

Did anyone else here enter the survey - I did...
Shame about the M6 though! (Coming 'last' to the 911 and Aston)

P.S. Edited: I misread the MB result earlier. Sorry. Still, I wish we all could speak respectivefully of all others. "Jap?" A pejorative, right?

Fully agree with the rating on the Merc M-Class. Jesus - that was the biggest pile of crap I've ever had the misfortune of owning. First and last Merc I ever buy.
On the E60 I would have thought it would have been up with the old E39!

I'm a bit disappointed with 49th position and would have expected BMW to have been in the top 20 at least. Is it a case that BMW owners have high expectations and are more critical than say Skoda owners? Are Honda and Lexus really that good? Doubt it.

I entered the survey.
No surprise about the Japanese cars being on top but surprised that Skoda do better than the mainstream VW and Audi when components are roughly the same.
