Which would you rather have???

HRC · 04-16-2007, 02:09 AM

Tough call, but today I think I would take the Merc. The jet-like trust must be satisfyiing to the soul...

GuyOh · 04-16-2007, 02:09 AM

luxury -> CL
handling -> M5

soo M5 for me

///M_owns_you · 04-16-2007, 02:40 AM

i dunno this is what is making it a difficult choice for me. A Designo edition mystic white CLS63 fully loaded with some 21 or 22" HRE's with either color matched white centers or black centers, and some sort of an exhuast say like Brabus......or a Sapphire black M5 with 21-22" HRE's with flat black centers and some coil overs.....But you CANNOT beat the M5's absolutely GORGEOUS sound...omg, no v-8 can compare, which is what the cls has. I think im for the M5

Zeiss · 04-16-2007, 02:51 AM

Maybe this will push your button...

Kreissieg Cat-back F1 VT Exhaust for the M5

///M_owns_you · 04-16-2007, 02:58 AM

that and some SS headers......yea forget the cls
im with the M5!

Chris.G · 04-16-2007, 03:11 AM

cls all the way buddy!!!

M5

... if for no other reason, I hate driving automatics no matter how fast they claim to shift, they are no fun.

adamr · 04-16-2007, 06:24 AM

///M5 ... CLS just good in a straight ... ///M is def more fun ... but the new CL63 and 65 looks f$%^en awesome, local MB dealer has a black CL63 on their floor, i did not know that car was even launched ...

Hey..mine is loads o' fun. CLS is sleek and unique looking. Read the headroom in back lacks a bit. Coin flip.

pokerface · 04-16-2007, 07:50 AM

no poll?

fobunited · 04-16-2007, 10:18 AM

I hate how people assume AMG models are only good "in a straight line." Have you ever driven one? I have an E63 and for daily driving, it handles extremely well. Have in mind, there's also an M6 on order coming in July.

It really depends on what you're buying the car FOR. If you're buying a car to pimp out and strut around the streets and beat most everything on the road, then get the AMG.

If you want a car that you can track every so often, get the M5.

If you REALLY want something to push, get a used 55, the torque is amazing. I definitely see alot more M5s than I do 63 models, however, so if you're looking for something more rare, the 63 models seem to be the way to go. If you're spending that kinda dough for a head turner, why not get a Maserati?

hemi to e90 · 04-16-2007, 10:33 AM

NIETHER

CLS55, tuned

my uncle has one of them..... forget the M5, the CLS 55 can have better noise, better brakes, better road manners, especially over 120. and its always has the ability to make max hp, and have max traction. AND LOOK NO I-DRIVE!

only time i would take the m5 is if i were doing serious track time.... but then id get the M6

trust me, having driven the CLS55, CLS63, and M5, its the CLS 55

granted if it has to be new, then its the M5

FotiosF90M5 · 04-16-2007, 10:35 AM

thats a really tough call.I think I would have to go with the mercedes.Im a diehard bmw fan but that benz is just beautiful.I'd probably lose my mind if I actually had to choose.

06330i · 04-16-2007, 12:51 PM

cls 63. i like the aggressiveness of the car.

Revlis · 04-16-2007, 01:39 PM

CLS63!!!!

They just look amazing... I don't even like Merc, but I like that car a lot. Besides, I can have the CLS for awhile, then trade it in on the M5 and keep it.

just4kickz · 04-16-2007, 02:11 PM

Agree with you.
I wouldn't even want to take m5 on a track. If I'm serious track guy I would buy an Elise for tracks and M5 for daily. Anytime the talk start between BMW and Merc, ppl say Bimmer FTW (track is where it counts). Half of the ppl who own BMW never even been on the track. I'm sure merc handling is good, may be not where bimmer's at but perfect enough for daily driving. Besides I remember on Top Gear CSL55 did very very close on the track to M5s time. You should take all those cars for a spin and see which one you like more.

MB has something very weird going on with their steering where it stiffens up considerably over 50mph. I had to wrestle the steering wheel to make it get around a jughandle in an E55 AMG.
If the CLS63 AMG steers anything like an E55 AMG than its no contest the M5 wins.
