Damn I was reading that post and for a second got confused how an E63 or and S65 or an A8 could be compared to an M5. Though I think and could be wrong that the E class is same class as a 5 series I doubt never having driven either that it can outperform an M5 and as Dinan said anyone buying an M5 hoping for a "civil" ride is a complete moron ahem ahem Bavarian
