GT2RS is a beautiful car...if I may offer some advice on the modding front: being FI and V8's - there is an obvious path. I would not go too far beyond tune, exhaust and downpipes as the trans may be a weak link - along with rods/pistons. Even with just what I listed above - you can make the cars relatively peppy - I would say 700-750 whp - so about 900 HP depending on how aggressive you tune the car.

And interestingly - if I were you - these would be the cars I mod (versus the other cars you have). They are good candidates.

Good luck!

I am sure you are. That garage is above and beyond the 1%...by a long shot.

I will say the sound the E63 makes is a drug... the only thing that worries me about the M5 is the exhaust note and that the styling is more subdued.

Damn man.. you have both?!

I currently own an M550i so I'm assuming driving the M5 won't be too drastically different.

get the m5 its always faster and more fun jk this time its just too close to call and if u have m550i heck even if u had f10 528 id say get the e63. this new m5 is a bit underhwelming in personm looks like an f10 facelift or soemshjt and nto even better just looks like they took f10 and threw on f80 m3 styling(which imo looks off on a big luxury sedan).

I got to testdrive the F90 last weekend..in the rain.. for anyone doubting to buy it let me tell you it sounds and drives amazing!

The exhaust is amazing in sport+ especially with the extra burbles but you can basically hear the real one anytime you want while driving! Imho they really got the customisability right on this one! The grip levels are just crazy!

The M5, all day, every day.
If I was the head of a mafia clan, however, I'd take the MB - but then I probably wouldn't know any better...

Variety is the spice of life

Nice

I would take the M5 over the E63S

Additional M Performance parts will turn M5 into a beast looking ultimate driving machine.

Based on looks alone...That Black E63s looks the goods, I wouldn't get that jazzed about the "5" exhaust note, although might be surprised.

Why do I have both?
I have a lot of cars as I collect. I am up to 35 now. My wife and I like super sedan cars so we switch off cars for our DD with our Range Rover autobiography as well.
My E63S is being bought back by Mercedes due to many issues ( had a pre October build date) so IÂ’m getting the M5 for now and already ordered a replacement E63s for July delivery.

This is my E63 in my garage

F50... and a cheeky SLR.
You sir are a proper enthusiast.

Aesthetically, the Benz is more appealing to me.

The E63s wagon on display at the Rolex 24 was getting all of the love even with the GT nearby. I fell hard!

That F50, tho...and that black E63S's curves look good under that light. And you know, AMG is gonna make sure that have that brassy V8 sound. They have that down pat, compared to M Division. Even the e39 M5's exhaust needed help from the aftermarket. E60, not so much. F10, farted like grandpa at the dinner table.

The M5's styling from the first gen onwards has always been subdued. It was known as the wolf in sheep's clothing. And that is what you want, right? Second thought, judging by the collection maybe not, I mean, it ain't Chevy SS subdued, but it has just enough to let others know that it ain't a M550i.

Again, that F50...nice collection.

Holy shit, I don't care about either the m5 or the e63s.....who are you and what do you do??!!! Lol.

I'm going to have to reverse search that image to make sure it's not a damn poster!! Lol. Holy shit.....

Outstanding, surprised folks that own the cars pictured are even on forums (especially this one!)

Every once in a while Glickenhaus posts on some forums.
But, it does surprise you when you get the car enthusiast from the higher echelons posting.

Sorry man, you have the ugly duckling by far when it comes to super sedans. That's not to say the RS7 isn't an absolute beast, because it is. It's just not a pretty sight while it's putting down it's very impressive numbers.

Enthusiasts are enthusiasts. Where better to spend time when online?

The forums at the end of the day are the best way to stay informed on some cars.
That is why I post on here and some other forums.

From the article: "No, it’s down to BMW’s marketing department, which has been pushing for all-wheel drive as a must-have at the top end of the premium segment for years."

I disagree. I love RWD and find it perfect in my E39 M5 and Z4M coupe. For my F80 M5 competition, I feel the power overwhelms the RWD platform and think it would benefit from M xDrive. I also appreciate the care that M has seemingly placed in making M xDrive rear-biased.

It is interesting to me to watch to convergence of these cars. Years ago, when I bought my 2002 E39 M5, I didn't consider the W210 E55. They are both fun cars in their own right, but so different: one MT only, one auto only; one known for finesse, one for straight line grunt, etc. There was a reason you chose one or the other. Now, BMW M and MB AMG seem to be trying to build exactly the same car.

I'm not saying this a bad thing, but I'm a little sad. Even a MT option would differentiate the F90 M5, but I really do understand why this is not being offered.

Great article. M5 all day long for me

[bm323]

"The BMW M5 is keener to knuckle down and be serious. Its 592bhp lags slightly behind the E63S, but it feels more agile, and to a greater degree than its slim 25kg weight advantage suggests. It favours assertiveness over aggression, and its steering is quicker, its pedals more responsive and its front tyres more willing to bite. That also means it can snap a bit quicker than the Merc, which seems to slide in slow-motion. The M5’s engine has sound fed into the cabin, and it’s sharper and higher pitched. The thunderous AMG appears to be gargling its own mechanical components in comparison....

The BMW remains a touch more serious, and the more cossetting car, while the Merc’s a touch more aloof, more willing to have fun. The M5 may be the one piping its sound through the speakers, but it’s the E63S that bombards you with engine noise, even at sedate speeds. It’s the one I can’t help immaturely hoofing out of junctions, V8 rumble soundtracking a quarter-turn of opposite lock. While the pair’s performance and abilities are impossible to split, the attitude they encourage from their driver is starting to diverge....

Even after 1,500 miles, I’m torn. The BMW is the more rounded, comfy car. It covers all bases with a staggering depth of engineering, and might well be the most complete sports saloon ever. To an enthusiast, though, such completeness can be a help and a hindrance. The Merc is less couth, bigger hearted and encourages its driver to be more playful. Particularly if they’re on a frozen lake. Oh, and it comes as an estate, too. The AMG edges it.'
