I agree, havent driven the S63, but we have an S65 in our family. Very luxurious inside and a beauty outside, but its a pig in terms of handling. Fast in a straight line, but when turns are involved its a different story. But the S-class is a very beautiful car.

The M5 actually has a slight advantage.
