BMW M5 2018 review | New Mercedes-AMG E63 rival tested | Autocar

  • This is the new BMW M5, BMW's executive supersaloon, which has 592bhp (600hp) and, just as importantly, 4wd to put all of that power to the road, and with which to challenge the Mercedes-AMG E63. Subscribe now: smarturl.it/aut...
    The M5 looks pretty subtle on the outside, and on the inside, too, but what is this 4.4-litre, V8 powered sedan, which has all of the accelerative and top speed performance of a supercar, like to drive on both road and track? Join Autocar as we find out.

    These cars are all so similar now (Audi RS6/7, M5, E63). I think the choice comes down to which logo do you want on the key in your pocket.

    "It's QUITE pleasant actually, it feels QUITE dynamic... because the steering is QUITE quick not much more than two turns, two and a bit turns, thats QUITE a fast direction."
    Excellent Journalism.

    @error404blah Před 6 lety +7

    I'm surprised that I seem to be leaning towards the M5. I think it's because from what I've heard the E63 never really settles down (reviews always mention the firm ride, masses of road noise and general never tiring aggressive attitude). The apparent clear duality of the new M5 between crazy drift machine and quiet, comfortable executive cruiser seems to win it for me. Fanboys attack!

  • @Kaipeternicolas
    @Kaipeternicolas Před 6 lety +2

    Why the British reviewers always pretend this car is so complicated to set it up? You basically set it up ONCE when you get the car and then you're good to go. And all you will need are the two M buttons which is absolutely genius.

    Trying to decide between this and an E63s and it's not easy. I love my current M3 but after driving the E63 I am tempted to switch. The noise was incredible. Really nice interior too. Can't wait to drive an M5 to help make up my mind.

      The Truth seeing your profile pic you are clearly a merc fanboy. But 16 thousand views on this video and they had a question of which would you have and I bet at least half if not more answered it and bmw won the pole 70% to merc 30% of which car would you have. So you clearly are blinded of what you think of this car. ....

    @stefanfreestylez Před 6 lety +67

    1.m5 has always had subtle styling exterior wise
    2.its never been known to be excess with the exhuast noise(altho if u search up how this sound imo sounds much better than the new e63 for the reason that it has more character)
    3.the interior is well layed out and uses quality materials
    So idk whats everyones deal here wait for the performance tests and stop fucken fanboying

    • @stefanfreestylez
      @stefanfreestylez Před 6 lety +1

      rudy gay clearly then you base your opinion on what u hear from internet videos kiddio :) i love the e63s if i had to replace my car with this or e63s id prob go with the merc because this thing is way too similar to the old car. Trust me the 4.4 in the m5 has more character than the 4.0 in the merc. And by more character i mean the tone changes through the rev range for the bmw but for the merc is just flat same tone. Good for making pops around town the merc is but a lil dull sound up to redline.

  • @morganbagert
    @morganbagert Před 6 lety +1

    I am a massive BMW fan, and I am sure the new M5 is brilliant, but from what I have seen so far is the the E63 does everything the M5 can do but be more special, have bit more of a occasion. Ever since the e60 and e90 M cars the engines have been lacking in character and wow/star factor. These new engines are the sensible choice. That is not the M way! the 335 and 535 is all the engine you would ever need on paper. You used to get a M car because it was a bit mad/silly/insane, but at the same time was composed and handled well at the track. Now they just handle well at the track. just my 2 cents on where I think BMW have gone wrong.

  • @guillaumed1691
    @guillaumed1691 Před 6 lety

    It's a wonderful looking car and all those drive train modes are pretty cool if you ask me but I think the AMG must be more fun (especially with turbos inside the engine and the unique AMG sound).
    If it had a N.A V12 or 10 I think it would have worked better.
    But then I am not the one who drove it and it looks like the tester rather liked it !

  • @TheJoeMB
    @TheJoeMB Před 6 lety

    I'd have this over the new (very tempting E63). Beneath all the systems, it seems the car has a wonderful balance to it, and it brings more enjoyment more of the time unlike the last M5.New E63 looks great (from the front) and sounds awesome, but i suspect is a little one dimensional. can't wait for a twin test.

      I agree. Maybe I don't understand it completely, but it seems so synthetic. Like stick-on carbon fibre wrap.

      My dad found a way to disable it in his F10 M5 and we noticed that the fake engine noise isn't very prominent in the first place, but I do agree it is annoying that it exists

      how can a v8 sound fake? i kno the i8 has a fake exaust but this is as good as it gets in time where petrol engines may get replaced

      mikeythebold tv honestly you'd be surprised. The insulation is really nice on the M5 and it blocks out a lot of road noise and exhaust, so the fake exhaust sounds amplify that exhaust slightly but really that engine and exhaust sound beautiful on their own

      The current E63 also has fake engine noise pumped through the speakers...

    looks like an f10 on the hood and looks like the hood on the top of the car

    AMG 63s sadly will slay the Bimmer. Too bad Bavaria lost their way trying to chase the female customer. My E39 M was simply the last best Saloon Sport Sedan.

    At almost 2 tons it riducules the term "sport saloon".

    It took me literally decades to be able to afford this car and now that I can, I hate it.

    looks like a car you would get in a old "need for speed" fantasy game, with all thoose options and buttons!.. Just make a car that drives well? maximum 1 knob that says "race", would be enough

    So many modes.
    Can't the engineers do their job properly? Two or three and no more should suffice!?

    I like the previous gen styling a lot more. Switching to a traditional auto from a dual clutch seems like a downgrade also

    • @Slipmasina
      @Slipmasina Před 6 lety

      Thats because they dont have dual clutch to cope with 4wd and so much torque.

    Silly options, after the first week of ownership and finding oneself round the menus, 90% of owners will just get in start the engine and drive in “Comfort” mode, in my humble opinion
