ALL opinions welcome!!
You're right about one thing the Bentley blows them all the way the leather work when you actually see it in person is unmatched
I've always been a BMW fan, putting them at the top with Audi a close 2nd and MB 3rd as far as personal preference. Then I drove a friend's 2008 E350 and couldn't believe the way it felt. It handled like a sports car and had great mid range acceleration. Interior wise, I think Audi has the nicest most exquisite dashboard and leather interiors. Performance/speed wise I think it's a toss up between the Audi S8 and the BMW M5 when it comes to my top picks. But you're totally right about the latest cars when it comes to styling, the curves of the MB really do look more spectacular and jump out at you more than the BMW's which have more slanted, less curved lines than MB. The exterior lines of MB I now think look the best, but when it comes to interior, I think the BMW'S look richer and more elegant. Keep up the great reviews sir!
I agree bro even in your first review of the s class I think Mercedes have it down pack and if your gonna spend that type of money then I you might wanna go with the s class Mercedes!!! Like you said few steps above that's Bentley money fa real bruh!!!
Also I don't mean to bother you about this but I Google a aerospace engineer and that's just like a rocket scientist. Don't mean to cheap asking you this but you the only brother I know of on that level. What school did you attend?
Silverback219 Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University for my Bachelors and Purdue University for my Masters.
I agree with you on the 8 series they got this wrong! I like the 6 series more. But I can buy a used one
2015- 2019 S CLASS COUPE BEATS THE BMW HANDS DOWN! NICE WORK BRO!
It's rare a modern BMW can beat a Mercedes. The S Class coupe is the best car for anywhere close to that price.
Huh? M5, M3, M6 and m4 can beat every MB except for maybe the MB SLR. 😁 I'm sorta kidding around, I realized you're not speaking in terms of 'racing'. As far as what you're saying though, I don't know, I'd say it's pretty close.
@@christopherwalker6056 BMW, with a few exceptions stopped making great cars after the E39 M5. Mercedes has its own issues but BMW has really moved away from what made the brand special. Fake exhausts, fake M models, lackluster interiors. The 8 Series is a great car, but its can't compare to the S Coupe which possibly excepting the new Bentley Continental GT is one of the finest GT cars ever made.
As ALWAYS you brought your A game to the table. Gave me something to really consider. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts on the two cars.
I think the design of the BMW 8 series looks better than the S-Class....looks more fun to drive (BMWs are indeed usually more fun than MERCs)
Those new tail lights from BMW on the 8 and 3 series are ridiculously hot...2020 4-series (baby 8-series) which will be unveiled sometime this year will probably adopt those same tail lights. I saw an 8 series yesterday and i was impress; looks better in person than on videos and magazines.
With that being said, I'd take the S-Class over the 8 Series. It's classier and i prefer its conservative look. The 8 looks rebellious...fast race car like, which is fine....but if i needed that, i'd walk straight to the the nearest Porsche dealer to worship the 992
Jaxz that 992 tho!!! 🔥 🔥
Ben...Now lets compare the S63 sedan with the BMW m760i !!
He don't want that work
Mercedes is faster, has more power, starts at the same price, and will best the BMW is so many ways. Plus the Mercedes doesn't have a fake engine noise pumped through the speakers.
Yeah, give me the Benz. Yeah, I'll take a BMW 645 convertible over the new 850i!
Radell Stewart yea 645 is more bang for the buck at this point, I’ll take one too lol
I agree with everything you said, keep up the good reviews, thank you for sharing.
