I don't understand how Mercedes-Benz can offer a manual option for this in the UK and BMW don't offer a manual option on the M5? I'm not saying they are competitors or cross shopped or anything, but obviously nobody would buy this as a manual and yet many I suspect would on the M5.

While I love the SLS front nose on the SLS, I think it looks ugly and pugnacious on the CLS,E Class etc...what is it with the german makers and the hideous Audi grille, the monstrous nose on the BMW 7 ?

My wife has the current version with some Brabus tweaks.

I know what people mean about the build quality. Its not bad, its just not up there with either Audi or Bmw imo.

Its been back to the dealers twice now with window/hood rattles and the dealer appears to be very familiar with the problem so Im guessing its a common issue.

I like the new nose and rear treatment but does take away from the original car's distinctivness a little.

Merc are definately missing a trick by omitting an e63 coupe/cab tho, c63 coupe is ok but feels and looks in a class below plus no cabrio option

Shame the per facelift was the best looking big saloon coupe and estate on the market in this sector IMO.

E63 amg estate with L shape LEDs. Perfect family motor.
