M550 is killing E43, no matter on paper or on the track.
Except that the E43 costs WAAAAAAY more than the 540. It costs as much or more as the M550. Frankly the E43 just doesn't match up well with anything in the segment. It's too expensive versus the cars that it performs similarly to, and it gets beaten like a rented mule by the cars it's priced similarly to.
No way, E43 AMG is average about $73K in the market. If you take 540i and selected the most options and M pkg for it, it is about $70K
