[@anthonysarcona1673]

Does anyone else forget this is a Top Gear video and just think of it as a Chris Harris video?

[@ollolol7879]

me too

[@Kiarax1]

Indeed, Anthony! But I remain flabbergasted at the number of dislikes it has received... how???

[@dtprodrive]

Kiarax1 just sheep following each other and disliking cuz it’s a top gear vid. For me this vid is better than any new top gear episode

[@garychapman1164]

Brilliant car, I have one!!!!!

[@georgeapplegate2091]

Pretty much, who needs top gear, just need CH and a car going fast on a track with his commentary. My favorite journo / driver/ driving celeb / monkey for sure.

[@signwithconner]

Chris harris saved top gear. It will never be as good as the trio, but its turned into something different I can still genuinely enjoy

[@robz1471]

Conner Brown singled handily saved it.

[@apt62]

I liked it more than before, more car focus now.

[@robz1471]

Let's just have an hour of Chris. Bin the rest

[@brownblair98]

Conner Brown Agreed.

[@herbysylvestre6175]

@rockn roll they were entertaining enough to become the most watched show in the world at one point. Don't apply your sensibilities to the rest of us bruh.

[@andreurgal]

This guy driving it's ridiculous! What a great driving

[@TroBudden]

Andres Uruguay check out Chris Harris P1 test. its driving magic.

[@Autovolution]

TroBudden I watch that vid when i want to be remembered why I love cars. Definitely magic.

[@TheDonCucaracho]

Welcome to the good side of the internet my friend

[@joeynice123]

Watch him drive the f40

[@garychapman1164]

Andrés Fornari Viera he’s a brilliant driver

[@redchristy]

Can't count the amount of times I've came back and watched this video over the years. What a machine!!

[@TakuroSpirit77]

"I'm in full stiff" Me too, Mr. Harris. Me too.

[@martingetliffe]

😂😂😂😂

[@yazeedsaber28]

5:10 WOW

[@geethsan1567]

Agreed. That drift was perfect.

[@blazed6644]

that is JUST ridiculous. absolutely ridiculous. the most perfect thing i've seen today.

[@JAnx01]

We need to GIF that.

[@JAnx01]

Ahahahahaha thanks

[@MrBrownsvillesfinest]

did u gif it yet

[@AlexanderHolsgrove]

[@BChan1991]

So he farted?

[@matthewbowler6563]

Point is???

[@GioMiqel]

Chris harris -Legend no more words needed.

[@uninsulatedshrimp5518]

GioMiqel he's good, really good. But I disagree with the legend status

[@rextetron]

Me too, since he's a super legend.

[@Aireisor]

So who do you like more reviewing these types of cars Chris or the Orangutan?

[@bigdaddyd4133]

GioMiqel how much do you get paid by BBC?

[@mr.dankengine]

Nothing beats 'Daddy DeMuro'

[@broadblast3141]

My God this man can drive!!

[@Andr3wgRe]

Chris Harris saved top gear. Period.

[@cinorikese5890]

Wherefore? For talking about a machine as in a soap opera?

[@JackVinall35]

Not as good as the original trio

[@areeb001]

Chris Harris + Neil Carey = probably one of the best combinations in car review world ever!

[@howarddavies136]

Areeb Akhtar, couldn't agree more. I think they tried changing Chris' style for the show, but these online reviews are the best motoring journalism going.

[@Bahamuttiamat]

not probably, definitely

[@domgt3rs]

he didnt need to go to top gear.. they could have made them by there selves

[@yusofjohan3456]

how about matt watson tho

[@tompog897]

Couldn't agree more 👍🏻

[@ChimaChindaDev]

Top Gear is in safe hands. Also, what a machine.

[@lisalouisekeen4191]

I am a big BMW fan girl, I own one! but my oh my, what a machine this looks. Even better when Chris Harris is reviewing it. Super film and a stunning car.

[@DavidGarcia29497]

I think this little girl vs. the new M5 is probably gonna be the closest duel ever between BMW and Mercedes... :D

[@peterjordansonthe2nd731]

Lisa Louise Keen What else do you own M8?

[@jaguarf-type2264]

Lisa Louise Keen don't jump ship just yet, the new m5 will put this back to the number 2 slot, merc will have a couple months unaposed, but that's only cause bmw drug their feet with the new m5

[@NeutralGenericUser]

I'm guessing you own a BMW 320i, and that makes you a super knowledgeable "BMW fan girl", right? Out of your circle of girlfriends, you're the only one who can tell the difference between a 3 Series and a 5 Series. What an accomplishment!

