F10 still looks better to me.

The f10 looked boxy to me. To each his though I guess.

The M5 has always been a wolf in sheeps clothing

I agree, but times are changing and people want more AND different nowadays. BMW needs to acknowledge and adapt to this ASAP!

The new E63S is a far better looking sedan both inside and out. Far more aggressive looking as well.

I actually don't care for the droopy rear end and the (what I view as cartoonish) interior, or the bug-eyed headlight look. The MB is a wonderful automobile for all those lucky enough to buy it. That's just my opinion, of course. So I prefer the M5 albeit that doesn't matter because I prefer smaller sedans.

Edit: to be fair I think these individual colors don't suit the car. I'd take the marina bay blue in a heartbeat though

The e63s looks weak in most colors. Yes the matte finishes and grey look aggressive with the black wheels but the white and silver ones I see with standard wheels look like any normal e class with an AMG package.

Meh. MB makes flashy, flamboyantly styled cars for people who want attention and fall for gimmicks. The E63s is yet another rendition of this played out styling language. Blows my mind as well that people can like the AMG interiors with all of those ugly, gaping vents. Flat bottom steering wheel? In an executive saloon? Lmao... cheesy does it, I guess.

Not sure why admin or OP listed the blue as mexico blue. Mexico blue is not a BMW color. So they wouldn't release it here.

Agreed 100%. That is why MB cars become dated quite quickly. Unlike BMWs that 10-20 year old cars still look good on the road. You hardly see old MB cars on the road at least in England
