Who’s ready for a glorious M5 v GT-R drag race?!
We’ve got Mat lined up in an E39 M5, and he’s about to go head-to-head against an R34 GT-R Skyline! But how do they compare?
Starting with the M5, it’s powered by a 4.9-litre naturally-aspirated V8 that can deliver 400hp and 500Nm. It weighs in at 1,795kg and it drives the rear wheels only. If you’re looking to pick one up today, it’ll set you back around £25,000.
As for the GT-R, well that’ll cost you MUCH more, with one of those costing around £120,000! However, it may be more expensive, but it’s down on power, with its 2.6-litre twin-turbo straight-six able to deliver 280hp and 392Nm. It is lighter than the BMW, though, tipping the scales at 1,560kg.
So what do you think - will it be an easy victory for the BMW? Or could the GT-R snatch it? There’s only one way to find out - LET’S RACE!

The e39M5 is just a masterpiece. One of the best cars ever for me
Agree
I own a BMW E39 M5 Yr 99, and you're totally right my brother 👌🏽💯 #mauritius🇲🇺
How the R34 remains so good-looking as time passes is honestly amazing
They probably drank good sake when they sculpted it.
As does the M!
Not really as it looked good right from the start. It will only get better
It’s just a overpriced Datsun
It is but f50 is something else
One of the best BMWs ever made and one of the best GT-Rs ever made 🙌🙌🙌
@lol qkloyv yep. Even Setsuna Yuki ever drove Paul Walker's old R34GT-R before man.
@lol qkloyv i thought Paul walker's favorite car is the Carrera GT. he liked it so much he set himself on fire in it
@@SpionHefeGamingHD Oooh, too harsh, Jr, too harsh!
@@SpionHefeGamingHD never understood why turds try make others laugh over ppl who die.
@lol qkloyv Yeah Paul Walker (RIP to our man) had one of these GT-Rs as well.
The E39 M5 seems to launch very well. The rolling races just demonstrate the obvious advantage that larger capacity NA motors have in the lower rev range. This was a good match up though.
Also RWD has a large advantage in roll races over AWD
@@leospeeds500not a large advantage. A slight advantage, power train losses will be between 10-15% for both of these cars
The greatest GTR alongside the greatest 4 door saloon ever made. And they still both look stunning 🤤
Nah the 5L V10 was the best imo
@@LorliusHogglefarts definitely as a driver's car, but terrible as a daily
🤔
I think the 190e evo 2 or even the evo 1 are better but not sure in a straight line
Yeah I think the m5 that succeeds this is the best saloon ever. This is second tho 😂
So nice to see a clean, non ‘fast & furioused’ R34. The E39 is my favourite 5 series; my favourite model being the 528i SE.
tbh, the only place i see a "fnf-ed"R34 is in game, every R34 ive seen irl look exactly like that

