First off, everybody should know that the B5 is not V10 powered, but uses the 4.4 liter V8. Secondly, power is available in both the M5 and B5 at any touch of the throttle.

If you've done your research, you'll know that they are both very different cars from one another, and deliver their power very differently. The B5 is a monster for sure, although softer in some respects, so the M5 retains the all out racer charicter. Therefore, it's all a matter of taste.

An E55 AMG is also very much the gas guzzler by the way Thunf.
