Question Which would u have: 05/06 used e55 or new c63?

I have been shopping for months on finding a nice white 05/06 not abused white e55 to replace my m3 as my 4-door daily driver. Can't seem to find one that is well taken cared of, not abused and at the right price.

With all this talk about the new c-class (which I have always hated) for their crappy interior space and ugly design, I decided to go drive a new c-class. I actually like the new look and have been now inching towards the upcoming c63 amg car.

Price is about the same as a used e55 and I really need a 4-door car so the new m3 is out.

Are dealers taking spots for these cars or are they going to be readily available? I will want a white or gun-metal c63 amg.

which car is faster stock? e55 or the new c63?



thanks
rick

DynamicMotoring is infamous around these parts
They're going to be veeeery close. C63 weighs less by about 400lbs, but is a little bit underpowered, and the 55 series engine has a better power/torque curve. I think the new C class looks good, and the C63 looks downright sick, but I would still take the E55. If you want one, you should have a dealer find you a certified model.

Just making sure you know the upcoming m3 is going to be avail. in 4 door form in the near future.

That said, C63 looks like a ****.