looks the same as every r34 ever. you must be american
@@TheKirbyArts lmao
see now I have an E60 535d and I think it's one of the best bmw shapes made. it's seriously quick for a 2 ton saloon n'all
E39 is one of the most beautiful 4 doors ever made. They're the perfect size as well.
I had two and I'd buy another
Older BMWs were just the perfect in terms of design and proportions~
That's what she said
@@kyoakland well done sir. 👏 👏
I agree with you
Both engines are such masterpieces, then and now~ That V8 sounds really good and that inline 6 sounds really good :)
I won’t call the RB26 really good sounding. It has to pass through a plethora of BMW’s on straight-sixes as far as being sonorous.
@@alstoundnah bmw makes great performing engines without a doubt but as far as sound they’re way too raspy sounding for the most part and even their turbo engine pale in comparison in terms of sound in comparison to the RB and 1jz which definitely sound way better but then again sound is all a matter of opinion/preference.
The V8 is in the Ascari KZ1. Better than Honda NSX...
Back when the 5 series wasn’t the size of a Lincoln town car. Ahhh the good ol’days. Lol.
Great content 🤟
dude my e34 is the size of a modern 2 series. they’re UNITS nowadays
Yes, when guys oofed themselves often.
2 epic cars , master pieces of their time , what an epic race , keep it up Mat 💪🏼
Iman, this is another example of an awesome drag race. 👍
Agreed man beautiful cars
Legends for sure
This is probably the best race ever because of the manual gear shifts. Proper racing.
You are delusional
Right? Not just putting right foot down and sitting there lmao
@@ghoststpatrick9467 I disliked your comment.
Love these era of cars when it mattered how good a driver you are no launch control.
Fast and Furious vibes
2 of my favourite cars, amazing race ! Great video once again !
Thanks for this match UP.
I was waiting so long for that !
Especially when wr consider that they are in my top 10 of the best cars ever built.
The stats also made this duel exciting (power vs 4wheel drive and lighter)
There is devinitely no looser, only two winners!
E39 M5 and R34 GT-R are one of the best cars out of this era, and they aged so well.
i agree with you
Two great iconic cars, MT fun, stock. This was more fun than any Lamborghini, Tesla or whatever other modern cars. Please more like this!! Thanks.
What about a drag between Logitech World Racer F1 Car vs TRD3000GT?
I agree loads better than lambos and teslas
nah youre just blinded by nostalgia
@@shamarerskine3987 Nah he's right.
@@shamarerskine3987 he is right bro
The 3rd run is fantastic and this showdown is absolutely legendary!!
One of the best looking drag races so far!
Just shows how underappreciated the e39 m5 really is 😁 loving these completely random races
It's just one of the many things that sadly go unappreciated with e39's in general.
@@erikthegoatfucker1987 cars being underappreciated is a GREAT thing so enthusiasts can actually afford them good luck getting a gtr or a supra now that the rich kids have raised the prices to the moon
Like all BMW cars.
I don't think the e39 has been under-appreciated at all. I mean look at the prices of them and always been touted as one of the best looking bmws ever made, had that very popular short film from guy ritchy made for it, ect.
@@JeBBhaMr definitely not all, but alot off them.
This was probably one of the most fun drag race to watch!
You should 'probably' keys
Rui Lourenco, i bet this one could rival Hoonigan.
@@7stiano123 👍👍
Agree👍
no it was kinda lame for me
Finally - a proper drag race . The good old days when no computer change the gears and if you miss it u lose it . Yeah, kind a reminder for how it was once upon a time 🔥
Love it .
A little example of exception for "No replacement for displacement" ... I'll take the Bimmer, thanks 🤗❣️
Always loved e39 cause always loved e46 but since I've owned a e39 the love for them just hits different, u juss have to own one to really appreciate it
A proper manual gearbox race.... A lot more fun and interesting than one with automatic gearboxes.
❤️
Exactly! Human factor is what it is making it reaaaaaly sweet
But automatic will be faster than the manual
@@nicholassebastian28 you missed the point bruhh
@@nicholassebastian28 no. Manual is faster than Auto.
Nice drag race. As a E39 driver I would always go with the E39 M5.
I would take the GTR just to sell it to buy some M‘s 🤣
@@verschlimmbessert2.0 lol as a bimmer fanboy GTR’s are still sick cars cars and look beautiful in their sportiness while older bmw always had that elegance + sportiness look
@@amero3577 i think a M3 is more sporty than a GT-R.. They got almost 50/50 front/rear weight distribution, throttle bodies for every cylinder, … on Nürburgring trackdays driving like 70% bmw‘s for a reason.
@@verschlimmbessert2.0 Coz they are dirt cheap and $$$-performance ratio is much better on BMW's. Easier to beat on track some under 50k BMW than 100k+ imported car with zero parts supply in EU.
@@verschlimmbessert2.0 An M3 is still a common 3 Series and same story with the 5...A Skyline GTR is a Skyline GTR.. The GTR will turn more heads and is more desirable as its, price tag reflects.
Such a nice example of each car. Almost feels bad to use these relics in this day and age where parts are becoming so scarce. I love the S62 motor but that R34 is just such a rarity in this day and age and the color is so unique even if its overhyped.
Those two cars exhausts together is the best sounding thing ever!
I did not expect that first drag race. The E39 (as a whole, but the M5 in particular) proves time and time again just how amazing of a machine it was and still is
Couldn’t agree more!
I would say it isn't a fair comparison overall: the M5 has the performance, but it also has the looks, the comfort, the practicality, and somehow, better value (???). I suspect on a track the GT-R has the advantage, but the M5 can still compete while being so much nicer on the drive home.
@@Eatinbritches it's more power
Stock to stock BMW win but modified both it's defend
///M dont crack :D
It’s an unreal machine, never gets old
the e39 m5 will always be one of the best bmws ever made

I'd still have the GTR but but but just as I've always wanted one and it's so iconic. Even though the M5 is a much faster easier day to day car. Both completely different, both stunning cars! Great wee video guys.
Awesome dragrace with very awesome cars !!
Crazy how versatile these drag races are!!! Absolutely love it! Can’t wait for more drag races :)
How are these races "versatile" ?

