in the beginning the merc was a bit faster, but the bmw looks like it has a more consistent acceleration to the end. but when it comes to daily i would say they are very competitive.
Just drove both. The Merc has far more useable power as a daily. Sure the b58 can be tuned to make more, but stock for stock it’s a much better all around car. Suspension in the 540i doesn’t even begin to compare to the Mercedes
@@BFD15i Doesn't offer any performance? Falls behind? Is it possible that you are maybe exaggerating a little bit? By the way, the 540i weights 1670 Kg officially, the CLS 450 weighs 1940 Kg. So the Mercedes has about 8% more HP, but weighs 16% more.
Comparisons like this are nice to see, but predictable outcome. Mercedes is heavier because of emphasis on comfort. No Merc fanboy is going to expect the merc to win. If a merc fanboy cared about speed, etc., he would not be a Merc fanboy.
Merc fanboys are all about speed. Thats why they still think the E63s is faster than the M5. Merc enthusiasts on the other hand are just like youre saying putting the focus on comfort and luxury.
Versace - Medusahead hahaha shit comment. audi and mercedes were and are always better then every bmw! and.... the real competitor of the 5 series is the e class not the heavier and better cls! thats why bmw won! no discussion just the true
Goga97 lol and why does the bmw win then ? I don’t want to hate on any brand but I guess the way you shit on me just shows that you don’t have any arguments
No need to put it against an E 450. Even the E43 isn't really faster than a 540i. The 540i is a beast, I think BMW understates the power of that engine by quite a bit.
Looks like the BMW speedometer is rather optimistic against the GPS corrected speed. Did not see that on the CLS when you drove it, so not really sure what to make of the acceleration times. On a subjective basis, I would have expected the CLS to step off the line faster since it is supposed to be aided by some electric power. But that did not appear to be the case.
Yeah, so blame BMW for actually building the more competitive car that is faster with less power, right? Even an E43 isn't really faster than the 540i.
@@BFD15i i see you in every comment here. Do you own shares of bmw or what ? Cls or e class destroys 5 series anyday in terms of comfort and quality. In these video bmw was quicker after 200 km with 5-6 km difference. You wont feel it that much but you will feel the quality of merc in every second of your ownership. Go watch carwow's comparation video between e class and 5 series you will understand
@@DickeJunge_vonderSchaukel Lol. You never sat in one, if you think that is true.. The Mercedes looks all flashy and bling but feels cheap on quite a few spots. The BMW does not. And the ergonomics and handling of the infotainment system in the BMW is way superior to the E-Class.
@@BFD15i lol Who cares what you Think? New bmw Looks like a whore house with All the Fancy lights Inside and outside. That looks shity .even the kidneys are lightened in the new x5. Bmw is well known for Bad Interieur.
WTF how is it trash for you as a bmw owner and a huge fans of bmw I felt sad when comparing to merc interior it is 101% uncomparable in terms of design u gotta admit it m8.
Alex B bro this generation I think there are no better interiors than Mercedes interiors for german cars it is so much superior to everything else, it’s pretty much comparable to Rolls Royce now.
Please note: the POV is in a non-xDrive 540i. This because we do not have Autobahn POV footage of the xDrive
i am just about to ask what is that wheelspin from xdrive

Amazing sound isolation in Mercedes :-)
its even better with acoustic glass option
End hewi
Too bad it doesn't offer any performance, though. 27Hp and 50Nm more than the 540i and it still falls behind..

@@naderakbarzada4827 Except, it was not. At 0:07 the Benz is at 100kph while the BMW is at 101kph.
i think bmw underestimated the real power of the 540i, like they did with the M5
This mercedes is very quiet.
Very impressive

when you showed the BMW alone, it was not the xDrive version...
BMW 😍😍
BMW 👍
Bmw moving parts good quality
Bmw !
How quietly it goes @mercedes benz
Mercedes CLS beast
Very smooth
Is the Merc quieter than the Bimmer at high speeds (less wind noise), or it's just my impression?
It is quiter
Next time write the curb weight for better understanding of acceleration mechanics...
BMW less bhp and nm, still faster. And that’s why BMW is best ❤️
look this video bmw is only RWD no AWD { xdrive } 1.gear no traction its normal is faster

The best or nothing
역시 BMW
I pick anyway the cls
When Mercedes copies BMW
They used inline 6 then v6 engines, now inline 6... depends on what their engineers care the most.
Mercedes 1st inline 6 was in 1924, BMW in 1933.
Stupid fanboy
ich bin ich It’s true that I’m a fan boy, but what makes me stupid? Or are you stupid?
Bmw later took off!! when bmw have 1 km/h mercedes 9 km/h.
not a direct competitor must E 450 4matic but in anyway BMW is great with this engine
TheFunkyair it is 4matic ?
No need to put it against an E 450. Even the E43 isn't really faster than a 540i. The 540i is a beast, I think BMW understates the power of that engine by quite a bit.
gearbox made sense..
What a firm and silent ride from Mercedes!! BMW faster engine but less green
BMW's inline 6 is classic and awesome
If I6 has 48V system is very terrible...
Is it really Mercedes that much quieter inside than bmw of its just the matter of microphone tuning?
Good video

Cls is heavier. Simple.
Mercedes is very quiet inside

Bmw en Mercedes goeie combi ga zo door 👍

Bmw beat the Mercedes 😂
Never
@@stefandiana7611 BMW is better car, faster and has better engine
mercedes started first and the 540 still got ahead