[@ballsdeep6932]

mhmhm, have to agree, i'll wait how the new m5 is, depending on that and some test drives i will get either one. as a long time beamer driver i have to admit i do dig the interior, just not sure about the weird thing in the middle compares to the i drive which i personally find superior, i still didn't like it on the 2017 e series which drove for some time, but we'll see i may be swayed to the benz depending on the new m5 interior

[@beyond305]

chris is just such an easy person to listen to, very well spoken and very intelligent when it comes to explaining cars. I can watch his videos all day

[@quacktac]

AMG, and Mercedes in general have been really on the ball with the last few cars.

[@zachg9065]

Dream car. The complete package. This truly lives up to the name "the best or nothing" it's spectacular.

[@abbey69]

What a sexy Mercedes

[@geigerzoola6642]

blabla62871 lol

[@bruXX2]

Do you like the interieur? The exterieur is.. boring as most mercedes, but the the mercedes interieur is absolulty the ugliest shit you can buy in my opinion

[@yksi1]

Djokovic bladimir We've got a hater or what? Or are you really serious? If so, I couldn't disagree more.. Imo it's sexy as hell!! Could be my dream car. Sadly enough I will most likely never afford it.. 😐

[@YTSuxAxx]

The interior is "sexy as hell"? Please get out more.

[@papa_pt]

Aaaal ! it's easily a better looking Interior than Audi or BMW's

[@sly900000]

That 4 wheel drive system is soo clever. Can't wait for it on the next gen C63. Wonder if the new m5's 4 wheel drive is as sophisticated

[@Nordspets]

I would love to see Chris make a comparison between the two!

[@charles-davidberube1174]

STR TV the m5 will have a similar system but between us, which car would you prefer to own. I'd pick the e class as it has changed from the older gen.

[@charles-davidberube1174]

Kaisuke971 from my experience with bmw, the modes don't change anything at all in the dynamics.

[@Kaisuke971]

I deleted my comment because i figured it kinda looked like we were talking about two different things, but anyway the AWD mode is 50/50 while by default while the AWD Sport is 80/20 by default (both variable), and with the DSC off it allows slip at the rear but still catches with the front. There are test drives of the prototypes that explain this

[@raymondnewbill2748]

The new ///M5 also offers a 100% RWD mode that will stay locked with NOTHING going to the front until you change it back. Tough choice for me!!!

[@gianhet]

Thid car truly is something else, and i find the cabin to look absolutely gorgeous

[@captmcneil]

Absolutely. I have owned my fair share of Mercs, like a CLK, a first gen CLS and the previous E class. I now got myself a W213 with the exclusive interior (code P22), and honestly it's the closest thing to a Bentley you can get for under 100 grand. It's so nice, the open wood trim is gorgeous, it beats any Audi, BMW, Lexus and Porsche hands down. And it beats the old W212 E class by a mile. Plus, at least in my opinion, it does one of the best jobs at integrating huge flatscreens without making it look like a bolted on iPad. He is right about the ride though, even in Germany with Air Body Control it's quite busy - the W212 was softer. But the handling is just great. And the PHEV options are even a fun alternative, rather than a diluted rational decision over a 6 cyl. Overall it's just a great car.

[@angus20715]

Gonna be fun to see the comparison between this and the latest BMW M5.

[@Kaisuke971]

An AMG and an M Car have never been that close on the paper sheet, it'll be very interesting and probably down to details

[@Kaisuke971]

+Thr Truth "F1 Experience" doesn't mean much here, for these class of cars you'd be better off with a GT Racing team than anything else. The last gen E63 S was slightly slower on a track despite having everything going for it as it was AWD, lighter and more powerful than the F10, it just had a lesser gearbox. This turn the F90 is lighter but has a power deficit, and they are both 4WD. It will mainly come down to who has calibrated their setup better. But keep in mind this is the E63 S vs the base M5, whatever happens there is still the Competition Package and possibly a CS or even a CSL to come.

