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

    • @Daveyboy_GolfR
      @Daveyboy_GolfR 2 года назад +11

      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
      @Daveyboy_GolfR 2 года назад +9

      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 😆

      It's not hard to love an AMG over Bmw M these days. Bmw just seems to lost the rawness in their M cars, engine sound is overly-synthesized, steering is vague. It just seems that Amgs these days tingles the senses more so than a Bmw M

      the M5 is here the wow factor, has more power, is faster, and the interior looks mature, serious. it doesnt try to be something else than a very fast, timeless sportssedan and the mercedes is a excellent car and a very elegant design but thats what you expect from a mercedes. being a good buttler. the M5 however is challenging you and screams do punch it ;)

      It sounds and looks worse than the M5. I heard both IRL multiple Times, and the M5 is just way more brutal and louder. And the best: it doesnt come with fake exhaust pipes, plastic interiors, and a feminine look. So i dont really get your decision, but okay.

    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
