In the UK issue of drive this month, from what I can gather at a quick read, they pick the M5 over CLS55 (even though they said it was very close). They said when you turn the electronics is off the Merc is all over the place, and the M5 goes exactly where you tell it. Then they went on to test it against the 911. The 911 is pure, but the M5 is the better package. From what I can gather.

He means the 911 is > (greater than) the m5. Its a math and science term.

The new 911 is nice.. But I would rather have an M5 because it's more practical and just as fast..
