Lexus is going a totally different direction than Merc. Benz is just better known for these types of ridiculously high powered sedans with terrible gas mileage and they have a wide audience for it. Hats off to Benz for thier creative engineering and a beautiful looking Sedan with afterburners to boot.

Ok fine, I would swap the exhaust tip too
With the stock quiet exhaust though, even serious car enthusiast would have a really hard time telling the sounds between that V8 and V12. I can tell only after paying very close attention of every E63, S63, S65 and S600 that pass by me on the street, but still is pretty hard with a quiet exhaust. So if the hood is close with no badge, is very hard to tell what it is.

A guy here at my work got one, it is a little too wild for me. I like the M-Sport with the OEM 21s better.

yup, sorry, alpina still looks like aftermarket to me, as much as they are so "close" to bmw. i didn't say 760 isn't nice, but want to pair it with the s65? still a bit gap

Yes not quite 65 level, but if I have to pick between 760 M vs. S63, I might pick the 760 just for the V12. 760 M looks REALLY hot on those OEM 21s

I really want to drive one of these and compare it to my 600. My car is still ridiculously fast to me but the numbers of this 63 don't lie!!! Also, one of reasons that I bought my car was the fact that it is easily tunable because of the forced induction over the previous 63.

The 63 is more sporty in every ways since everything is sport tune.
The decision is, you want silky V12 or a sporty V8?

Never been in a 760, but all the review is saying BMW really soften that car up, they say it float like a Buick on soft mode and is not all that sporty in sport mode.
I am just obsessed with high cylinder count, now that I got 2 V8s, I really crave V10, V12.......
