Personally, outside the M2 and G20 3-series, I just cannot warm up to BMW's EPS. Even in the 3er, it's barely passable.

My interpretation was that he found the MB to have more soul, rather than the M5 steering being the reason he chose the Merc.
I own an F80 comp with MPE and also my C63S. I know dynamically, the BMW is better, but I love the engine - and sound - in the 63 so use it far more. For me to choose between the M5 and E63, I would need to drive both for a week. At the time of writing, I don't know which I would choose. Maybe I have got old overnight, but with them both being so quick already, a couple of the tenths quicker to 60, wouldn't matter to me.
