If u want a Car with a bit more Luxery just not enough power go for Benz, if u want a aggressive look from outside and the interior as well with better race performance it has to be BMW (I honestly prefer the Beamer
the E-class has a weird baby-face. The 5-series looks so much more substantial and purposeful. Also the rear lights on that BMW... so unique. I love them
Coming from a Mercedes fan: The BMW is the better looking and superior car... I think Mercedes is heading in the wrong direction lately designwise: The S class is worse looking than its predecessor (exterior and especially interior), just like this E class and the C class (with its tesla interior...). Only the new CLA, A class, and GLE are better than the old ones but thats just my opinion
@@simphiweradebe2680 well he likes Mercedes styling more in general, while I like BMW styling more. Taste doesn't make a reviewer bad. Only human. Instead of those boring cookie cutter reviewers that like everything equally.
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
I own a 2019 E63S and it is my favorite "all time" car I've ever owned...458,R8V10+,Huracan, 991TTS, 650S Spider. Just installed a Renntech ecu tune and it's on a whole new performance level!0-60@2.87 & Quarter@10.8 128.8mph. A SUPERCAR with ROOM and COMFORT 👍
Mat always does the right verdict when it comes to head to head, but this time though, I think he's wrong because that BMW is bonquers and it doesn't have a soft limiter a 5000rpm, it's just a cold start that restricts it. I would personally prefer the BMW.
I like the BMW too But as he said while driving Mercedes feels better while driving Better sound And much better to travel in A bit more special inside So yeah I think Mercedes is a better choice logically! :)
@@hasbilksar985 looks are subjective! I didn’t talk about exterior looks! (I too think bmw looks nicer!) Overall as a better package I personally think the AMG is the better choice :)
@@shravannair1657 let's not forget that BMW m5s have been notoriously unreliable and always breaking down at very low mileage, terrible compared to the hand made AMG engines
@Rossthats right, but there is no reason to inject fuel on deceleration, other than to make some idiots happy, who dont know what a good engine sound is.
@Ross On small cars with less than 2l of displacment, I find it somewhat acceptable because it reminds a bit about rally racing, but especially on big engines or naturally aspirated enigines, I find it horrendes.
This M5 had to keep that legacy of the fastest supersaloon in the world since 1985 and it did. At some stages it was loosing to the RS6 like in 1998 but now they are on the top undoubtedly.
The video didn’t change my mind. I still would have the M5 every single day of the week, In fact I would have the BMW 5 series in any other configuration from 520d to 550i vs any E class. It just looks better IMO 🤷🏻♂️
I'm actually impressed at the development and improvements made to the launch control systems made to the BMW M5 like it actually was able to launch properly
0-60 in 2.9 seconds, and a 10.9 quarter mile! Many supercars, even modern ones, cannot do those kind of figures. This is a 1970kg 4 door sedan with a big boot and space for 5 adults. That is just outrageous. 13:45
Never heard other reviewers having an issue with M5's steering or at least feeling 'it's not connected to the front wheels', Mat! You must be a lot more perceptive!
Very few journalists have credible opinions like Jason camisa or Chris Harris. Most of them just repeat something they read somewhere else so it sounds like they know what they're talking about. I'm going to guess Matt heard someone else complain about it so he ran with that story here
@@yusufkajee7274 He might've said it's not the most feelsome steering, but Pretty sure Chris Harris didn't say the M5's steering feels it is not connected to the wheels. More to the point, if the M5's steering was as poor as Watson is claiming, it wouldn't be the track weapon that it is (for a large saloon), would it?
@@jalis812 Huh?? Are you new to Mat or carwow? Maybe you only recently started watching whilst some of us have been since 2014. Several times in the past Mat has been one of the people who praised BMWs system calling it the best in the business. In fact Mat was even the guiltiest, to the point people started calling him BMW fan boy. These are his words, "very intuitive, very fast, easy to use, the best in the business". And he was right, because that was the truth, BMW had the best infotainment system. Go watch his past videos even as recently as 2 years ago. My point is when all the automotive journalists praised the system, BMW rested on their laurels and was surpassed by Mercedes who was always innovative year after year and their system became better.
@@carlhenriksen5640 In terms of performance (0-100), handling (we see that he moves much more in the seat when driving the Mercedes) and interior materials. These are aspects that we must admit, whether we prefer Mercedes or not
@@knino8321 Didnt he mention performance was better on the BMW. Handling was better on the Bmw, but by just a little? I do feel the Merc feels more exciting to drive due to it's rawness of its engine sound compared to the over-synthesized sound of the Bmw. The Merc just tingles more senses i guess.
Great review, but missed the fact that when your cruising along in the AMG, it shuts off half the engine to save fuel. Evident when you did the kickdown test by the symbol on the dash. So not only is it down shifting, but also reactivating its other 4 cylinders. AMG my choice for noise when moving.
You can get more feel in the steering if you fiddle with the settings. But I do get what you mean about the steering in comfort setting. The cars are so well matched that it comes down to whether you’re a BMW fan or a Merc fan. In a different colour (Marina Bay Blue for example) the M5 makes the Merc look very average I see there was no mention of mpg in the test 🥴
ive watched alot of reviews on the new bmw M4 and M5 and many ppl say that they wish the steering was better. so thank you for helping me make my decision for the AMG
BMW all day everyday!!! Not even a contest! I've had (and still got) a 3 series BMW for work,I drive all over the country in it and it blows me away!

@@MrWaheedulHaque I think with design overall, Mercedes are doing a better job than BMW lately, I'm sure the next Gen 5 series will look Terrible just like the newer BMW models. At least for Mercedes they look stylish

M5 is perfect, the Merc looks soft, and sad with all this downward opposing angles…
Merc looks elegant
the red might’ve helped

That Merc looks like a lot of fun, but M5 all day long.
Mercedes looks like hyundai.
@@czesaw597 noron
The gen before this Merc is so much better. I'd take it any day over the current-gen M5.
M5 all day, everyday
You've never driven either you only just look at which is slightly faster
A big saloon/sedan car hitting 0-60 in 2.9 seconds, that’s foooking incredible.
The Tesla plaid is the same (big saloon) and can do it in 2.0 secs. If that bmw is fooking incredible, the Tesla is ungodly.
It is with 1 ft rollout, and also 0-60 mph is not 0-100 km/h, so it is fast but not so impressive. I can do 0-100km/h in 3,2 without rollout in a 2018 450 hp car!
@@anonypersona3189 it’s electric dude, you can’t compare,
@@Shane-zx4ps Doesn't change the fact that the Plaid is ungodly in comparison. I never disagreed with your statement that 2.9s is incredible.
@@Shane-zx4ps what about the Tesla model s plaid?
Makes me incredibly happy to see the car that started the sports saloon is still the very best of that category.
The E63 won the comparison though
M5 looks like a good car.
Mat is a proper AMG fan boy in this 🤣
Except when the m5 won the 0-60 and quarter mile.😂 His true inner bmw fanboy came out then.
@@alexg1778 haha exactly 🤣 tbh I’d take the M5 all day everyday cause I feel it looks much better and more aggressive than the E63s
If u want a Car with a bit more Luxery just not enough power go for Benz, if u want a aggressive look from outside and the interior as well with better race performance it has to be BMW (I honestly prefer the Beamer
From the very beginning i know that he will pic the merc ,the he talked about it juste like the m5 wasn't there .
You could see his face of jealousy when he compares M5's front.
“Now let’s see me being a proper hooligan”
Matt: softly giggling, “wee.”
Hahahaha!
He did say “proper”.
the E-class has a weird baby-face. The 5-series looks so much more substantial and purposeful. Also the rear lights on that BMW... so unique. I love them
That's just ur opinion
Coming from a Mercedes fan: The BMW is the better looking and superior car... I think Mercedes is heading in the wrong direction lately designwise: The S class is worse looking than its predecessor (exterior and especially interior), just like this E class and the C class (with its tesla interior...). Only the new CLA, A class, and GLE are better than the old ones but thats just my opinion
Then only thing that made Matt to choose the rear of the Mercedes was because it had a 3 STAR badge at the back, how biased is that?!!! ......
@@simphiweradebe2680 well he likes Mercedes styling more in general, while I like BMW styling more. Taste doesn't make a reviewer bad. Only human. Instead of those boring cookie cutter reviewers that like everything equally.
Look at the interior of the E63s...absolutely magnificent🤤

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
C in the us
Very good for you guys 😉😂😃
8th is the only one 😙😚☺🙂
Agree. Merc looks like a bubble on front after facelift
It's funny how he managed to shape his lips just like the shapes of the grills of each car
I own a 2019 E63S and it is my favorite "all time" car I've ever owned...458,R8V10+,Huracan, 991TTS, 650S Spider. Just installed a Renntech ecu tune and it's on a whole new performance level!0-60@2.87 & Quarter@10.8 128.8mph. A SUPERCAR with ROOM and COMFORT 👍

Thank you for the honesty
Both cars are good end of story
BMW is just legendary, even if you face it against Lambo it will look good.
Apparently Matt has all the right things to say about the E 63 but in reality we all adore the M5 C
BMW 💙
No
No
Mercedes-Benz🤍
Both ;)
It looks so much much better than the new E-Class, alone that reason would be enough for me to chose the M5 but I would take the RS6 over both
Mat always does the right verdict when it comes to head to head, but this time though, I think he's wrong because that BMW is bonquers and it doesn't have a soft limiter a 5000rpm, it's just a cold start that restricts it. I would personally prefer the BMW.
I like the BMW too
But as he said while driving
Mercedes feels better while driving
Better sound
And much better to travel in
A bit more special inside
So yeah I think Mercedes is a better choice logically! :)
@@shravannair1657 no, the bmw looks way better
@@hasbilksar985 looks are subjective!
I didn’t talk about exterior looks! (I too think bmw looks nicer!)

@@shravannair1657 let's not forget that BMW m5s have been notoriously unreliable and always breaking down at very low mileage, terrible compared to the hand made AMG engines

Shouldn't be a surprise :-)
That can put supercars to shame 😂
All day every day BMW M5 competition 😍💕💯
You blind mate?
@@Bertha076 no, he just has an opinion, as do you.
I love how everyone hates fake engine sounds, but loves "pops and bangs", which are evenly fake...
I agree.. p&b are so stupid
@Rossthats right, but there is no reason to inject fuel on deceleration, other than to make some idiots happy, who dont know what a good engine sound is.
@Ross A view years ago, no manufacturere did this and these days they even do it on the view naturally aspirated cars that are left.
@Ross On small cars with less than 2l of displacment, I find it somewhat acceptable because it reminds a bit about rally racing, but especially on big engines or naturally aspirated enigines, I find it horrendes.
@@carrera_2s well said!
This M5 had to keep that legacy of the fastest supersaloon in the world since 1985 and it did. At some stages it was loosing to the RS6 like in 1998 but now they are on the top undoubtedly.
BMW just looks insane!
Exactly, it's very understated and stylish.
The Mercedes has an oversized grille and looks like an angry fish, such a downstep from the pre-face-lift
The video didn’t change my mind. I still would have the M5 every single day of the week, In fact I would have the BMW 5 series in any other configuration from 520d to 550i vs any E class. It just looks better IMO 🤷🏻♂️
you didn't change my mind: merc>bmtroubleyou
Same here, love both brands but bmw is #1 always.
The m5 just simply put looks so bad inside, its horrendus compared to the merc imo
@@edombre4637 At least BMW doesn’t rebadge Renaults and sells them as their own 😂
Mercedes A class is better than any bmw 5 7
I'm actually impressed at the development and improvements made to the launch control systems made to the BMW M5 like it actually was able to launch properly
I'd have the Merc for the feel & sound. Amazing how fast these big cars are now 0-60 AND quarter mile
@F90 definitely doesn't sound worse, looks are subjective. Mat, Chris Harris, Motor Trend, etc all say the Mercedes is more fun.
0-60 in 2.9 seconds, and a 10.9 quarter mile! Many supercars, even modern ones, cannot do those kind of figures. This is a 1970kg 4 door sedan with a big boot and space for 5 adults. That is just outrageous. 13:45
Hey Matt kinda a bit subjective on your take on the M5. Though great content to watch. Cheers
the last time i was this quick, I wasn't called virgin anymore
Damn
German here… and no, I don’t want to switch to the German channel, I’m here because of your style of testing/presenting cars, Mat! :D
Never heard other reviewers having an issue with M5's steering or at least feeling 'it's not connected to the front wheels', Mat! You must be a lot more perceptive!
Lots of people bashed the M5 C for not being a true M5.
Throttlehouse and straight pipes
Chris Harris said it too
Very few journalists have credible opinions like Jason camisa or Chris Harris. Most of them just repeat something they read somewhere else so it sounds like they know what they're talking about. I'm going to guess Matt heard someone else complain about it so he ran with that story here
@@amg863 Matt’s a professional. Why would he complain if he can feel it too
@@yusufkajee7274 He might've said it's not the most feelsome steering, but Pretty sure Chris Harris didn't say the M5's steering feels it is not connected to the wheels.
More to the point, if the M5's steering was as poor as Watson is claiming, it wouldn't be the track weapon that it is (for a large saloon), would it?
Remember when every auto journalist said the BMW infotainment system was the one to beat in the business? Now, it is referred to as decent enough.
Yea that's just strange
Since when did Mat say that?
@@jalis812 Say what?
@@tjones2260 That BMW system was one of the best? Many journalist did but Mat didn't, he always admired MBUX and also Teslas i think.
@@jalis812 Huh?? Are you new to Mat or carwow? Maybe you only recently started watching whilst some of us have been since 2014. Several times in the past Mat has been one of the people who praised BMWs system calling it the best in the business. In fact Mat was even the guiltiest, to the point people started calling him BMW fan boy. These are his words, "very intuitive, very fast, easy to use, the best in the business". And he was right, because that was the truth, BMW had the best infotainment system. Go watch his past videos even as recently as 2 years ago.
My point is when all the automotive journalists praised the system, BMW rested on their laurels and was surpassed by Mercedes who was always innovative year after year and their system became better.
All supercars: I have 1000hp ultra light weight and I can do 0-100kmph under 3 secs
BMW: lol.. hold my sedan
😂😂😂
Meanwhile the Tesla S Plaid: you're slow as a 🐌, M5.
410mm optional rotor selection? Lord have mercy that's bigger than most cars wheels in the 90's
Cracking review, I do feel a lot of the points raised were subject to personal preference.
First video that i see Mat being that much biased towards one brand
Feels like he is paid by Mercedes to kill that bmw… while it is clearly better than this e63
@@knino8321 in what aspect is it better?
@@carlhenriksen5640 In terms of performance (0-100), handling (we see that he moves much more in the seat when driving the Mercedes) and interior materials.
These are aspects that we must admit, whether we prefer Mercedes or not
@@knino8321 Didnt he mention performance was better on the BMW. Handling was better on the Bmw, but by just a little? I do feel the Merc feels more exciting to drive due to it's rawness of its engine sound compared to the over-synthesized sound of the Bmw. The Merc just tingles more senses i guess.
Holy schmolly Mat dropped the ultimate banger for curing the monday boredom
We aim to please! 🙌
@@carwow tell me please, what is the name of the bmw color ?!
Great review, but missed the fact that when your cruising along in the AMG, it shuts off half the engine to save fuel. Evident when you did the kickdown test by the symbol on the dash. So not only is it down shifting, but also reactivating its other 4 cylinders. AMG my choice for noise when moving.
The amg would be cool if not for that overly thick steering wheel. It's horrible.
@@livolas I mean bmw steering wheels are usually pretty thick too
Absolutely LOVE your reviews. Thanks for being so animated!

@@DaveDVideoMaker oh I see! Sorry for the misunderstanding mate.
No probs. It’s because this user keeps replying to everyone in the comments of this video, and it’s annoying.
You can get more feel in the steering if you fiddle with the settings. But I do get what you mean about the steering in comfort setting.
The cars are so well matched that it comes down to whether you’re a BMW fan or a Merc fan.
In a different colour (Marina Bay Blue for example) the M5 makes the Merc look very average
I see there was no mention of mpg in the test 🥴
Can I just point out you were doing 77mph for that brake test on the M5, probs won’t make a difference, just saying 🤣🤣
spot on - It would make ~1m difference.
Also noticed, would really appreciate it if the tests were done with 100% equal playing grounds here
Just wanted to write that and it would make a difference for sure
was just thinking about that
It would not make a difference from a kinetic perspective
1:54 I don't believe that Mat can impersonate the grills like that without watching himself im the mirror.
Okay Мат, I’m going for an M5.
