E55's are going for pennies right now. $25-$35K. Hit ebay you will find all kinds of great deals.

For me it comes down to the M5 Vs. the E55.The M5 is great but not as much power as the Merc. Also the Merc is easier get more power out of but the transmission is something that makes me go ehhhhhhhhhhhh. What it really comes down to between these two is transmission/styling/power expectations.If I was you i'd be very torn between these two but would probably ultimately go with the mer. Just better bang for the buck IMHO.
