    .............................................................
    How's this for an almighty German performance saloon group test?
    Mat's here to compare the Mercedes-AMG E63 S and the BMW M5 Competition to find out which is the must-have German performance saloon of 2021! From comparing their price and design through to their 0-60mph & brakes, this is the must-see group test for these two cars!
    But how do they compare on paper? Well starting with the AMG E63, it's powered by a 4-litre twin-turbo V8, which has the ability to put down 612hp & 850Nm of torque. It also comes equipped with a 9-speed automatic gearbox, along with launch control, and it rolls up with a starting price of £99,000.
    Then we come to the BMW M5 Competition. Hiding under the bonnet is a bigger engine than the AMG, a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8. As a result, it can produce more power, at 625hp. However, it's slightly down on torque (at 750Nm) and it only has an 8-speed torque converter gearbox. It'll also set you back a tiny bit more, with a starting price of £102,000.
    So how do you think it'll play out - will Mat prefer the more powerful BMW? You'll have to keep watching to find out!

    • @Daveyboy_GolfR
      @Daveyboy_GolfR Před 2 lety +11

      Agreed across the board. I also think the glass carbon all over e63 interior looks kind of cheap to me even if it isn't. When he switched to the M5 interior, it seemed much sturdier and higher quality materials. And I have to disagree with Matt on the rear end. I absolutely adore the M5 rear where everything hatched up beautifully, especially the blackened edges around the tail lights, whereas the AMG tail lights seemed way too bright cherry red almost like on an accord. That's my opinion at least

    • @Daveyboy_GolfR
      @Daveyboy_GolfR Před 2 lety +9

      I also find it strange that during the sound check, Matt had to even think twice about which vehicle sounded better. And his main reason was because the AMG sounded like a vacuum cleaner but did have a few pops and bangs on the Dcel. Who cares about pops and bangs... Neon SRT4 has pops and bangs 😆

    You can get more feel in the steering if you fiddle with the settings. But I do get what you mean about the steering in comfort setting.
    The cars are so well matched that it comes down to whether you’re a BMW fan or a Merc fan.
    In a different colour (Marina Bay Blue for example) the M5 makes the Merc look very average

    I love the styling of the M5, itlooks so much better, the headlights look smart and sharp the grille is well formed and has a good size and it has real exhaust, which is just lovely. I love the side profile of the E63 though but overall I prefer the pre-face-lift version, which looked more serious and elegant because it had the classic AMG grille and was a bit of a sleeper. If I had to chose between Mercedes and BMW I would take the BMW, but not the M5, instead I'd rather take the Alpina B5 Touring, which is more practical, comfortable and still fast enough for the Autobahn here in germany ^^

    The video didn’t change my mind. I still would have the M5 every single day of the week, In fact I would have the BMW 5 series in any other configuration from 520d to 550i vs any E class. It just looks better IMO 🤷🏻‍♂️

    E63 for me. Over last 15 years I owned several BMWs and my current car is 2020 BMW 540i. It only has half of M5 power and for sure does not handle as well as M5 but it is still too similar to M5 to really feel that I am getting something special and different if I go M5 (next year and wife permitting)

    Mat always does the right verdict when it comes to head to head, but this time though, I think he's wrong because that BMW is bonquers and it doesn't have a soft limiter a 5000rpm, it's just a cold start that restricts it. I would personally prefer the BMW.

      But as he said while driving
      Mercedes feels better while driving
      Better sound
      And much better to travel in
      A bit more special inside
      So yeah I think Mercedes is a better choice logically! :)

    0-60 in 2.9 seconds, and a 10.9 quarter mile! Many supercars, even modern ones, cannot do those kind of figures. This is a 1970kg 4 door sedan with a big boot and space for 5 adults. That is just outrageous. 13:45
