I've driven an E55 AMG. Never driven an S55 AMG.. E55 is very very quick, lots of power and torque. The ride is stiffer (as to be expected) than the regular E. If you want all out go with the S55 AMG..Of course the price is a difference as well..

Good points - that's my main concern. I'm guessing these beasts eat up tires like M5's do too. That's why I thought I'd solicit some experience feedback. I suppose I could get my lazy azz over to a merc board too, but I like chatting with you guys way better!

AMG cars are fast, but their handling has something that is left to be desired. Even non-M BMW with sport packages handle better than some AMG cars.

MBs are spotty on reliability. And I think the E-class has a brake-by-wire that's prone to malfunction and lacks any sort of linear feel. And think about it........do you really want a brake system that's prone to problems?? It's basically a German muscle car that can only go fast in the straights. I'd opt for an Audi if you don't want BMW.

Got to be honest here, you NEVER want to buy a used AMG, one of my friends bought a used 2006 cls55 AMG, two days later there were 3 malfuntions and with no reputation at the dealer = no loaner cars