[@hasanal-habbobi4018]

TheBimmerMan well your username shows that you are a bmw fanboy so its kind of not surprising for you to say that. Looks are subjective. For me e class has better looking front and m5 has better looking rear. I like interior of e class more but I like the seats of m5 more. Sound I prefer e63 but not by much and handling is on par for both cars alteast for now until we get a proper comparison. So they are actually really closely matched. So prefrence is the ultimate deciding factor.

[@callumpenman5992]

The Truth 😴😴😴no the amgs are the same and haven't changed for years and it's getting pretty boring: v8 and too much power. Imo the m5 looks better, and it's not greatly overpriced like every other Mercedes for value for money amg is way down the pecking order, previous generation m5s are so much more exciting and at least have a bit of variety. As for going electric, I must of missed something because they've got 1 electric car and 1 hybrid, because Audi and Mercedes hadn't done it yet, besides the new project 1 has electric motors that boost a 1.6l engine to over 1000hp. No excuses being made, Mercedes have just overtaken BMW in the sales category after 12 years at the top. Don't get me wrong if I didn't want the m5 the E63 would be second on the list, this is just my opinion though.

[@hasanal-habbobi4018]

+Callum Penman Lmao dude did you even watch the video? Chris said that the e63 feels a lot like an m car. He specifically addressed your point. Amg are no longer just muscle cars, no they are actually capable drivers car that can handle properly with proper transmissions. He even talked about how this is especially true with the 4wd system which kicks at just the right time to give that confident handling. Looks are subjective and you're crazy if you talk about either of these being overpriced since they are both very expensive and anyone cross shopping these cars won't be worrying about the price difference as much as you are. LMAO you are truely a clueless bmw fanboy. THe m5 and e63 are very closely matched, both v8s, both 4wd, both great exhausts, both sporty and fun to drive. They are very darn close and closely priced too. Mercedes has the B class electric cars as well as the sls e cell to name a few as well as their upcoming eq line up.....and they have had hybrid cars for quite a while such as the s class plug in hybrid. In fact speaking of hybrid they have a project one hypercar which uses an f1 inspired hybrid train. Bmw wasn't the top 12 years first of all. It was top the most within a 10 years span. In otherwords it wasn't always the top for the entire duration, its just that it was mostly at the top during that time. Big difference. Theres nothing wrong with liking the bmw more but your reasons for liking it are very biased and come from simply hating on mercedes.....atleast thats how it looks like from the tone of your comment.

[@grunta101]

Neil really should win awards for these videos...

[@anotherone10]

5:09 That smoke!

[@veereshsangolliV12]

Harris is bloody awesome

[@bigvic0484]

Took possession of my 2018 on March 14 and am still astounded by this vehicle each and every time I engage with it. Unbelievable vehicle.

[@jeevangopal482]

7:26 That transition though.... It shook my heart so much! I swear! It left my entire body tingly for even minutes past it. The emotion it brought... The sound design, the cinematography! Love....

[@TrapHut]

Jeevan Gopal I loved it!

[@d0718]

I'm so early that Chris didn't destroy the tyres yet

[@lukasn.3281]

I think tires are scared to death, if they see Chris coming...

[@vasileeugenpanciuc7400]

He had the pressure sensor going mad but he never looked at it lol

Chris Harris = Best car presenter ever!

[@TobyT91]

Beautifully done, as always. Can't wait for Chris' review of the new M5!

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. The day I buy this car I’m dedicating it to this review🤞🏽

[@Guzurti1995]

Missed you videos Chris, It is great that you offer them at the Top Gear channel. Amazing review as always.

[@dari6795]

this is so beautifully edited. i watched it once for the car and once for the insanely beautiful shots and music

[@dlygrind]

You've re-set the bar with this one boys! Truly a masterpiece that made me want to get out and drive. Bravo!

[@ninja_beast1217]

Bro that AMG is mad 🤑

[@armando4015]

The car is striking, let alone the brutal sound of this engine. A great masterpiece!

[@numbfall]

I could never watch the old Top Gear. Now this is my favorite show. The content is creative, well written and naturally presented, and edited in a way which is easy to the eyes. More straightforward love of motoring. Less dramatization and no more forced unnatural mundane humor. Thank you Chris.

[@panzerfaust375]

Usman Khwaja I agree the old show was for non car guys.

[@stevenfarrington2361]

Very, very good review. Best explanation of the E63 chassis I've yet seen and video so good I felt like I was there. Chris, Neil and team, you've set a very high bar for car reviews, well done!

