The reviews all make the E55 AMG fastest but has anyone lived with one to give me an objective view
The M5 does get great reviews and I must say its look appeals in an understated way
But the RS6 is a beast!
Any thoughts on an E55 AMG welcomed

Trying to find someone who has lived with an E55 AMG - being "fastest" is not my reason for buying a new toy
Three choices me thinks - RS6/E39M5/E55AMG
Have had feedback on the M5
E55 AMG anyone?

I've driven one, it didn't feel noticeably quicker than my standard car.
One thing I noticed though: the RS6 felt really solid in comparison on the drive home.

The E55 is quicker in a straight line. My brother in law had one (which was stock) and was out against my old RS6 saloon (again stock) on a 'private road'. He was always a car length in front - but big deal. He couldn't drive the E55 in the rain as he'd clearly die a terrible death. And long story short he's now looking for an Rs6.
What's a car length between friends?!
PS - the V8's didn't half make some noise on the private road. And I'm all for the joys of 4 wheel drive....makes me look a better driver!
