I'll take the new 5 series over the MB.
But, BMW needs to offer the 550xi with DCT.
Knowledgeable driving enthusiasts aren't going to accept anything less than a DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION in 2010+.

Don't make a statement like that unless you have spoken to the majority of owners. When we are talking the //M division, performance is everything, but the less performance oriented cars, the ZF automatics they have are REALLY good, smooth and are even really good in "manual" mode if its the upgraded ZF with the full torque converter lock-up and rev-matching.
Also, you can't talk about an enthusiast's wants and needs if you are talking about the xi version of the car, you have already taken a step back, many enthusiasts who want every bit of performance will opt for RWD and snow tires and would view the xi as a step back more than what type of "automatic" trans the car comes with.
