Its much more expensive than X6 , Went for a test drive last week , drove both X6 40i M sport and GLE 53. Did not feel much difference in the power , the sound is better in AMG for sure ... but overall price difference of ~40,000 USD does not justify ... BMW offers more value for the money

Thanks for the feedback. Mercedes decided to make GLE 53 AMG a very exclusive car. You will see them less in stock and they also increased MSRP by $10K for 2024 model, so they target a specific audience who don't care about payments but rather really want the car. BMW X6 40i XDrive is also not for everyone but it's more available, you can negotiate with BMW on pricing and it has the same regular B58 engine as X5 (no extra power like GLE 53 AMG over regular GLE). I like he appearance of GLE 53 AMG more and like you mentioned exhaust sound is quite nice, but I still want to try out X6 with "M Sport Exhaust System" which is part of "M Sport Professional Package".

Not if you spec like for like its not…..👍🏻

Both cars are beautiful. Might give the exterior to Mercedes. I give the interior to BMW. Give the value to BMW. Give the inline 6 engine to BMW. That engine is spot on in performance and reliability.

[@100miledrive]

Thanks for the comment. Yes, for me exterior is also 100% Mercedes. I honestly even liked interior of Mercedes more also because: 1. instrument cluster is way more customizable than BMWs. 2. Mercedes still offered some buttons to essential features like climate control, where's BMW just moved everything to the screen 3. I think interior quality looks more upscale in Mercedes unless you opt for BMW Alpina models. Engine/Performance is 100% BMW - and this is why I would end up with BMW mostly :)

Bigger than an x6, some better available features but the drive and value does not beat the BMW

[@sebastianmiller4632]

I noticed that. The price of the gle is higher than the x6. I love bmw but the gle 53 is really special

[@100miledrive]

Thanks for the feedback. After spending a day I see why there are fans on both sides. Mercedes is very flashy, fancy and has overall good comfortable ride, so this category of people care more about luxury and comfort over driving dynamics. BMW is more for those who care about being connected to the road and enjoy it's driving dynamics. Not to say Mercedes doesn't have any sporty cars they are just different.

Powerful luxurious machine

[@100miledrive]

Yep. Quite an amazing vehicle. Handling is not as crisp as some of the rivals but overall very luxurious experience. Loved the exhaust notes.

[@thatboiithando7054]

Does the AMG53 compare more to the X6 40i or M60i in terms of performance?

[@100miledrive]

Based on power figures AMG 53 is just slightly more powerful than X6 40i. But price wise it is closer to M60i. I will bring soon X6 40i on the channel to discuss the difference between X6 40i vs AMG 53 AMG and X5 40i.

[@satyakammisra]

I did not get this due to lack of the 4D Burmeister sound system which had ceiling speakers and illuminated tweeters. They had it for 2020-22 model. I got the X6 M60i and fully loaded its $109k. The GLE fully loaded at my spec was $107. BMW has the v8 and performance and the color (Isle of Man green) Only negative is the small rear seating and a tiny bit low quality interior.

[@100miledrive]

Nice, congrats on your BMW. They really bumped GLE $10K more for 2024 and as you mentioned it now really compares to X6 M60i in terms of pricing. I will try to bring soon X6 40i just to compare the ride quality.

[@DIDDY40869]

Why did they get rid of it?

[@kace2852]

4:40 For reallll bro. That is what has gotten me even more to hate BMW. I ain't like them like that but the fact of the lack of buttons i just disguting lol

[@100miledrive]

Thanks for sharing your feedback. As much as I love BMWs but I also cannot digest the fact that they are following the same trend as Tesla by imposing just 1 screen for everything. I don't care if they do this in electric cars as that can flow with that, but for gas cars it loses this iconic image of BMWs having driver oriented cabin and blends it with everyone else.

[@kace2852]

@@100miledrive Exactly bro

[@ourwedding09242011]

[@100miledrive]
