however let's not forget this the m5 vs. e63 "S". technically a fair review would be m5 cp vs. e63 s if you really want to be fair so having said that the m5 is holding its ground very very well if you ask me. |

why didn't he make a legit attempt do see what RWD time could be acheived? why bother if all you are you going to do is make no effort to "drive" the car. I'd be more impressed to watch someone with some driving skills get as close to the "computer's" time as possible.

Oddly enough I've never owned an MB. I would probably pick the E63S over the F90 though. But mostly because my current the F10M5 doesn't differ enough to make me want the new one. Like I said, both are beautiful cars that do what they are supposed too. It's all subjective, just wanted to point out the performance is so close it probably isn't the deciding factor when choosing between the two. |

Weight less. Have huge rear tires. Engine is in a totally different spot. More aggressive transmission. Less drag coefficient.

I recently test drove the E63S and while it was certainly impressive performance wise I wasn’t blown away with the style / design. I love my F10 M5 and will more than likely go the F90 M5 route based on design as performance, like you mentioned, is a wash.

My 991.2 Carrera S, with only 420hp and 369lb-ft of torque, does 0-60 in 3.1s as tested by Motortrend, because it only weighs 3100lb, the engine is over the rear-wheel where it needs traction, and standard rear tires are 305 Pirelli P Zeros. All that paired with one of the best DCT transmission and software in the business. 0-60 times and quarter miles is irrelevant in everyday driving unless this is how you drive.

Totally agree!! Despite comparable performance, this car is not much different than the current F10.. besides the obvious upgrades BMW had to do in order to keep up with rest of the competition.. i love my F10 but for starters it would be nice if one didn't have to buy an aftermarket exhaust to even remotely get close to benz oem exhaust note.. |

getting an M throw out exhaust note or know you'll need some type of modification. getting an AMG well expect to burn some rubber and if you care about 0-60 times you'll be golden. f90 vs. e63s has really narrowed down those options and it truly does come down to personal preference now. competition is great imo because for the first time in my life i will be looking elsewhere for my next lease. someone somewhere is doing their job right for once and it's not bmw |

It's not a fair comparison an E63S vs a base M5. It would be better to compare an M5 competition vs the E63S.
I can't wait to own an M5 competition pack in the next couple of years once I've had enough of the M3 (which I love). BMW has nailed it with this car. The rear of the E63 just looks terrible - exactly like a C class. The rear styling of the F80 and the previous and current generation M5 is near perfect imo. The only thing the M5 misses out on is slightly flared rear wheel arches which would give it a more aggressive look but I suppose that's not the target audience |

I am going to see which car feels quicker, my 570GT or the M5 once I take delivery. But these are two completely different sets of cars as stated above. 0-60 numbers don't mean much. My 570 has a listed 0-60 of 3.4 but people have been getting sub 3 seconds with it in launch mode. But, how often are we launching these cars? I would say highway passing speed and low end torque means much more.
The few millisecond differences in 0-60 mean nothing. Also, I am sure some people here drive around over 5-6k revs on a daily basis, but I would really piss off the neighbors if I did that . |
