Merc AMGs have never been "sexy" to me. Their styling is curvy/ and awkward especially with those terribly ugly wheels. They look like dressed up versions of cars that were never meant to see a track.
BMW is always the most handsome car. Perfect proportions, chiseled muscular look, no awkward angles. |

Merc fanboys got all excited over the bs Carwow race. Yet every single other race by other outlets has had the Bimmer win. Maybe Watson is just a tool?

BMW played it far too safe on the 7-series interior but they got it damn right on this new 5er. M5's cabin looks incredibly modern and objectively of higher quality than the Mercs (which has some cheap plastics). |

Off topic, but I really want that polished concrete course in my backyard.

Do Mercedes still have that weird 4th pedal parking brake you operate with your walking stick?

It's all a question of taste and ultimately cars for a somewhat different customer. The E63s is not really meant to be a dual personality car as the M5. The M5 is much softer and quieter in its "civilized" setting and then you can open it up if you like. A very practical car. The Mercedes is more aggressive and louder and that's in comfort mode. More single purpose I suppose. More like a Swiss army knife vs a bowie knife Swiss Army knife is definitely a better tool. That said, I like our E63s perhaps because it isn't low key. For that reason I am keen on the upcoming M8; the M5 is a bit too subtle for me. Personally I don't get fanboyism; these are all very cool, incredibly capable cars and they all satisfy for a while until boredom sets in or the next shiny toy arrives... |

So this looks identical to the course at the Porsche Experience Center in LA. I drove the 991 GTS, Turbo and GT3 there. Quite fun! You can make out the Cayenne off-roading practice area in a couple parts but they do a pretty good job of hiding the Porsche stuff.

I agree with what was said above, the E63S is more single-minded in its approach. It handles remarkably well and always feels and sounds like a sporty car. It doesn't have such a wide spread between its comfort and sporty modes, some people will prefer that and some prefer supreme comfort on normal drives and a big change when they switch into sport. |

Performance wise these two cars are very close. E63s' exhaust note is definitely more aggressive. Last edited by neohh; 06-05-2018 at 06:59 PM.. |
