BOUGHT A DAILY NOW NEED A NEW DAILY

[illestFX35]

Guys I bought my 2010 FX35 brand new and I've racked up 115k miles and its time to retire her from being my amazing daily driver. Now it's time to keep the fresh exterior clean for show. So time to pick up a new daily. Currently looking at two cars, W211 E63 AMG and E60 M5 V10 6mt. Both go for about 20k and have an exhaust note from heaven. Benz has the infamous M156 6.2 V8 with a 7speed auto. M5 has the S85 V10 with a 6mt NOT THE SMG (hate that transmission). Personally like the ride of the E63 as a daily, but loved how the M5 took corners. Power wise both strong N/A motors more than enough for a daily. Looking for the more reliable car. Drove both when they were brand new and loved them ever since. Please vote!!! Open to other options let me know!

Let's be honest, German high performance cars are the anti-reliable. Best place to get more reliable information about them would be their respective forums. On a personal note, the exhaust sound on that 6.2 is grin inducing!

I love both cars, and I think the e60 manual is rare and would be more cool to drive, but reliability wise, I think the e63 would be more reliable.

My brother owns an M5 with the V10 and reliability is TERRIBLE... Although if I had a backup car, I'd take it EASILY... :P

I just voted other and my thoughts are Infiniti M56/Q70 (5.6), or Cadillac CTS-V (also unreliable but much cheaper to repair).