So different, but so perfect!
absolutely love both these cars. That R34 in that colour is perfect
watching manual cars launch and race is definitely more entertaining and suspenseful 🔥
blinded by nostalgia
@@shamarerskine3987 What's the nostalgia you dope, launching a manual car without launch control and then shifting through the gears is quite literally entertaining.

Good video.
Both cars look awesome.
This will go in the books as one of the best! Thanks Matt, Carwow, and guys who lended out your cars!!!
th-cam.com/video/HrbnLA0ZQss/w-d-xo.html 😭😭😭
I clearly remember when E39 M5 was introduced, and how it was featured in Top Gear with Tiff sliding it over the track! It's one of my dream car collection for sure!
Oh man that Top Gear episode with the E55, Jag XJR and the M5 with the Back to the Future theme was incredible! Not seen that in years, must be 1999ish.
❤ E39///M5 ❤️.... forever 🙏‼️😍🤩😍😎
What an epic drag race. Both are the best car of their brand.
Thank you the fellas who shared their rides. It was great watching this episode. That R34 is a beast punching so much above it weight 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Such a great drag race. R34 will always remain my top 1 choice but damm that M5 E39 was and still is a gem and the greatest m5 chassis of all time
Couldnt agree more.
These drag races are getting so cool
They are so evenly matched depending on the drivers launch and or the in gear speed set off. They both eclipsed each other, however I’m sure the R32 is easily mapped for lots more power if it wanted that edge but both cars for that standard vs standard car is so surprisingly equal. Really great shoot this was 😁
M5 also can make much more power
Si sr vi la presentación de uno con una potencia que superaba los 500 CV pero yo creo que el m5 e39 tiene su combinación perfecta con sus 400 CV en su época como hablar hoy de uno de 700 CV no se merece cambiarle nada como el M3 E30 para mí los mejores por mucho de los M en su épocas eran lo mejor de BMW y estos e39 aquí fue lo último que BMW hizo como un buen coche desde el básico 520 asta esta bestia tan hermosa como es el M5 más de 25 años y sigue aún levantando miradas ese sonido es música para quien nos gusta estos coches discretos pero con esa potencia y sonido que impresionan una vez dentro te sientes como un digno rey
Mat's reaction right before the third rolling race 😂😂😂
Mat make more drag races with cars like this R34 GT-R Skyline and BMW E39 M5! I love the classic design and the amazing performance of these cars!
I’ve never been so glad to see an e39 m5 on the channel, greatest car ever made
Two of the most legendary cars! Just can’t compare between these two. Best video Best content.❤🙌🏻
Oh man!!! Neber before was a Carwow sound test SO CLOSE!!! I can't decide!!! Both awesome!!!!
Absolutely love the E39, one of my all time favourite cars! Need to see more of it
yess, absolutely agree,
Oh this has to be my top fav drag races here!
Two manual's and two of my very favorite cars!
Thanks Matt :)
One of the best CarWow's drags :)
Epic race. Love these older battles, much more interesting than some of the new stud. Want to use my manual 996 Turbo against the BMW?
More classics please! I love this content
Yep. What about a drag between US Circuit racer vs Logitech world Circuit Racer F1 car?
All those JDM legends are so overvalued it’s ridiculous
bro bmw has 120 hp more than Gtr. It's a loose for bmw. It's 40% more power relating to gtr and when gtr is on boost they are going the same.
@@leov3_ On paper yes. In reality a R34 GTR has stock around 320-330hp (Turbo), E39 M5s have around 380 hp (NA Engine). So 230kg weight-difference and there you got the explanation for close race. Driven both cars (stock).
That M5 launches surprisingly well
I'm a bit more of a BMW fangirl (owned 4 of them) I was surprised to see the GT-R looked so much fresher as a design, at least in my eyes (I know it's a slightly younger car). Great drag race as ever and a reminder how cars used to sound .... ah for those halcyon days.
No soft limiter, manual gearbox and no launch control. THIS IS PURE DRAG RACE
I had no idea, that I have been waiting FOR THIS Drag race to ever happen!
Love it! Two of the sweetest rides ever built!
I couldn't make up my mind about which one to cheer for :P, I love both of them!
Best race on this channel by far. LOVED this.
Only way this could get any better is to add a manual Ferrari 355.
