Anybody gone from E60 M5 to C63 AMG?

Anybody gone from E60 M5 to C63 AMG?
Thinking of a change and just wondered if anybody else had done it??? I know it’s a smaller car ect ect,I have had 4 M3s over the years one of which was a CSL, so size not really that much of a deal.
The M5 is a great all rounder and ferociously fast, but it’s just too quiet, the AMG just gave me that giggle factor which I haven’t really had since the CSL.

There was a thread on here whereby an M5 Touring owner had a C63 Wagon for the weekend and did a great write up. With the search function down (as per usual...) I'm not sure of the best way to find it

EDIT: spoke too soon. Google is still my friend. http://www.pistonheads.com/xforums/topic.asp?h=0&a...

I've just been out testing a 10 plate C63 estate. Really cannot decide if I like it more or less than the M5. I prefer the rocket ship rawness of the M5s engine but prefer the C63s more modern interior (this car was a facelift model with only 6k on the clock). In a straight line the M5 feels quicker due to the aggressive gearbox, and the salesman agreed this as we took both cars out for a blast. I think on paper though the C63 might just have the edge to 60mph but above 60mph there is no doubt the M5 has the legs. The C63 doesnt really feel as quick as it is though, the smoothness of the box takes away the kick in the back feeling. Hmmmmmm! Decisions eh!
