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!

Hi Mat here. Which would you have: BMW M5 or AMG E63 S?

[reyyk]

the m5 is one of the very few bmws that hasn't been ruined by the exterior design team
edit: yet
edit : cooked

[semird]

That BMW is a beauty and those wheels are so cool looking for some reason.

[richardlabeja]

Can we just appreciate the stupendously fast launch and quarter mile of the M5.

[muzlp]

0-60 in 2.92 sec? Wow not that long ago that was top supercar’s territory 🔥😱

[MajerXVII]

Incredible how the M5 did exactly the same 1/4 mile time as Yanni's Aventator SV in the last video D:

[Ashley_MG]

Im a huge Merc fan, like huge! But that M5 is insane with the looks

[AudiRSpower]

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

[dontatme]

Mercedes guy here. E 63S is my favourite car of all time. Until now. The sound of that M5 and the 0-60 in 2.9 seconds just blew my mind 🤯

[elmeri]

I just love the back of that M5! The lights are so amazing and they fit perfectly!

[AnurM]

I’m typically a merc guy, but the styling on this generation 5 series is amazing!, prefer the previous gen e class styling as well

[florianj]

The color of the BMW is so sweet! Such a great color! This is my absolute favorite! As the car too. The M5 is a neat little piece of engeneering. Such a great looking car!

[tawanamakotsi]

It is nice to see BMW's old grill
You're gonna miss that

I felt that😢😢

[TheCarKrazeOfficial]

Can’t wait to see a review of the m5 cs 💪

[HypnotizinDetailz]

I wish I could say I prefer the Mercedes - because I prefer Mercedes in general, but in this particular comparison the BMW won in my book. 😊

[markrhoden]

2.9 seconds to 60mph in a full four seater luxury with a big boot.
OMG 😲

[bosnianclowngaming]

We still waiting the race on dry between these two cars.

[afflicts]

Im more of an amg guy but the design on that m5 has more of an aggressive and nice look to it. For the amg, I still prefer the older designs rather than the newer designs of the e63s and that goes for the c63s as well

[ApothecaryTerry]

2:05 - this is going to be in my nightmares for months.

[CoolPurple]

I personally think the M5 is the best-looking car BMW currently makes, makes the M3 look like it was designed by interns.