[@peeto85]

4:35 perfectly timed blip/shrug combo

[@abdelhameedbarqawi2907]

The centre back seat view where we can see chris drifting is the best .. give us more of these shots please 👌🏻

[@VjaceCZ]

Epic review, epic video. As always. Don't change the style Chris and Neil do their job, just let them create more and more videos. Awesome.

[@Kerbhunter_Alex]

I only subscribed TopGear to see and hear Chris Harris' reviews. I feel such a warmth while seeing it. It's magic.

[@Pzkriek]

Chris and Neil, absolutely fabulous work!

[@dkphantomdk]

AMG sound is great.. just growling perfection. I love the AWD / 2WD options on this car.. brilliant.. just brilliant. Looks good too..

[@HEKTIC458]

Im so excited to have a drive of this car! I think it's gonna be a bit of a game changer for AMG with the 4wd/rwd setup

[@RossMKF1]

HEKTIC458 I’m glad the new M5 is doing it as well pretty awesome on both divisions since now you get practicality and the ability to drive like a maniac.

[@nirfz]

Finally somebody who mentions that such cars need at least an 80L fuel tank! Thank you!

Can't wait till about 10 years so I can afford one for about 40,000 fully optioned out

[@matthewmatthew638]

hint: In 10 years this car would cost like 4000+ a year in maintence alone so you still cant afford it.

[@acelondon2011]

Just get a lease hire for 2 years will car you. £600 a month who knows if your Alive in ten years

[@apt62]

Trust me, you don't want to buy a used AMG car.

[@headbandassasin]

Why so?

[@chatwithaninja]

Definitely! I've got a 8 year old C63 and I'm LOVING it. In a few years I'll upgrade to a newer C63, then the next step is this one... As long as the electronics show some longevity. AMG engines are built solid so I'm not worried about that.

[@maxhi88]

Again, you forgot to give it a DougScore!

[@jameswillard1]

Guy Incognito yeah Chris Harris! You forgot to give it a totally useless score based on stupid parameters that you made up and instead you gave us a brilliant review of what the car actually is like to drive you big arse!

[@maxhi88]

I'm so happy we're still getting some kind of Chris Harris on Cars, as before he moved to Top Gear, those were my favourites.

[@frank09busa]

Chris Harris is the one whom convinced me to purchase my GT3RS by way he explained the car. now, I might be looking at E63S. keep up the great work Mr Harris.

[@Tristar_Darren]

Chris & Neil's youtube content is epic & this Merc is awesome...Chris also now rocking an IWC Aquatimer 'Galapagos'

[@kickkid29]

thank you, I figured it was an iwc. beautiful watch

[@tomol012]

I am soooo thankful to Top Gear for letting Chris and Neil keep the Chris Harris on Cars formula on the show - there is no better car review team on the Earth or Mars (guess we should start taking that into consideration if Elon is to be believed) :-)

[@longtailgt]

Wonderfully shot and edited! Some of the scenes were truly mesmerizing to watch!

[@asirintisar2334]

love it

[@nevieortega7958]

This brother can sure drive man, wow! The skills any racing driver need include car control, situational awareness, race craft, engineering competence, patience, balance, and discipline. To go fast a driver has to get as close to the theoretical limit of adhesion in a corner--physics dictate what that limit is. Successful drivers learn sufficient car control that they can test those limits and be able to reel it back in when they push a little too far. This dude has all of those instincts and more. How did you get this good Harris? You are awesome bro. Well done!

Still wondering

always the same eyes andres luque remix

[@ilcomendante]

It’s probably custom music for the show, having said that it seems heavily inspired by ”AIR”. Look up ”Talkie Walkie” album

[@b6s4shelter]

As alway Harris is fun to watch. This car, sadly, no owners of this car will take it to a track and drive it this way. For the money, if you have the money, track cars are way better and cheaper to go with. It's great and all that this car can do this, but who cares. On public roads you'll likely kill someone trying and on track you'll wreck a 5000 lbs saloon. It exemplifies the best of an era going by.

[@TC-lk2ev]

What are you talking about? Go to the nurburgring. I saw a few e63s and some c63's there. Of corse there was infinitely more m3s and Porsches, but some people do track AMGs

[@nihselauto]

Sadly you are right. People who buy the AMG only use them to show off which is sad to watch. I have a Benz.
