Which car would you guys choose? The New Bmw M5 or MB E55 AMG? Compare!

[rong_feng]

Hello i was talking about this topic at work today, and we stirred up quite an argument on which is better in terms of price, performance and excitement of driving.

I was wondering what you guys would choose if you had to pick between these 2 cars and please explain!

oops *edit* i meant bmw m5

Well one is the size of a Civic and the other is the size of an Accord, so it depends on whether you want a Civic or an Accord.

sorry i meant the bmw m5, my mistake.

There isn't any E55 AMG, it has been replaced by the E63 AMG.

With that said, I can't decide I need to try them out ;) Though I'm tempted to say I rather have the Audi S6 due to it's styling alone.

NO NO!! Not the S6....get the RS4...now thattttts another storyy..

RS4 is a beast... but why not save half ur money and get a 335i coupe. According to C&D it is faster on the track.

you get what you want, I get what I want, simple isn't it?

[chickenbones]

Why argue? Since this is hypothetical world, just buy one of each, M5, E63 AMG, S6, RS4, M3. Whatever everyone's happy.

[Narci]

I use to have a C36 and there were always arguements on which is better, M3 or C36/C43.

General consensus was:

If you want a smooth straight luxo ride that can go fast, MB.

If you wanted a sporty cornering luxo ride that can go fast, BMW.

M5 for me, only becaue it can be had with the proper transmission. If you need automatic, then you don't need 500hp.

MB S63 because I can't forgive what Bangle has done to BMW.

edit: but do i ever want those rims. droool

You realize they had to detune the power for the manual because the manual transmission can't handle the torque, right?

Race cars don't have clutches or manual transmissions - they're too slow, get over it. :lol:

Saw one in the parking lot the other day, definitely a hot ride!

I would choose M5 over the E55 for sure just because the E55 is old. :twisted:

[bionicbadger]

Neither, get the 2008 RS6

Why not? Well because the 335i ain't no RS4 :P

LOL. Unfortunately the RS4 is horribly overpriced in Canada though.
