Your question is not one easily to be answered - because it depends on what you want the car for.
In a 1979 911 SC - we took 4 from NYC to Florida -- and believe it or not - we were very comfortable.
I loved my Mercedes - but as it became 12 years old -- it started costing me a small fortune each month.
I now enjoy the drive of the BMW - it's a 4 door and handles well, let me put it like this - I brought it in for service recently - and it took 3 days to get it back. I called for it and found out they refilled the gas tank for me - thanked and told me they've never had a 330 there that was that smooth. They loved the setup it was given.
What kind of driver are you? Do you like sports cars? I found I didn't care for the 911 and really enjoyed driving a Boxster. (I felt I was one with it - and loved the visibility I had...)
Each of the three I mention have their pros and negatives. I'm witih BMW because they will take care of all the service (oil changes, rotors, etc.) until January 2009.
My suggestion - take each one out for a real test drive. See if your dealers will let you try it for a weekend. Then decide which fits your driving.
Me - I loved the Boxster - but I had to be practical - and go for the 4-door grocery getter.
But all of these handle much better than a, ahem, Jaguar LOL

Simply chipping the car will normally remove the limiter. If you really are buying and E63 then simply ask AMG to do it for you before you get the car. They will do, or at least raise it to around the 180mph mark. By law manufacturers like AMG have to keep it within the safety range of the tyres on the car, but aftermarket tuners are not restricted by these conditions. There is nothing to stop anyone with a high performance car taking it to Germany and hitting 200mph on the Autobahn, or heading off down their local runway to see if they can top it out. So to all you who say, you shouldn't...Bah Humbug! We'd all be sitting round the camp fire in our cave if people didn't push the limits a little further.

Get one more than 20 years old and any of them. Quality is excellent until you consider they are so far over engineered as to make them worthless. No one can afford upkeep and when broken, they wil be much too expensive to restore. If you want german - get an old one. They are engineered to go too fast and then you are too nervous to really be comfortable. Their performance is so far off the chart as to be too scary to be enjoyed. Just too much in every area especially purchase price and maintenance. Over engineered to the point of being the laugning stock of the world.
