Been thinking about getting rid of the E55 and going back to an SUV. I miss driving SUVs and I’ve always loved Jack’s SRT8. My question if you guys had to choose from an X5M which is a 4.4L turboed SUV or the ML63 AMG with was is a 6.2L NA which would you want and why? The AMG will sound badass but I know the X5M is a little quicker. ---

why not a brand new SRT-8 ?? how about a cayanne GTS (a great value blend in their lineup) I would take the BMW if I had to pick between those two. ---

G55s are still a little too expensive for what I’m looking to spend. 80k and up I might as well get a 2012 E63 and have a 10sec car with just a tune and the G55 is terrible on gas. I definitely think the X5M has the most potential power wise which is making me lean that way. But I do find the ML better looking and I am a bit biased towards mercedes been driving them since I was 16. Hadn’t put much thought into the cayenne they are the slowest of the 3 but not really by much. Im looking from 09-11 and the porsche are still pretty expensive. X5M 12.5-12.7 (11.9 with tune) ML63 13.0 (12.5 with tune) Cayenne 13.2 (unknown with tune) Not that those matter just pointing out where each stands. ---

Go BMW. Any 63 AMG is slower than advertised. The mod-ability of the TT is also a huge plus if you go that route. ---

The X5 ///M is a BLAST to drive. That gets my vote… But last I checked they are still like an $80k car. ---
