The actual way to put it is comparing bmw x7 alpina xb7 to gls 63 amg
BMW would still win, they’re naturally just faster. Luxury wise, Mercedes takes it, but at this point I’d stop racing it and enjoy it for what it is.
Alpina xb7 VS Maybach gls 600
@@HappyChateau-zm1vi Brabus 800😂
The fastest X7 is actually the XB7. It has 108 hp more than the X7 M60i.
And it's ALPINA so any can say fastest GLS is Manhart GLS 900 with 900HP. You see where it leads??? Here we have stock fabricated cars
@@s4petti439alpina is also stock bro… not a separate division from bmw like the manhart you are talking about. Alpina is like a mix of AMG and maybach division if you compare it to Mercedes. Understand this bro
@@erasmusboham2962he’s just a salty Mercedes fan girl 😏
@@erasmusboham2962 what about brabus gls800 that's also not a separate division
@@raman5142 who cares stop comparing 523 hp to 900hp 🥱🤣🤣
These two beasts going 4.0 and 4.2 is simple mind boggling. Admittedly, I expected the Benz to be totally smoked but it was much closer. I actually like how these two cars are positioned. They aren't exact competitors, per se as the BMW is more performance oriented as it's a sub-M model and the Benz is not an sub-AMG model so it leans towards luxury. So they give buyers the option of sport vs. luxury. Personally, I'd take the Benz..
Say whooot???? GLS is not sub-AMG model???
Very nice match-up. One thing with BMW vehicles either if it's cars or SUVs, they have top end power. In this video, no exception. The X7 just pulls away. After certain RPMs, that's when the true power comes in.
Very close....But i prefer mercedes GLS
This is a perfectly matched race. Great video.
Isn't BMW slogan. The Ultimate Driving Machine. Well then. Enough said. 😌
Their address in Toronto is called Ultimate Drive
@@SamCarLegion The perfect fit. 👌🏽
They’re fast, but not the ultimate driving machine anymore. They’re boring
@heinman6250 Do you really supposed to be excited when driving. Your job is to concentrate in what's in front, side and back of you. To avoid a accident.
Put an ECU Rentech tune on my GLS580 which they say gets it up to the AMG 63 horsepower. It definitely woke it up and allowed more boost. I bet with that tune in this race the 580 has the legs. Just saying that you can get that version with AMG power for a couple grand more and do not have to worry about the BMW anymore. Both rocket buses for families.
THANK you sam for answering my request from the previous video 🙏
Hope you enjoyed it!
Good video. 2 points I noticed.
1) These big girs are moving.
2) A good driver can make all the difference.
Next time I'll give the ole Benz a bit more brake stand aggression to close the gap a bit. You definitely launched it harder than I did. Good times as always.
Love the “Tree” vs the old school drop of the arms.
It makes it a lot easier to race and make it more official
This is actually a fair comparison. People that “understand cars” know about the Alpina XB7, which is the factory OEM counterpart to the GLS 63 AMG. But sarcasm aside, thanks for making this video!
Could you make a video of a lexus is350 vs a acura tlx a-spec
Yes
Those are some heavy beasts!
Which is more comfortable on ride(suspension) I’m thinking of buying GLS (now i own X7) Which one would you recommend?
GLS has a bit of a boat rides, but softer than the BMW
completely besides the point, but how is the interior quality of each car? Any squeaks, creaks, or rattles in either?
NOTHING SOUNDS LIKE A BMW TWIN TURBO V8!!! EXCEPT A TWIN TURBO MERCEDES V8!!!!
It's a matter of taste which model you choose, I took the X7, it is and simply looks sportier.
The performance of both is more than sufficient for daily driving
Why didnt you bring an Amg Gls vs Mx7?
lets get an Alpina (if you can find one) against the AMG, or the straight 6 cylinders will be a good watch also.
If you want afther market cars than Alpina b7 v Manhart gls 900????
Alpina is not an after market
These full-sized SUVs doing 0 to 60 in 4.0 and 4.2 is impressive to say the least, and that Mercedes is not even the most potent version of it's range 💪💪
Insanely fast for the size! Big fan of these
Imagine if there was an X7M, wow!
@@SamCarLegionnot sure if possible but in the future could we get the bmw m850i gran coupe vs the Mercedes amg gt53 4door or the cls53?
@@Bimmer_Bill There is. It's called The Alpina B7.
@@reynaldocordero4247 good call, although it’s an xb7. The trim level on an xb7 would be higher and likely not be so track oriented as a hypothetical x7m. Alpina is the more luxury oriented division of BMW.
Need that RDX vs NX next!
RDX all day
i can't believe the BMW is 75Pounds Heavier. Mercedes looks like its 500pounds Heavier but No BMW is the Chubby Boy
Well yes, technically this is the closest matchup you can arrange. But in reality it should be BMW's problem that that's their highest performance offering for the class.
It should have really been the highest performance vs highest performance on both brands offerings. That's what's most fair imo.
You gotta fix that left / right balance from the sound, it gets annoying in some point
The Bimmer probably got 550 to 570 HP at least.
The Alpina XB7 would be a good power competitor to the GLS 63
The brakes on the GLS are some of the worst that I’ve ever had on a vehicle! It is intentional because MB’s brakes are proprietary and every 10k full brake job all the way around incl. rotors!! Care to guess the cost!?
Merc did pretty well considering it’s not an AMG
One is tune for luxury one sport look at them it tells you the story
The grill on the GLS is hedious
How did you arrive at the 9.5l consumption? The WLTP consumption is 12l.
