The BMW will give you the best drive out of the big 3, I'd go with the Alpina B7 then the S63 and the Audi next.

Alpina B7

i do have to say, after driving the F10 535i and the F01 760 and 750, the BMW ride is beyond comparable but I haven't logged any time into an A8 or S63 yet

I've got a soft spot for wagons. BMW Audi even mb so an e55 wagon I might look twice at but wouldn't let my 70 year old mom drive one.
+1 on all Avenues The G Wagon is a joke it is an overpriced box on wheels. For 500k for a DTM, ha 599GTO all day long.

There is not a Benz I would own currently after 3 AMG cars I have had (SL63, Cl63, E63), Audi has there shi* together big time.

I dont want to get into a this car is better than that car quagmire but imho CLK Black series are absolutely wonderful , hooligan machines , i have done 35000 miles in 2 now . In their own way as much fun as my Carrera GT .

As for the DTM , exclusivity costs . Personally I buy my cars for the thrill and enjoyment . I couldnt care less about the looks and what 99.999999999999999 per cent of the village think

A 599 GTO is 6 times more common than a DTM ( 599 to 100 ) . A DTM is about exclusivity as well as performance and in that respect is rarer than an enzo , Carrera GT , Veyron et al .
A GTO is a 599 in drag by comparison and barely any different , I know this as an ex 599 owner that tried the GTO for size ( regardless of what the magazines tell us ) .

Out of interest do you not find Audi's boring ? I have watched paint drying that was more fun than Audi's I have tried .

This illustrates how different our opinions can be and we are still enthusiasts , amazing .
