CTS-v weighs 4222 according to Edmunds and Mercedes E63 4058. any info on this?
BMW has sunk down the toilet. First no naturally aspirated M engine, a muted exhaust for the M5, heavier than the cayenne turbo and looks like something out of the 1990s. The F10 5er is a bad bad design. What I don't understand is that its smaller than the E class and still heavier? Are they using deadweight in their cars? The funnier thing is that the p'mera which competes with the higher (and bigger) segment of cars is so much lighter than the 5er.

I used to like and respect BMW. What happened to you guys?
