personally, m5 gets my vote, the v10, just sick

e55 is a close 2nd, that engine roars and tuning it is so easy, drivetrain is very strong too

+1 for the M5, I like that bodystyle/motor/setup.

Interesting thing is, I don't recall the previous generation M5 winning any comparisons at all LOL, whereas the E39 M5 won almost all comparisons that it was in ...

Last gen M5? Is an E60 replacement out already?


I voted for the M5 assuming it's the E39. If it's the E60, I might have to commit suicide.

M5 if you want the all rounder...

E55 if you like to drive in a straight line... or want more luxury...

You just need to be part of the Saudi Royal Family as these things will struggle to keep in the mid teens for MPG...

f10 m5 isn't out yet, but then e60 m5 has stopped production as well

from my understanding, you can kill yourself now

honestly if there is a new e39 side by side with e60 m5, i probably would choose the e39, that car was just awesome, even though it's "only" a v8 with 400hp.

but between e60 m5 and w211 e55, i have to choose e60 m5. so much more balanced and better car to drive. the e55 is a rocket when you gun it, but on corners and such, it feels heavier and front heavy. and i pick the e55 before e63 coz' it's more tunable

I'm a fan of the e60 M5.

I don't understand people's dislike of its design. I find it appropriately handsome and conservative for BMW.

I like the M5 simply b/c of the screaming V10

and personally, after seeing the new 5 series, bangle designs is actually pretty nice

Out of these cars, which one is more reliable.......um, will give me the less headache..........or less trip to the shop???
I would like to know

Why are people voting for the E55 over the E63?

Price? Reliability? Other? Some combination?
