Hey guys,
Simple as that.Which one would you choose???I know the 760i is more nice and bla bla bla but dont you think that the e55 holds its value as well??E55 has a much better Hp and torque.Would driving a v12 engine be better than riding a v8 engine with a lot more hp and torque?Thanks for your help!

Why would you compare that two? I think a better comparison would be S55 amg with the 760i..

Well I would get the 760i because it handles better. Haven't driven one but drove 745i and E55 before and E55 sucks big time in the handling dept. Well its true I would rather compare S55 against the 760 bit since you are comparing cars of different calibre, I would also put the CLS55 in as well. Drove one and handling is alot better than the E class....feels way sportier, except for lousy headroom in the rear. There, one more car to make the choice harder....

I'm sorry but this time i would go for the benz. E55 handling isn't that bad, i have test drove one before and the power is... 
FANTASTIC. The only downside of this car i think is the brakes... :thumbsdown:
Another reason that i wouldn't take the 760i is because i don't think i need such a roomy interior at this time of my life. I would only go for the 7-series if you have a chaffeur and you can enjoy the comfort at the rear seats. (Just like indo you know..)
So personally, i wouldn't want to drive a 7-series for school..
But comparing with 650i.. i would still stick with that car. You won't regret it, E63 is an excellent car with performance and comfort.

Yup....if I was given the choice I would either stick with the 650 or get CLS 55. E class handling is really really crappy. How do I know...I drove it aggressively around tight corners near my house.....the steering feel is REALLY bad. brakes....not that good but the handling sucks alot when compared to the 545.

So we got jeff saying handling sucks..soc says its allrite except the brakes...no cls man! im not crazy enough to drive one of this car to my school since its downright ghetto..its a weekend car 
true about the comfort soc mentioned...need a driver to drive this to school..that would just be awesome...i think i have to test drive the e55 to get a handle of the car...
my dad was complaining to me about the 650 as its not the most practical car
anybody knows the feeling of driving a v12?
e55
pros:HP, torque,smaller car,practical,straight line race car!!
cons:brakes?,handling?,facelift on the 2007(anyone heard this rumor)?
760
pros:luxury,v12,handling
cons:size(a bit too big),a heftier price tag,older engine
650
pros:handling,model
cons:not very practical
anybody care to add?

All are nice cars, just depend on what u really need from the car; space, luxury, or 2 seater.
I realize that my car is abit too small now, so i would opt for a black 7er plus chipping to match mb v12. But if u like to go mtn driving, 6er is best. MB is more for downtown driving and the looks. hehe.

m5lover....I know the feeling of racing against one and driving one. Friend has a Bentley Continental GT and DB9, both cars bone-stock. Me in my 545 and he in his GT at 80mph....told him to punch it. I was in 3rd at 75mph working my way up to abt 100mph. He purposely hit it 2 seconds late and the effect was amazing. Within 3 seconds he overtook me. His exhaust note was out of this world and the car passed my poor little 545 as if I was a parked car....no kidding. By the time I hit 125mph he already hit 175mph and still going strong. Sat in teh DB9 once and he gunned it from 60mph....I swear 60-150mph felt like 0-60mph in my car, and i am not exaggerating.....so thats how i experienced V12 power....
