I bet that guy's neighbor's love him. I'm sure they are checking their HOA agreements line by line to find a way to get rid of him or that car. I've never heard an uncorked V12 Benz before, but that wasn't the sound I was expecting. Sounded more agricultural then I expected.

The M-6 is rated at 11mph city and 17HWY while the C63 is 12 city 19HWY.

You are bringing the 4.4 liter twin turbo but the OP never mentioned the newer 4.4 power M car, he is looking for the 5 liter V10. Lets be fair here.

Ah yes just figured I would give him the consideration though I honestly hardly care less about EPA but...the Benz's are pretty bad. You get what you pay for...anyone I believe who can afford one though doesn't pay much attention to that. Hell I rarely ever check my Evo...I recognize it sucks and not gonna grandma it around to say it got 25mpg. That new E series going down the road though is hawt! I seen one and cruised next to it and the body lines are just amazing!

I know he did mention the 5 liter but I know the new 4.4 is picking up wind quickly. I personally would take a hard look at that new M sport 5 series. From what I seen it looks pretty rad and has some umph to boot.

If it was me though I'd be rocking the a E90 M3. Not super rare or elite but nice enough with a few bolt ons its darn near a 11sec car with DCT and it pretty roomy, quiet, and safe and handles better than all the others mentioned in stock form. Sorry if my bias is coming out...been wanting one for too long now

It is not listed but I know what you have. You probably have any of the 5.5 Supercharger series no? like the E-55 and so on right?

Yeah, but the dedan M-3 is far more suitable for passengers than the Coupe. The coupe is a 4 seater while the sedan is a 5 setaer.

Get the E-55 amg. They acn be had for mid $20000 and they will run mid 11s to low 11' s with pulley, DR, tune and headers.
Low 12's with a tune and DR. It is a great car, very fast, just look it up on youtube, many E-55 owners running 10s on basic bolt ons.

You are more likely to find a clean, unmolested, stock E55 then you are a tuner car like an Evo.
