KK is obviously a BMW fanboy. I'm a car enthusiast and appreciate all cars. The CLS is very capable car that would probably beat an M3 on a track. The thing corners very well at speeds and is super planted. It also isn't as nuts as the C63 which will make it get better lap times and in the straight will out-run most any car that isn't classified as exotic. I find the interior of the CLS63 to be worthy of $105k whereas I don't find the M3's finish worthy of $75k. I understand the M3's heritage and its awesome capabilities but I can't not think about the CLS63 as an alternative, especially since I have an X5M which is well worthy of the ///M brand. I have driven both cars pretty extensively now and yesterday pulled the trigger on the CLS63. (I fell even more in love after gunning the car going into the freeway and listening to its beautiful roar.)

And don't underestimate what a truck can do until you have ridden arround a track in a Porsche Cayenne Turbo with a professional driver at the wheel. CA

Not really the model that flys the M flag. And let's be honest, I wouldn't underestimate any car/truck with a professional driver at the wheel. I had a Cayenne TT, very fast, but its a truck. Faster and handled better than most cars? Sure but when you think Porsche driving experience do you think Cayenne? I don't.

If I had the money to spare and can only have one car between the 2. I would pick the CLS AMG hands down any day of the year.

Thanks! That's great to hear, I just got the paperwork and sent it back to them with overnight shipping. I would be getting this car Friday but I'm leaving that day for Chicago so I might be looking at monday when I get back or possibly Tuesday. I'm so excited for it though, gonna wait a couple hundred miles before putting it in Sport Plus mode though.

I highly doubt any of the cars are his. He probably just takes them for joy rides. The CLS is probably his fathers. Nothing wrong with driving daddy's car but, the least you could do was be truthful about it. Now a days, parents are buying BMW's for their children because well, the 3 series is so cheap to lease.

Seriously. At least cover up your tracks if your are gonna try to make us believe what you want us to believe. Well now that this is said and done, tell us the car that you really own without passing off your parents' cars are yours.
