It seems to me that you love it but not that much - to sell it at 6K miles only!
Decided to put deposit for RS6? or M5? or smth else?

Alpina B7 would get my vote but not to say there's anything wrong with e63 AMG. A test drive should clear things up

Agree - both are very good. But Alpina B5s is better in my opinion.
Though among B7 and S63 I would choose S63AMG - it's more stylish.

If you REALLY have to sell S8, then my vote goes to MB S 63 AMG, B7 is to outdated IMHO, don't forget that BMW is presenting all new 7 series in second half of 2008.

Still, I think that S8 is better than both of these cars... :D

Then go for S63 - it's much newer than 7-series.
I am sure that in 2009 we will see new B7 based on new 7-series platform as it was mentioned above

I would go for the B7 - a friend of mine has a B5 and its a MONSTER!

decided I did not want to part with the s8. Realized I prefer it over the b7 and s63, the reason I did not buy either of those cars in the first place. Bought the new limited Maserati QP GTS to have a second more sporty sedan than the s8. Liked the car quite on a bit on the test drive. Will have it this week.

So you are keeping the S8 and buy a QP too?! Two of my favorite cars btw! Is it the Automatica verson with the Sport package?

As long as your are willing to take the huge financial hit with such a transaction, then maybe the S63 or the QP would be good choices.

yes have both now. the GTS is a new model. the difference between gts and gt is almost like and rs6 to an s6. only about 200 will be in the US in 2008

That's like it is limited edition car, 200 is VERY small number for US market. There will be more than one head turning after you when you pass buy... :D

Congratulations on your new car, and, if I may say, wise desicion keeping the S8 over MB and Alpina...

why change an S8 for an S63? the S8 handles better. the S63 is only good for drag racing.

Which ultimately he decided against.. I believe (well, at least I was) most were talking about the Aplina B7 or S63.
