A Nice Problem To Have

E63 is the best option. The CLS hasn't been the most reliable from what I've heard, but that's just 2nd/3rd hand info.
Have you tried a new-gen CTS-V?

That being said, it does not have the angry exhaust note that I'm in love with and the car will essentially be five years old.
Change the exhaust after purchase.

No 911's or Caymans- I need 4 doors.
The M3 was very nice but IMO it only looks good as a coupe. Also, it really didn't feel on par with the power of the others cars in the running.
The S4 seemed like a clear-cut winner because of the AWD. After driving one, I loved the feel of the car but it felt sluggish. The car I have now feels quicker.
No more CTS-V's for me. I still have the awful taste of the previous generation one I owned. I will never buy another for as long as I live.
I'm going to see if I can drive all three of these back-to-back again.

5 years is not old at all (I have a 16 year old Mazda that I still enjoy immensley (sp?)).
I would go for the C63. It has all the performance you are looking for, is a lot newer and would hopefully have very low miles. Shop around, you can do a lot better than $70,000 for a C63. I am seeing dozens of Mercedes dealers selling cars at a profit loss in order to move some metal. Dealerships make all their profits on service and F&I anyway
. There are ample deals to be had.
