BMW M5 Comp vs AMG E63 S review & 0-60mph, 1/4-mile, brake and drift comparison!

.............................................................
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!

Absolutely! I can't believe Matt had to even consider which were nicer. Those on the M5 com are some of the nicest stock wheels I've seen on a German sedan ever!

[@AudiRS6power]

I have to disagree with the Ext. Design, i think the M5 C look more serious and timeless

[@Nyjawonder]

BM is the better design any way you look at it. Excellent engineering too

[@Leah006]

Yes the best or nothing M power Bmw

[@MichelOM1995]

Bro that Mercedes looks like a Hyundai, I don't know what Mat was thinking, definetely the M5 has better exterior design, I prefer the pre-facelift E63S than the new all day.

[@Daveyboy_GolfR]

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]

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 😆

[@DefinitelyNotEmma]

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 ^^ It also has the cool Alpina wheels :D

Coming from a Mercedes fan: The BMW is the better looking and superior car... I think Mercedes is heading in the wrong direction lately designwise: The S class is worse looking than its predecessor (exterior and especially interior), just like this E class and the C class (with its tesla interior...). Only the new CLA, A class, and GLE are better than the old ones but thats just my opinion

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.

@@jalis812-gaming6 Huh?? Are you new to Mat or carwow? Maybe you only recently started watching whilst some of us have been since 2014. Several times in the past Mat has been one of the people who praised BMWs system calling it the best in the business. In fact Mat was even the guiltiest, to the point people started calling him BMW fan boy. These are his words, "very intuitive, very fast, easy to use, the best in the business". And he was right, because that was the truth, BMW had the best infotainment system. Go watch his past videos even as recently as 2 years ago. My point is when all the automotive journalists praised the system, BMW rested on their laurels and was surpassed by Mercedes who was always innovative year after year and their system became better.
