AMG!!!
It seems Mercedes-Benz is trying to steal BMW customers away. I just got a mailing from them about their newest AMG models, the CL-65 and S-65. What exactly is a S-65 or CL-65? A C- or S- Class Mercedes-Benz with a Twin Turbo 6.5L V-12. Power you ask?
603 HP; 738lb/ft Torque only runs about $180k

Rep Power: 0 Yeah, I'd never trade in my M3 for an AMG, but Mercedes come in close second (My girl has a CL-55, nice car). I give props to BMW because they're Motorsports versions (M for you unknowledgable peeps) are Naturally Aspirated 
P.S. The new M5 is going to have a 500 HP V-10

I love the M3 too much to get a Mercedes over it.

.M3 is in a class of it's own but I don't mind the c32amg affordable and quite fast enuff
but if I had the $ I would hook up a m3 or new m5 as mentioned before. But BMW vs Mercedes who cares? Brabus vs Hamann, AC Schnitzer that's what I'm talking about
