AMG. Mercedes a toujours un meilleur positionnement dans ma tête que BMW (et ce, depuis les années 80).

J'ai eu une M et pas de AMG mais je vote AMG quand même.
On dirait que après la M tu "montes" en grade avec une Porsche (ou Ferrari encore plus haut). Donc des voitures plus "connectées".
Mais en terme de brutalité et de son, après AMG y'a vraiment pas grand chose de plus, t'es comme déjà au top dans la catégorie badass.

That depends. Having owned both it all comes down to your needs and wants.
AMG:
Best daily driver there is.
The E55 I have now is extremely comfortable, torque is retarded (560wtq...) and gas mileage on highway trips is pretty decent. And it just looks so damn good.
M:
A more balanced, all-around Sports car.
The E60 just felt special. It was so easy to get sideways and control. Gas mileage was horrible. Beast on the top end. Sound was out of this world. It just didn't make the best daily (No low end torque, burnt oil and gas like crazy, SMG was meh...)
Mind you I'm comparing just 1 model from each line-up. But I'll say it again.... AMG = Best daily. M = Best all-around sports car. Audi RS = Mixture of both + Quattro for Canadia...
Which would I choose? That depends on the model...

Here is why it's unlikely I'll ever own a Mercedes. The dinky gear shifter is such a piss off I'd never get over it. This is from a GLE350d coupe I tested last week. Similarly the C63 AMG S I drove came equipped with one and is just as frustrating not just for operating the vehicle but there is nowhere to rest your hands while driving either. Is it silly to discount all the engineering, blood, sweat, tears, money and everything else that went into making these glorious machines because of a shifter? YES lol. Details matter.

On the interior design - I feel like MB has done a really poor job at integrating the lcd screen. looks like they forgot about it during the design phase and then stuck a screen on there. oops - we forgot!