Very easy
Better terminology would be it’s not the XB7 Alpina Vs. GLS 63 AMG even though the Benz would get spanked.
so, its not the x7 competition series, but your still in the (M) RACE series, so let be honest here, either get the amg and Alpine together. or use the gls 580 vs x7 series ....
I don’t understand why you are comparing the 580 with the M 60i? Shouldn’t there be a gls 63 and an M60i?!
I think you don’t understand the trims for each model. GLS63 would go up against a n X7M
@@SamCarLegion I know everything about the trim levels, but the M60i should be compared with the gls 63 amg
@@Murad-et5oi then you don’t know anything with that kind of comment. If that’s the case would you race the X6 M60i against the GLE63 AMG? Or the X6M Competition?
What you are saying is that the M340i should race the C63AMG
The X7M60i used an S68 engine - the real M cars use the S63 which is better built and more BHP etc. The GLS63 AMG uses a hand built AMG engine which makes sense to race an X7M which unfortunately doesn’t exist. The closest would be the Alpina X7.
Yay 4 Sam !!!!!
But where is mercedes amg gls
Did bro forget about the ALPINA XB7?? 🤔
No I didn’t- but thats not an M car. If that’s the case, you would do X7 Alpina vs GLS580 Brabus :)
It's just the gearing yall got to relax 😂
Great comparison and content
3 ton vehicles going 0-60 in 4secs is crae
What’s funny is the new ev scatpak weighs the same 😁
Sam obviously the better driver! Other guy can’t even stay on level before punching it on the roll races.
Spoiler blocker
Why m power and rs. Faster then amg
I'll beat everyone in my 2002 Z28 ....
BMW wins because they are cheating if it comes to the HP and Torque numbers 😂, Mercedes Cars has only a little bit more HP and Torque do what they claimed.
Bmw are more conservative when it comes output quotes Merc are bit closer to the actual....in the race the transmission plays also an important role
BMW ismore than a few HP off. There's a reason they've been doing that
@@jamesivan1983 you can be sure that this V8 TT engine put out over 550 HP on the dyno and the Mercedes max. maybe 520 HP.
I’d you’re using the x7m60i at lease bring the gls63
Not fair comparison
GLS63 competitor is Alpina xB7
Agree with the video here..these are not top tier offerings (AMG / M Competition)... great comparison.
There's no X7M Competition. You have to get. The Alpina B7.
@@reynaldocordero4247 correct.. Sam covered that in the video.
👍
GLS63 0 - 100 mph 8.9 s
BMW x7 M60u 0 - 100 mph 9.8 s
so long bmw fanboy. How cares that BMW doesn't make X7M? Only BMW fanboys.
Thats not a fair a comparison the GLS63 AMG is 30-40k more than the X7M60i. With a tune the X7M60i would smoke it
What does matter is reliability, your so called “w223” s class has been a garbage built S class, as my mechanics hated this like shit because it needs to repaired every single day, the 7 series meanwhile beats the S class out of the park with its luxury, I would not be swapping my w221 and w222 for the shitty ass w223
BMW always beats Mercedes
Unless we’re talking about purpose built two seat sports cars where bmw doesn’t because they don’t make one anymore. 😢
It wasn’t until like 8 years ago that BMW started winning drag races against Mercedes.
It was like this:
AMG - king of the roll races
RS - king of dig races
M - king of the track
Agreed but on some roll races Merc wins and unfortunately the future is bleak i think they took a wrong turn...C63s now a 4 pot, E63s now 3l, wheres competition still stick to their DNA..
Bmw will have dual production of M cars both EV and ICE
BMW - fun cars
Mercedes - flashy cars
Porsche - sport cars
Audi - ….
@@rtcturnemup7028BMW are sports cars that beats Porsche in GT3 races easly with S58 engine and 570 hp M3 E92 beats GT2 rs on circuit race
BMW X7 better than gls
So maybe say: BMW blah blah!! But is a GLS 580!!!!! Vs a M X7!!!! Why not a AMG? Pathetic race in my opinion!!! Even the BMW beats the Benz but at Least make it even!!
Everything is explained in the intro
After the race, oil leakage starts on that X7 😂 Super unreliable BMW lol
Yeah my mechanic has a lot of w223 S class in his workshop, as they are garbage with reliability, I’m not going to swap my w221 and w222 for the crappy ass w223
The power of BMW. That's the obvious choice better priced then the overpriced Merc.
Being faster does not make it a better car
Don't agree with video or race. Should have race with a AMG for better comparison. The M Competition is above the M. So a AMG could not even compete with that. This is a real M to be clear not some badging on a regular X7. Regular X7 have a V6 not V8.
This is not a real M - do you understand cars?
@@SamCarLegion what type of engine does a real M have and no I'm not talking about the M competition.
The X7 M60i doesn’t have the real M Engine. Otherwise it would have been called X7M - like the M340i that has M badges everywhere but similar engine to the M3.
Just like my M550ix is not an M5, get it???
@@SamCarLegionso you're saying the only true M is the M competition. Because those are the only Vehicle right now with just an M without numbers.
Beemer is always z Winner.
Although BMW X7 is
Heavier in weight
Less displacement 4.4 not 6.3
Not M Power
Bigger in Size
But Beemer is sporty soul
Nothing you just said was true. GLS is bigger, heavier, not an AMG, and it has a 4.0. The X7 has the S68 motor, which is an M engine
Мереседес не конкурент в скорости бмв
The grill on the GLS is hedious
And the X7 isn’t?
