That's a great quote and i completely agree!

yes and the BMW and the MB are running on bicycle tires.. and there is no control..
They have plenty of control.. these are not super cars.. they are luxury limos.. so track times does not interest me..

PS
If it did the S600 is still faster around the track than its competitors..

Stop writing like S600 beat the others on ALL tracks... And who cares, these cars are about luxury and comfort. If I want good handling car buy a M , RS or M.

exactly.. well i can only say from the track test we have seen.. and there has been one and it won..
But the again like you i dont care at all.. these cars are not made for the track..

I'd choose the S8. It's the best overall package with (IMO) the best looks, best interior and the real-life performance that is at least equal to the other two (in fact, with the weather conditions here right now, it'd destroy the other two

).

Hi all,
I was wondering - If BMW put the M5's V10 into the 7 , and gave the car the sporty character of the M5 - which would you take then ????

I don't think BMW would make an M7 , but lets assume that for the sake of this thread .

I would still take the M5.It's smaller than 7 series and more agile. The bigger the car, the heavier it gets so the handling is worse than smaller and less powerful cars.