There you go my friend. Now you’re talking💯💯💯
Another great video Mr Wayne! You’ve made some interesting points here I do think Mercedes is generally the better of the two but I also agree with the fact that bmw seems to be going in a completely different direction with their design language. I think subtlety is the key for bmw maybe a future compare contrast design language would be a good idea for a future video? And I’m super excited about the new Mclaren GT looking forward to your review how do you think it’ll stack up against the Bentley continental? Also the updated GLC 300 4Matic super excited for your review as well! I don’t understand why they haven’t changed the infotainment and updated to the two screens like they did the New CLA 35 but I look forward to hearing from you sorry about the long winded comment lol I love your videos and cars lol great job again loving the content
So...The equivalency (horsepower wise) between the M850 V. the S63 seems to be the correct match? I'd still take the S63 coupe with that fabulous green exterior and saddle drown w/that timeless walnut wood interior AND whip that M850 anytime...anywhere! Having said that...The M850 is quite nice for the initial product launch...Not bad for the 1st inception
Another great video and you are right about the S class coupe v M850i. They are 2 different classes of car and the price corroborates that too.
Best 8 series and S Coupe comparison on RUclips. Thank you! To me the S Class and the S Class Coupe has a better interior than any Bentley. I understand if someone disagrees but i absolutely love the S interiors
tompparaideri Thank you! No worries, all opinions are welcome here bro.
Man, the interior in the continental/new flying spur is the best I've ever seen, pretty much the perfect car imo. The screen in the Mercedes takes too much of your focus to me. The LS500 interior is really nice as well, that pleaded fabric in the doors with the cut glass looks amazing. The Benz is definitely up there though.
Hey I counted thirtyTHREE wafers in the tail lamps!! 😃
yup you're right! but you get the point lol
BMW looks much cooler! Mercedes is old fashion!
Crazy cause I just saw an S Coupe last night in white under gas station lights! Photographs don't even do it justice- this thing was GLOWING. I HAD to stop and stare. But seriously we knew BMW was fakin when they failed to use their V12 on the new 8-Series. V12's give cars a type of credibility casting a halo across the entire range. For decades in the case of Mercedes' V12's. Up here in Maryland we like the understated aura of Mercedes over Bentley. Personally I say that R230 SL is the best convertible experience on the planet with it's hushed aerodynamics and autobahn bred interstate dominance.
I see these in two different classes. They might be cross shopped but I can't see them competing with each other(think the price of the 8 might max out where s class coupe/convertible starts) BMW 8 seem more closer to a SL Benz (just by size it look, price point, etc) The s coupe seem more closer to Bentley or Dawn.
Think BMW might of held back because of the luxury brand they have position above them. Benz don't have that limit/consideration when making a vehicle.
Won't fault anyone for getting either.
You make some good points. The manual windblocker on the BMW cabriolet is an embarrassment in a car costing over $100,000. IMO, any convertible with an electric top should come with an electric windblocker, otherwise what's the point of the convenience of having an electric top? I think you have to compare car to car, though, and not class to class. The MB S560 sedan would be in the same price range as the BMW M850i Grand Coupe. Here, I think you are comparing a luxury cruiser to a sport tourer. Your review can be summed up with your closing statement "That 0-60 time doesn't matter all that much to me." BMW put the money in the engine, MB put the money in the interior refinements. I do think BMW set themselves up for disappointment, though, by moving the coupe from the 6 series to the 8 series without adding any superiority over the 7 series.
I wonder why I salivate over 600HP when 400HP is more than enough? I'm guilty (and have never been on any race track at all), but it gets a little nuts to have a car you can use only 30% of without losing your license. I saw a hot Camaro doing the same 5mph I was stuck in on I-95. Sad, but true. I'd bet I was more comfortable (less miserable).
BMW is Sporty and Benz is Classy.
Greatest comparison on the Internet!! As for me I’m going for the 8 Series 4door coupé....Thx Ben!!🙌🏾
In the end. BMW's are designed for performance. I'll take the BMW over a Mercedes any day. I feel the interior of the Mercedes is nothing special.
I agree, the interior on the one he's driving looks a little cheap. BMW's have richer looking more exquisite interiors.
@@christopherwalker6056 I was thinking the same thing. This is why these comparison videos can often be misleading. As for the driving experience I would rather go for the BMW. I do agree the styling on the Beamer is on the bland side especially for it being a flagship model. Even with the Benz being the prettier car, there is something about how the BMWs ride that make them very unique.
