Nice monster wagons, no doubt, I'll go with my beloved Bimmer ...!

I dont know, majority of all tests posted here are AMS and Autobild.
In fact there are more duels between Audi/bmw/mb from AMS and Autobild than a foreign carmag.

Hmm, talking about the RS6 makes me so sleepy. That car is waaaaaaaay too late to the party. When it arrives, Mercedes will be testing the next gen E-class AMG model, while BMW is on it's way to sell the 40,000th V10 engine.

Back to this test, I think both cars are utterly amazing. The E AMG estate is my favorite Benz, and the M5 Touring is just too awesome to describe with it's updated interior and exterior......and who the hell cars about a slightly bigger boot in the Benz??? Not me, that's for sure.
I'd take the drivers car, but would not at all be disappointed with the E63 estate (not the sedan, since that car remains a taxi)

Well, here's a nice 535d for you.
But seriously, I do get what you mean, even though for me using these cars as taxis does not pose an image problem.

I'm happy that the E63 is scoring these victories against the M5, the fast sedan game was getting rather boring with the M5 taking all the glory.

Wow, that's a taxidriver with great taste, lol.

Mike, I don't know about Finland, but in Holland at least 80% of ALL taxis are E-klasse. Nobody here buys the E for personal use, unless it's the estate version.

BAD NEWS GUYS

My scanner won't install in my computer anymore after the crash. Looks like I need a new scanner. This old piece of trash was getting on my nerves anyway.

A bit off-topic but anyway:
