      I just test drove a used 5 series and I found a reasonably thicc stick in the door bin, so if anyone annoys you, you can beat them to make them feel bad. I hope the current owner includes the thicc stick (and a physical BitCoin) in the car post sale...

    BMW 5-Series - easily the most athletic exec saloon in the business. Impressive rivals, however the 5er still the daddy. Sales figures attest to that.

  • @bartiz12
    @bartiz12 8 ปีที่แล้ว +28

    I love how these cars are really different.
    - Audi - as opposed to mid 2000s, they do not float anymore, but actually you can feel what is happening on the road. Good all rounder, tries to do everything a little bit - classic VW tactics. Make car that is decent in all areas.
    - BMW - sporty ride, fun to drive and engaging, good for people who enjoy driving and going into turns just a little bit faster.
    - Mercedes - this is what you would call an Executive car. Luxury, comfort, quietness, basically a budget S class. I love the style of new Mercedes cars. Is Mercedes still considered brand for people of age 40 / 50 +? Because I feel like it is a little unfair, they have such good looking cars.
    I agree with that review 100%, but I would choose BMW for myself since I enjoy sporty ride. I do not feel like sitting in floating quiet cabin.

    I test drove all three of these. The Audi A6 was the least of my favorite. Even though I planned on staying with Audi as I was upgrading my A4 I just hated the drive. It's has a beautiful interior but drove the worst out of the 3. Honestly to didn't really give MB a chance as I hate the way it looks. The interior was so intrusive with a huge digital display that screams "hey look at me I'm modern and hip!" Maybe my tastes haven't "matured" enough to appreciate MB. The BMW 5 has a solid interior and great exterior. Very little plastic and what is plastic feels very solid. The drive was the best out off all of them in my opinion!

  • @HesteBremse
    @HesteBremse 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    A fair verdict, and I prefer BMW in general amongst the 3 Brands, but the new E-Class has taken the first(next) step which naturally is a step higher up and quite a step it is. The Interior is a marvel in design with character, no other interior looks like it, even slightly. And the exterior oozes of class, history and gentleman stability - Well Done Mercedes!.
    The AUDI in this trim in fact looks fairly cool and composed exterior wise - This A6 size fits the AUDI DNA rather well, enough surface to gain some toned down mix of power and minimalistic elegance and good stance.
    The BMW surely gains in attraction when it drives - it simply looks better moving than standing still - But to shine it´s good drivability it needs more sporty and slightly larger wheels. Seeing forward to a review of the next gen.

      Something I've noticed is that Merc have really upped their interiors and infotainment systems. Even though they're nowhere near the best drive, it does make them feel so much more... Can't wait (and I hope) BMW and Audi up their game.

    • @Horizon301.
      @Horizon301. 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Audi have been updating quite a bit of the interior we have a 2014 A6 black edition and there are around 6 changes I can think of with the interior like the gear shifter the door trim and the air conditioning controls as well as the new touch pad, when BMW facelifted the 5 series they only changed the bumpers and lights that's why the A6 still looks modern inside

  • @adamrajcan5759

    Another fine review, Mat. (You should've been on the shortlist for Top Gear IMHO!)
    One question - you usually make a point of mentioning the offset steering wheel in Mercedes' cars, most recently in the review of the current C-Class. Do I assume, then, that since you haven't mentioned it here, Mercedes have finally succeeded in converting to RHD without this annoying compromise?
    Many Thanks.

    I prefer that my dad goes with the E Class due to keeping its price more than the other cars and the comfort is outstanding.

  • @TylerF35A
    @TylerF35A 8 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    15 years ago, the 5 Series was probably the most fun, especially the E39, which was probably the best car of the new millennium. However, nothing is more refined than a Mercedes-Benz, and no Mercedes-Benz is purer, save the S-Class, than the E-Class. The W123, W124 and W211 are legends of their times. AMG kept things interesting, but the M5 was probably the most desired drivers Executive Class car.
    I believe that changed with the pre-facelift W212 E63 AMG. The model was still bested by the 5er in performance, as it was only in rear wheel drive. However, that particular E63 was faster, more powerful, and it proved to be better that the E60/E61 M5 in overall refinement.
    The real turning point was the facelift W212 E63 AMG S Model. Now with optional 4MATIC, the car was more confident and fun to drive than the M5, now being the F10. It was also better looking (IMO), was still more powerful and was now quicker off the line with 4MATIC.
    The W213 E Class vs the F10 and upcoming new 5er will be interesting to watch, not only from a performance standpoint, but from a technical standpoint. The W213 is the most aerodynamic car in it's class, is obviously the most technically advanced, but now there will be not one, but two AMG models that BMW will have to fight off: The E43 and still to be debuted E63.
    As for the Audi A6/S6, I've always considered the car as a drivers car. Audi has, naturally, been AWD, therefore more confident. Audi is getting sportier than it has been, and is catching up to MB in terms of technology. It was be exciting to see the next A6 come out.
    Obvious winner is the E-Class. A car company that has successfully migrated from ultra luxury saloons to full on sport sedans , while maintaining it's refined driving and innovation, among other things, deserves a number one spot.

    love the Audi's exterior, the Mercedes's interior and the BMW drivability... Personally I'd take the Audi due to its everyday usability and nice exterior, but the BMW is way more fun to drive (especially compared to the FWD Audi) and the Merc makes you feel royal even on small trips to the store for milk! it seems Audi managed to come somewhere between the sporty BMW and the luxurious Mercedes which makes it more of a mass market car for everyone, but at the end of the day, you have to admire and respect all three brands for staying true to their fans and innovating the automotive world at the same time... Love and admire all three, but gun to my head?... Audi...

    • @bighands69
      @bighands69 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      A car of that size never feels sporty.
      I tend to think of sporty as light weight and none of these cars are really sporty. I own a Lexus GS and it is just smooth, reliable and clean to drive and yet have people telling me about the driving experience of BMW and I truly do not get it.

      So by your terms, the BMW and Mercs are also boring, considering they're also "all the same" cept for the SLS and i8...

    • @tarastab3190
      @tarastab3190 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Kevin Daskal Mercedes the same? only C and Eare similar and only from exterior and only from back side. A, B, CLA, CLS, S, G, SUVs....not even similar cars....now look at audis....especially from A4 to A8.

    • @daskalman
      @daskalman 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The A4 and A6 are the only ones that have similar interiors, while the A8's is nowhere near similar in aesthetics. When I look at Mercs from C class to S class, and aside from some SUVs, I see the same round vents with curvy flow and a long dash screen going across. Don't get me wrong, I think it's a wonderful design, but the similarities are still there for all to see. I used to own an A8L and the interior was a lot different in terms of button placements, ventilation positions, and all around design and materials used from the S4 and S6/S7 models that I test drove. The word "boring" that you used, I would assume would be more prominent in a more luxurious setting as opposed to a sporty environment, and would be more at home describing a luxury car's interior such as Mercs. I personally don't find it as "boring" as the BMW's interior, but beauty lies in the beholder's eyes, and what one may find "boring" others may not... It's all about differentiating, and I'm glad not all car manufactures use only one design, or one concept when implementing new models.

      Good thing in my eyes. This way luxury is available at lower prices and people that want exclusivity will shop elsewhere anyways. Other than that you do notice the difference in interior quality when you campare an a4/a6 to an a8 or a 3/5 series to a 7 series or c/e class to an s class. I can't see what's wrong with that from a consumer standpoint.

    I was on the bmw bandwagon for over 10 years. I was going to get another one until the salesman I purchased 3 bmw's from tried to screw me over. so I went across the highway to the Mercedes dealer. big difference in cars. Mercedes is all about a luxurious, classy experience. for over 10k less than the 5 series I wanted to get, I got my first Mercedes. I never checked out a Benz before. IMHO, the bmw's interior leaves a lot to be desired. it's average. but the MB's interior is impressive! I'm glad that salesman tried to screw me. lol Because I'm very happy with the e300. you may get better handling with a bmw, but the overall experience with the MB is simply blissful. This is my first, but won't be the last.
