Help me decide : 2015 M5 w/ competition Or E63 AMG S
Well It's time again to order the new toy.
All the experts here who have experienced driving both the latest M5 and E63 AMG S model. Please give your honest opinion. I have never driven any AMG , but driven other non AMG mercedes cars and hate how light is the steering weight. Are the AMG steering feel different , meaning it's more tight,precise and more road feel ? Price is not an issue , both spec out almost the same. How about ceramic breaks ? I'll never go on tracks but do they cut down the brake dust ? I hate break dust. The only reason in favor of E63 AMG is the AWD and safer to drive. Any other issues with E63 , handling , transmission etc ? I had pre LCI M5 so I know about M5. Thanks !

Though I don't entirely agree with how bashing the review of E63S AMG especially I test drove CLS63 AMG PP and was really good though I wasn't that blown away like M5 which isn't even CP but still very close. |

from driving the cls63 which is essentially the same as the e63. the steering is very light. which i hated at the time. but after selling it and going to the m5, i would rather have the amg steering back. its better to be light, than artificially weighted, which is what the m5 has. the cls63 steering while light, at least felt natural. as well, nice light steering is easier on the arms.
looks wise the m5 is definitely better looking than the e63. its just butt ugly. cls63 on the other hand is much better looking. so go for that one instead. just as fast as the e63, but much much better looks. |

This is a BMW M5 board. I think it is pretty safe to say that the responses you get here are going to be slightly biased (just as the would the other way if you put this up on MBWorld.com).