Best cars ever.
Two absolute ICONS! I would never think to put these two against each other but glad ya'll did! Thanks!
This was so awesome, manual no computer done launches, I'm actually surprised with how well the M5 did, man I'd love one of these legends in my garage 😍
@Go Caps lol well I have an M4 and I love it and have no issues, at least at the moment I did have sensor issues but fixed under warranty, love my car
Wow what a epic race!!
We are the real winners. Because we had the opportunity to watch these 2 masterpieces at the same time.
120k for a datsun almost dropped my mug of tea.
This is how drag race used to be , skills gives you the win
That was the most fun drag race of the series i think,2 legends have a fight
Imagine if we have FT-1 VGT vs R34GT-R that has 774bhp.
Yeah but it’s not a running race it’s a car race. I wan5 to see the best car not driver.
@@Playdory You don't get it man..
@@sink2a no U dont get it, a bad driver can make the faster car look bad, but with an auto its almost impossible to do that
@@TVCHLORD In a auto car, the driver doesn't matter. No skills required. Even worst in a EV. Soon, because of people like you, there will be no motorsport no more. Juste electric robot race.
What true passionate people are looking for is skills, competition, feeling and emotion.
What's the point if you juste have tu push a button ?
That was FUN to watch!!
Looks like the R34 I used to do endurance runs on GT2 on PS1. I fell in love with that car. Man I miss those days. PS1 lol. Same exact color too.
This was one of the best races I’ve seen!
Wow the M5 launched so much better than I thought it would, and the R34 had much better top end than I thought it would! Epic!
More likely the M5 driver deciding to lift off in a supposed drag race makes the GtR look like it has a higher top end than it does.
Look at the numbers, they don’t lie. The. Listen to the race and you will hear the BMWs RPM note stop rising as well as notice the difference in aggressive shifting between the runs.
@@rbslammed6163 fr, that GTR would maybe have that m5 in a 1/8 mile, but anything further that e39 would pull way harder than the GTR could handle
@@rbslammed6163 the numbers do lie tho lol, cuz an r34 doesn’t make 280 crank, really makes like 300+ wheel, the driver didn’t lift off at the end lmao
@@slowspecv69 they've always got excuses for why small engine JDMs can keep up with the big engine EDM/USDM cars
@@slowspecv69Thats a myth, lol... You jdm fangirls constantly falling for that.
Love the R34.
Car wow has won me over from not being a fan and now really enjoying the vids. I take my hat off to you.
Man I’d be brake boosting that gtr to get what you can out of it on the rolls. But that m5 is just impressive. I love that your channel is showing these stock for stock.
What a pair of cars 😍😍 I miss my E39 M5 😓
Id have both for sure if i could
that was pure fun. those jerky gear shifts. very exciting close runs!
I prefer the M5 but even I could see that the 50mph rolling start (assuming BOTH cars had to be) in third gear was unfair to the Skyline. These are both iconic cars and I would love to be able to have both of them!
yeah, 3rd gear rolls in nissans usually always result in a loss. its just out of the usable power band. Nissans thrive in digs/2nd gear rolls.
It still lost even from 60 tho. And the roll from 2nd gear too.
These two vest represent the best era of cars i think. The e39 m5 is just the perfect car.🥰
6:24 Matt realizing Sam was right about the boost is funny to me 🤣
That R-34 is stuff of Dreams ❤️👌🏻
The R34 looks bloody stunning. I think one of the best looking cars ever made.

@@yes-gs2rd because its an r34

Just shows how well engineered the GT-R really is. Even with AWD, it's down 100+hp, but that almost 400nm of torque is absolutely ridiculous. The E39 has got to be my favourite BMW and the M5 is just....gawwddddd. When the GT-R gets on the boost it's so close. Thanks for a very entertaining vid Matt!
Its not down 100 hp. Its down like 80 or 70hp.
The M5 never makes his 400HP. Most of them make like 350-380hp.
Considering the GTR never makes 280, but for sure 300+hp tve gap is more like 40-70hp. Consider then, that the BMW has 200kg more
Great video!!!!!
Two masterpieces of machine engineering! Amazing
I really like that Sam don't give up easy. Great cars, awesome race!
Awesome choices! Love the sound on both cars
1:02 Like comparison table about cars infomation, It’s great.
