Which one… The MB is auto only The MB will also have a higher ownership cost (massive brakes!!) M5 is significantly slower M5 is on an older body style ---

I’d give my left nut for an M5. The AMG has never done anything for me, mainly because if I’m going to shell out a ton of money on a fast car I’d damn well better be able to change my own gears. I don’t care if it’s slower or an older body style. It’s still fast and sexy by anyone sane person’s standards. As far as driving fun goes, no clutch no care. ---

You don’t want an E55. Those brakes are so weird. I would rather poke my eyes with a tuning fork than have to drive one of those for any length of time. ---