@@deuce9star I discovered that about the ride when I first drove a BMW back in '97. I drove my cousin's 1995 BMW 525i. It was forest green with beige leather and wood grain interior. I realized why beamers were so expensive. It just made you feel so connected to the rode. It just felt so solid. The ride was super smooth yet it was so tight when cornering and the steering SO responsive in it's cornering ability.
@@christopherwalker6056 I used to have a 1995 540i. That e38 is a legendary BMW. Mine was Midnight Blue with tan interior. I eventually put 2000 M5 rims on it which enhanced the look dramatically. Everything you said about the e38 is spot on dude!
@@deuce9star awesome! Midnight blue is one of my favourite colors for a sports car or sport sedan. And that engine is sweet. That's a pretty quick sedan even by today's standards. I would love to have one in a manual trans.
As a member of a BMW forum, we agree that the S coupe beats the 8series too.
Guda Lawrence please share this in your forum!!!
@@BenWayne85 , I definitely will but they not gonna be liking me afterwards 😎😎😂😂. Having owned a Benz like 5yrs ago they feel am still Benz affiliated.
Guda Lawrence yea the internet is funny like that, post your opinion about something and wait for the fight lol
The BMW wind deflector seems to eliminate any back seat passengers.
Ben, EXCELLENT review! Your best yet. Thx, KLW
Mr Wayne always on point.
Fantastic analysis...as always..
Ben Wayne...When taking about GT cars/coupes... where do you see the Lexus LC500?... competition. Or no?
Clay Benjamin Smook that’s an excellent question. I think the LC is good competition for the 8 series. I would even argue it has a better interior than the 8 series and great reliability as well. However the LC still can’t see the S-Class.
I agree 100 percent. The s class really is on a different level. More objectively so in the interior. It is an everyday drivers car with a Bentley level interior.
Thanks Ben for another great video.I chose the 2017 S63 AMG Cabriolet Edition 130 , as reviewed by you several years ago.It has been , overall , perhaps the best car I have owned. I have driven it 20,000 trouble free, bullet proof miles. It draws complements whenever I drive it.Only 130 were produced world wide, with perhaps 50 delivered to America.I have never seen another on the road over the last 2 1/2 years.I have driven the Bentley GT, the S65 Cabriolet, & prefer the S63. How to you compare this version with the later S63 & the others. Keep up the good work!
Ugh, I hate that BMW got the 8 series so wrong but I think I'd still get it over the S coupe just based on driving machine versus cruising machine. Anyone doing tuning on the s class like they are in the 8 series? Close to 700hp.
The white colour of the BMW doesn't do it justice but yeah, the S coupe is a fast piece of art.
You spoke about depreciation. If you're planning on keeping the car. I'm definitely going with The Mercedes. Bentley and Rolls depreciate the worst.
Super Rones they all depreciate, but given the fact there are SL 65s on eBay for $35,000, I would tend to say that the AMGs depreciate the worst.
I agree with you Ben Wayne, as of this moment, but when the M division of BMW releases the M8, to me its going to be the top dog of big Coupe's especially the competition version, please do a review of it and give it a test drive, it might just make a believer out of you.
Ben, once again thank you for sharing your thoughts on the BMW 8 series, and the Benz S-Class. The S-63 is my dream car. Now you got me thinking of the Bentley. The interior means a lot to me. :)
I perfer the s63 but the m8 has better performance
Yeah nice cars Ben, but that is personally... The RR is the King, but I have a small Mercedes B Klasse in Holland and that is my tiny RR Loll :)
So did you drive anything except your SL?
Yes I’ve done full reviews and test drives of the 8 series and the s cab.
Awesome vid, but isn't the s-class meant to compare to the 7 series, also there is no way you're telling me the s-class looks more aggressive than the 850 lol. I feel like the S-class is more for luxury and the 850 is more for performance.
Dave Maxon Yes, the S-Class sedan is comparable to the 7 series ;however, we’re talking S coupes and cabriolets here which brings the 8 series in to question.
