This is a tough choice. Both look great. The M5 seems a little bigger, which could be a pro or con depending on you.
I think the choices would be split down the line throughout TS, maybe a slight edge for the M5. Test drive them both, see what you think.
but if you already have 3 sedans, I would look towards sports cars or coupes to round out the garage and give you something different.
Cheers!

MCT is just a fancy word for PRND321.
SLS has a proper DCT transmission.
Which is why it boggles the mind that AMG refuses to use that same and much better tranny than the autotragic on ALL their cars instead of just the SLS.

That is not an easy choice at all. The M5 is not even on the streets yet so how can you decide for sure till you actually drive it. I am assuming you did not drive the new M5 since its not available yet.
The Cls is a monster and can not be written off very easily.
But if I was deciding, I would have to consider a slightly used PTT which would be at the same price point. The PTT is much faster and handles much better.
Looks like you have 2 badass luxury sport sedans already, flying spur and quattroporte.
So is this new car going to be in addition to those. If so, it seems redundant. Why not go for something totally different???

And ya, i am actually thinking of a proper supercar but i just cant decide which one lol. i am still waiting for my heart to tell me which one to get. so by the time being, i'll just get a moderate size super sedan haha. The bentley is more like a relax car. It feels awkward when you floor it. it just feels so heavy and not responsive enough for me.

Stuka...LOL c'mon ya goofball!
MCT transmission yes, does have the PRDN; but it replaces the torque converter with a 'wet clutch' pack similar to a DCT transmission. It is disimilar however b/c it's gearing IS the typical slushbox.
Drive a MCT and I guarantee you you won't complain. they've done a great job with it.
One of my complaints with DCT is that when they are cold, they HATE life. It takes them a good solid 10 minutes to start feeling normal.
But its a minimal complaint.
