E55 vs E63: differences?

What are the Pros and Cons between both cars? I have a friend giving me a really good deal on E63. The E55 pulls hard already. How much more powerful will the E63 be? Noticable difference in drive, power, drivablity, etc?

What's the best 1/4 mile you've put down with the E55? My neighbor claims a 12 seconds stock, sub 12 with drag radials.

PRO: E55

CON: E63

actually the E63 has a cooler front bumer and updated interior. but your E55 is leaps and bounds more fun to drive. Trust.

E55 gives you jaw dropping, push-you-back-in-your-seat acceleration. The 63 cars have a bit more top end at the expense of the much more fun and useful low end.

Surprised you're asking this question if you already own an E55....listen to what others have said thus far.

In fact, I'm tempted to buy your car with low miles.

i do truly think the front of E63 is awesome, but that's the only improvement and when it chooses style over power, i'd stick with your E55

Here are a couple videos of stock E55's vs. E63's