@@BenWayne85 cool I gotcha!
Great review as always Ben. I agree with what you said about the two cars with the S being in a different league than the M850. The S is closer to the Bentley while I think I can compare the BMW to the E-class convertible if cost wasn’t an option. You seem really high on the S Class, so if money wasn’t an issue how would you compare it to the Dawn . Those seem closer in comparison than the S Class and the Bentley as far as driving dynamics in my opinion, as both seem more geared towards comfort rather than sport.
Maaaannnn I LOVE the Rolls-Royce Dawn!! Even though it's on a 7 series platform, the Dawn has a presence to it that can't be denied. Honestly the Dawn and S Class are different vehicles. One is a luxury GT, the other is a Land Yacht!
great video Ben. What model Mercedes are you driving in this video?. It looks like a circa 2004-2007 interior. Am I close? (Mike in Ohio)
Hey Mike! Yup, this is my personal Mercedes SL 500, 2006.
The 6 series is much better than the 8 series but the Mercedes S class totally blows them away.
You're comparing apples to oranges. The s-coupe is meant to be a luxury barge in coupe form. The 8 Series is meant to be a sports car in luxury form. That's two very different things. You're just viewing them from a luxury barge perspective. The 8 series is in the Aston Martin segment, it always was, BMW said from the beginning that it's a sports car first, then a luxury car after. It's understandable that people want to compare it to the s-coupe but it's just not in the same segment. The 8 series is a dynamic marvel while also offering incredible comfort and luxury. And in my opinion, the 8 series looks better on the exterior while the s-coupe looks better on the interior. But in terms of driving capability, there is no comparison whatsoever.
You were on point on everything you said. MB is far ahead of BMW. Great review once again.
Overall the s class is better
Bmw = Sporty trying to add luxurious
Benz= luxurious trying to and sportiness
Especially when it’s M’s vs AMG’s
Id def choose a used s class coupe over a brand new 8 series 🤣
8 series is overpriced because it’s actually a 6 series, and BMW know it. They’re very clever at marketing. Seems they enjoy taking money from customers more than they enjoy making good complete cars nowadays. Some people argue that BMW begins each project thinking about all the vast amounts of money they can take with that car rather than thinking how they should build a good car that would actually be loved and eventually sell loads and make them loads of money.
Your R230 SL though 😍🥰
Keep it forever
Yeah, not selling it. I think the R230 looks waaay better than the current gen!
As GT dailys go it's the S63/65 Cabriolet. And it's not even close. Now the Bentley on the other hand, makes me mouthwater to see a Maybach Cabriolet.
I agree with everything you said, but you are right about the price difference. If BMW ever make a hardtop convertible M8series. I might try one out. PEACE!
The CL class is the most beautiful car MB has produced & bigger than a S coupe!
BMW made a mistake trying to use 8 series to compete Porsche 911. Mercedes rightly made S-Class Coupe to compete Bentley Conti GT, Aston Martin DB11. Audi is predicted to come soon with A9 (luxury Coupe version of A8) and Porsche are also predicted to come soon with Panamera Coupe. So 8 series/M8 is going to be left in the middle of nowhere unable to truly compete effectively in the segment of Porsche 911, Aston Martin Vantage, Audi R8 etc, and also not truly able to effectively compete in the segment of S-Class Coupe, Bentley Conti GT, Aston Martin DB11, and other offerings coming from Audi and Porsche. But maybe that’s the way BMW wants it.
Central Lifestyle this comment is perfect!
Besides all that s-class is years older than 8-series and yet beats the 8 with years long edge. Both cars are not in the same league. Cannot compare both. BMW is trying but Benz is still the king.
It is a 6 series, hell. The 6 serious convertible is cooler that the 8 simple for that bad spider kind o window on the 458
Ben, you are %110 right.
If your taste is Kardashian (blingblingbling) and if you are old, then the S-class is for you.
But if you like something simple, contemporary, hi-tech, sporty looking with really good performance, and if you are young, then the BMW is for you:))
So it boils down to taste... blingy taste and refined taste:))
But what if I want them both? lol
This comparison test is irrelevant.
