Lots of MB fans and the BMW fans are no fans of the trucks.

I don't vote in this type of polls because I would rather all three were banned from the roads.

Maybe more BMW fans one day but today it seems there are more MB fans. A more reasonable reason is that MB actually builds more popular (and more appealing to the traditional truck buyer) trucks than BMW.

Looks wise, the difference between Mercedes AMG and BMW ///M is huge. Both are very gorgeous. The ML63 definitely takes on the more luxo approach while the BMW does not. Not an ounce of chrome on the X5, except the grille treatment. I just love that!

I'll take the X5 M

The X5 remains to be the best looking 'regular' SUV on the market. There simply is no match to it's looks, inside out. Plus X5 finally has the fastest and most powerful engine. GTS in particular is severely underpowered. Turbo S would have been better, but that car doesn't perform that good on the track. X5 M is like a fusion of Turbo S and GTS.
ML looks good, but the interior is poor and it's quite old now. Plus it doesn't handle well.

Tarek, what do you not like about the rims of X5? I think they are pretty decent.

That's my problem with the rims,X5 M or X6 doesn;t need decent rims,they need outrageous ones,just like the ones on X6 50i

My second problem is the exhaust which is really weak looking for that kinda car and power,those exhausts would look nice on M1 or M3 bu X5/6 M? no thanx,even X6's 50i exhausts looks much aggressive than those ones.

Other than that i like both cars

The M63AMG of course. I do agree with Sunny that the pre-facelift one looked much better then the current model.

The X5 has a nice engine, but that is it. I think the regular X5 looks better.

The Porsche is amazing, but I never liked the design.

Tough choice since the X6 M isn't here......I would go for either a special edition of the ML63 or the Cayenne GTS. Most likely the Porsche.

The ML63 doesn't handle well? BS.


M
