My vote goes for B7.

As much as I love the Audi S8, I love the S55 that much more...That car is beautiful and powerful and just holds a little bit more road presence than the Audi. I like the BMW 7 Series but not even close to the Audi or the Merc.

Alpina B7 for me too, for the same reason.

tie between S55 and B7 but S8 not far away. Very close poll

At a glance I found this poll a tough one... but after thinking it through and looking at those pictures, I made up my mind that out of this trio the Alpina was my choice.

Not simply because it's a BMW and the other two aren't... it's because overall, the B7 would be just that little bit more special to own.
It's a rare car.. so that would be something special. It has a monsterous engine...and looks every bit as good as the other two. ...and also, recalling some interior pics of the B7, I was reminded how well Alpina do their interiors.
The Alpina B7 is the perfect example of 'A Wolf in Sheep's clothing'.

I adore the S55 (I'd even take it over the S65) and I love the noise the supercharger makes. You can never get tired of that.
I'm gonna miss it when the 63 gets turbocharged.

Just to remind you guys how how hot the S55 is- you just can't deny this beauty:

Hi all ,

This seems to be a tough choice between those 3 cars . The S55 and the B7 are scoring equally , while the S8 is not far behind .

I think that the B7 has the edge - It's just more special -
Look at this beauty -

i agree with you Yaz amg the 55 does have a better sound then the 65 one kids father in my school has a 55 and one has a 65 and no matter how much faster the 65 is the 55 has a better sound
I would choose the alpine after the s8 because of its amazing looks and great interior and none the less the engine.

these cars really are amazing

Those figures are from the W220 S-Class right?
I`m sure the W221 would do a better job.