To compare the BMW 8 series to the Mercedes Benz S-class coupe is like comparing a yacht to a big cruise liner.
They are both fancy boats, but they are completely different.
The Mercedes S-Class coupe is a smaller version of its flagship luxury car, so certainly it is good in luxury and ride comfort.
The BMW 8 series is designed specifically as a GT performance car with lost of tech and is design to take on the likes of Porsche, but with more tech and comfort.
The 2020 7 series looks better than 4 door S class.. but BMW dropped the ball on the design of 8 series
Mercedes bling v BMW engineering i dont think so.
Mercedes Benz ALWAYS!
Beauty is subjective I find S to be bloated and dull looking And why not talk about the cheaper materials used on the S Class
I'm not a BMW fan but I just wanna say your review is biased because of your love for Mercedes. for me the BMW more beautiful than your s class.your Mercedes only win on the dash behonest thanks
S class way better
👌
But T-challa won the war you know what I mean
Ron Iron ive been waiting for someone to say this in the comments LOLOLOL
No shade on my brothers, but most of the comments on this thread are black guys, it's automatic that blacks prefer Benz over BMW, cause it has always been deemed the best, and blacks have always been known to bury themselves in debt behind these cars. So, when bring realistic about the the two Titans, I really can't go with black guys, they will bury themselves in debt for a car name brand
I won’t say whether you’re wrong or right, but I will say that your comment is coming from left field! We’re just having a lighthearted conversation, not some deep philosophical debate about the financial plight of the modern day person of color, specifically the men. Relax...😩🤔😏
@@calvingreen7197 still gotta call it what it is though.
demarkus love Well, hopefully it made you feel better, having done your daily PSA. I prefer BMW in general, so not ALL the commenters choices can be ascribed to your stereotype. Anyway...
@@calvingreen7197 I said most in here, not all.
You said that it’s automatic that ALL blacks (guys) prefer MB, so I’m letting you know that not ALL choose MB. Go read your own post.
HEY! CUT THAT (25%)I CAN TELL BY TONALITY & INFLECTIVE HESITATION! U CLEARLY DON'T KNOW WHAT U R TALKING ABOUT!THE RELATIONSHIP OF CHARACTER LINES NOTE [EMPHASIS] ON RELATIONSHIP HAS A LOT TO DO WITH MATURING PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN RATHER THAN SOME NOVEL LINE CHARACTER CHANGE! WHICH THE JAPANESE MADE HEAVY USE OF AS A REFRESH VISUAL! BUT THEN THE BUILD QUALITY SUFFERS! SINCE MANY FACTORS ARE @ WORK IN GEOMETRIC RELATIONSHIPS NOT JUST WIND! SO THE DISCIPLINE OF STRONG CHARACTER RECOGNITION REMAINED ONLY WITH A VERY FEW STRONG COMPANIES [BMW] WAS ONE OF SUCH, ALSO VERY RICH IN IT'S HERITAGE OF DESIGN! AFTER WHEN IT WAS BANNED FROM MAKING ENGINES SURVIVED PRIMARILY ON DESIGN SERVICES FOR MANY YEARS AND IN THE PROCESS CREATED A LOT OR MANY OF INDUSTRIES FIRST! IS MORE POPULAR AND HAS BETTER BRAND RECOGNITION PICKING OUT A COMPARATIVE MODEL THAT THE [MERC.] CONVERTIBLE MAY B BETTER LOOKING THAN IS NOT ENOUGH TO SAY THAT [MERCEDES] IS A BETTER LOOKING CAR THAN A [BMW] ACTUALLY IT'S THE OTHER WAY AROUND! [BMW] HAS MADE MORE BETTER LOOKING & RECOGNIZED MODELS! THAN MERCEDES! OVER THE YEARS FOR A VERY LONG TIME! AND STILL DOES!
BMWs are german Toyota Camrys. Mercedes interior is almost like a Bentley.
