BMW M5 Vs. Mercedes E55

[NWATA]

Which do you prefer or which will you buy first when the games realesed

[Gaskellorama]

Gone mercedes seeming as unless i've missed something BMW aren't going to be in the game

[leighton]

ooooo, its neck and neck! M5 all the way!

[gaiozi]

BMW M5 if this car in game :mefiant:

[davie18]

No BMWs are in yet, so you cant say which car you will buy yet.

[MclarenSLR]

Its a shame that EA arnt giving the Porsche lisence to Atari for this game!!! but i guess they got Ruff!! lets go and burn down EA Games!!!

YAY...Maybe theyll start to make good games after that :laugh: Yeah right

[MclarenSLR]

u never no

[ich122]

the M5 is the one and only for this game, a mercedes e is nothing special here in germany, because mostly every taxi is an e and i wouldnt buy a pumped up of that car, also the m5 is better to drift, because you cant put the esp totaly off in a mercedes, in a bmw you can.

[ChrisKob11]

I think M5, mercedes is to heavy to drift :nuts: :bravo:

[MclarenSLR]

on TDU can you turn traction controll on and off. and another gadgets that the car has e.g ESP

[KoenigViper]

I'd have to choose the E55 considering the M5 is non-existant and I'd be throwing away $81,000 for nothing. tonguegre

They're close in real life, but the M5 is proven to be quite a bit better.
It's a little more "bang for your buck" with a 500HP V10 @ $81,000 (recently marked down from $85,000 here) compared to the E55's AMG 469Hp Supercharged V8 @ $82,575.

[Vieon]

In my opinion, the M5 is expensive and ugly. The Merc is expensive too, but it's not quite as ugly, and the badge is better.

[the_gaming_guy]

I have become in love with the new Merc CL.

[Vieon]

Try the CLS, I keep telling you this tonguegre

[the_gaming_guy]

I know, it used to be the CLS in my mind,

but,

I can't get over the frond end of the new CL.

Im with you Gaming guy !!!

[Vieon]

Sexy I know... but the back end is horrendous, whereas the CLS is perfect in every way :)

[the_gaming_guy]

Oh but the front. Imagine the respect you'd get from that.

Its just perfect.

However, i do agree, the back looks a bit sloppy. Might look good with an AMG bodykit.

[ich122]

the front of the new cl looks great, a bit like the s-class and the back looks a bit like the slk. the mix of a s, csl and slk looks interesting, but i would prefer other cars.
anyway, if somebody want to get wallpapers of the new cl, look here: http://www.desktopmachine.com/cars/9-Mercedes-Benz%20wallpapers.html?t=22

thats where i got my wallpaper.

How About An M6
:wink2:

[Vieon]

M6's are very cool, but VERY VERY pricey when you could get an SL55 for the same money :)

[the_gaming_guy]

An SL55 costs £17,000 more!

[KoenigViper]

True, but its V8 only produces 382 horses and is a conv. giving the 500Hp V10 Coupe a better chance.

We'll have to wait until the M6 Conv. this fall to pitch it against the SLs and get a better comparison.

As for pricing, a SL550 goes for $95,000 here. The M6 Coupe sits at $96,000.

[the_gaming_guy]

UK - £80,000 M6
£97,000 sl55 amg.

[KoenigViper]

I know. I didn't put the 0 on the end. I'm guessing he was referring to SL550 when comparing prices.

EDIT:
The SL55 AMG is $35,000 more here.

[Vieon]

Good point.

*tries to dig himself out of hole*

Maybe if you bought the SL55 second hand?

What is a SL550 i've never heard of 550. There is only SL350, SL500, SL600, SL55 AMG and SL65 AMG. No SL550. At least what I know. Am I right?

[the_gaming_guy]

Lol.

Its alright, i'm in love with the new CL.

The SL550 replaced the SL500 this year.

[LabaLaba]

The SL550 replaced the SL500 this year.
No, at least the offical website doesn't say so. And it's the facelift 2006 model.

Edit: It says SL550 on the USA site and SL500 on the UK site.
