That would be the order I rank them too
The new 5 series(in various forms) have not win many comparisons compared to the previous, don't know if it has to do with the looks. Didn't seem to affect it's sales though.

I know this is the E63 amg which is not out yet(here anyway), but is the E63 that much better than the E55 ? The new M5 is definately better in performance than the previous M5.
Always a lot of subjectivity in these rankings anyway . . .

This is possibly the worst facelift by MB ever, the others they did for the previous S , current CL, & SL are mostly for the better.

I just started getting Automobile about a month ago (I figured for $10 how can you go wrong?). In reading the article, I noticed that they did not track test any one of these cars - the acceleration figures (0-60) were mfg estimates!!!! What kind of car magazine does not hook these babies up to the machines and see what they really do? I'm thinking Automobile might have been a waste of $10 (and my time).

I am glad BMW drivers support the mags as long as the result is on their side
