Ohh yeah i forgot to add something:

Dont get me wrong I like Mercs, and the way they drive. You say 95% less roll, well its all relevant to what that percentage is compared to ! 95 % stiffer than a sloppy ride will be a decent ride not a Lemans racer !

I drove the Airmatic DC E55 Kompressor. Its nicer than the old MBZ's but not as good as the E39 M5 to drive ! But i would still take the Airmatic because its also AMAZINGLY supple over all road surfaces where the M5 is not, and thats where most of the driving is going to happen!

I would also take any AMG55 over any AMG65 for better value and performance per $ (and the V-8 sound)

In terms of bang for buck, you cant beat good old American Large Displacement V8's !
