Soo, the E55 has already fallen. Sounds like he beat the **** (?!) out of the E55. 15 car lengths att 155mph tells the tale of the M5 being superior above 200 km/h. And from 200 km/h and upp was the area of perfomance that was the xx55AMG models strong side.

Well, are we in love yet ?

E55AMG. Next up xx65AMG vs E60 M5, wonder what that will look like...

Nice test, however the brakes worry me a little........I thought the brakes were super. Twin and single pistons is indeed too little for such a car.

Ugh! beat me to it - nice article (thanks for scanning).

pulling away from the e55... wow! Funny the way they told that story.. makes you wish they had a way to see the e55 driver's face as the M starting pulling into the distance!

****!!! I WANT THIS CAR!!!

well written ,, and i really like the E55 part.. so shall we jugde on it from now or give the E55 another chance to prove it self? about the sound of it " a little quiter than a Gallardo, less raspy and yelpy than a Carrera GT" sound very appealing to me

i really would like to see the pics of this article

AJ · 14th September 2004, 15:14

so, as suspected- no torque, but faster than the e55 at speeds...

but we will see i guess... cant wait to drive and decide for myself.

thank you for scanning and posting the article

nimbus- it will not look good for the m5.

Here are the pics.

Not sure how to get them into the message, but the attatchments should be there.

V Nice sideways action shots !!

Already looking forward to next weeks copy with the E55 and Maserati Q comparison.
