Michael, by that, do you mean luxury/luxury OR performance/luxury?

The new 7 Series is nice, but kind of make the drive feel like a dumb@$$ with all the electronics. The A8 is a very solid and all-arounder, but kind of lack of...style and character...kind of boring. I like the design of the S Class very classy and elegant, not sure about its performance specs.

My personal favorite...would be the Mercedes within this group...

I mean luxury and some sort of speed (i.e. S 600, A8 W12, etc.) The problem with the 7 is that is soooooo UGLY from the back. Also they have a lot of problems with the electronics here in Germany at the moment. My favourite is the A8 W12, BUT it's quite an old design and the new model is coming out next year. The reason I'm asking is because someone I know is getting a car of that level as a company car and he doesn't really know which one to take.... I think there only are the S-class, A8 and 7 series to choose, from a great choice, really...

The AMG 55 is a beast of a car I would love to see if BMW develops a M7 to compete with it.

But hands down the M5 is the best out there!!!!!!

MotorTrend did a test comparison between the M5 and AMG 55.

They like every aspect of performance between on the M5.
(Not by much)

But love the AMG 55 in luxo interior better.

What thehell are you talking about? Or what are you smoking? The M5 competes with the AMG and magazines even go around taking the comparisons and treating both cars as equals.
