I heard Gintani is building a supercharger for the E60 M5.

 

That sounds great.
ESS was supposed to be releasing a SC'er for the M5 also but so far no information.
The S85 is a great engine and just begging for forced induction.

ESS has been saying they are going to release a blower for the M5 for over a year I think.

Gintani is a much better company and they are going to be starting soon...

You should have one of your m5's turboed and the other supercharged.

 

more modding capability on the 55....and i love the looks. (i love the m5 too but 4 friends of mine have it so its lost its appeal to me personally)

 

Cls 55

 

Okay so I know several friends who have a GT3 so the car now has no appeal? What?

M5 all the way.
Nice V10.

 

The cls has much more torque esp the supercharged 55 as compared to the newer 63

M5 wins hands down for driving dynamics, There not even close in this aspect.

 

The M5 is an easy choice.. The CLS is bling only but not a drivers machine like the M5.. On the highway i leave EVERY SINGLE Merc for Dead.. Stoplight to stoplight they move ok Because of the TQ..

90% of the cars i have run on the highway with my M5 i have never needed to spray and that includes quite few bikes as well.. if you have never driven an M5 from 70-170 then you havent driven an M5.. I have gotten a clean 195mph on GPS all motor and it feels SOLID..

You tell them Mike. The M5 is money. As said, I've never lost to a CLS55.
The M5 is a "top ender" on high speed runs. It loves to stretch its legs.

This is true, but lets be honest, the 55's can be seriously tuned and trap in the 130's.

I don't doubt what you say, but the strongest 55's out there are much stronger than the strongest NA M5's, from a stop or from a roll. The M5 is still the superior vehicle IMO and with some boost... well

 

never was a bmw guy at all, don't like the way they drive

cls hands down in my book

 

You prefer the way a Mercedes drives? Hmm... I like the way they "drive" when I'm in traffic or cruising around I suppose, but not when I really want to drive the car.

If you are about driving it should be the reverse.

 

go for the M5...CLS is ghetto

 

CLS55 hands down... mod for mod there is no comparison because it has a supercharger...

AND the biggest issue with an M5 for me is that it looks like any of the other 1,534,923 5-Series BMW's on the road, whereas there are WAAAAAYY less CLS's on the road... When you spend big coin on a car, I assume most people wouldn't want every 10th car they see on the road looking the same as the car they just bought... That is L-A-M-E.... That's why I took it to the next level and sold my CLS55 for a Lamborghini... lol...
