Ronald B. Morgan well most modern cars are curvy, not angly. Mercedes has grown into a casual businessman car, while the m6 is rare and much prettier, and almost everyone agrees with me.
Please get an eye exam, then rethink your fetish for common looking beamers, that are totally unlike the ones made in late 80's and mid 90's that were truly sweet looking cars,unlike the common looking German stuff today.r
Really love the M6. Actually saw one in a BMW dealer back in September 2012 and I couldn't get over how nice it looked. However I would still choose the E63 because it looks amazing and has a brilliant exhaust note as well.
Dude, the 6.2 engine is pure muscle. Turbo chargers come with parasitic drawbacks. Theres no replacement for displacement. Mercedes have been in the muscle car game a long time, ive drove fast cars, even turbo'd hot hatches and the mercedes 63 is an animal.
Not a bmw fan, but i still think m6 is one of sexiest cars ever made even by today's standards, the size of the kidney grill is just the right size, the tail sticks out so smoothly, the proportions are just on point!
Sexier and faster and better to drift guys. Why are you all holding back on the compliments for the M6? it has been proven to you all. Not a better road car I accept but he has proven to us even at the end of the video that its faster. But thats just me I guess. Gotta get me an M6 GC for real
I tell you what this boy can drive a bit can't he!!! O my giddy Aunt!!!!! He's handling these monster super saloons with the fluid control of a magician waving a wand coupled with the precision of a surgeon!
Another great video from Chris. I am considering buying an E63 AMG S model and fortnight ago, my dealer kindly loaned me one for a few days. I can vouch for every comment Chris makes - it is crazy fast and I liked it, but if I'm honest, it left me a bit underwhelmed. Its has lots and lots of power, but opportunities to use that on UK roads is rare…this is one long-legged customer and sooner rather than later, you WILL run out of road, as I did. Then there's the sound - Merc makes a lot of this 'Sound With Power' marketing, but the car IS quiet. Sounds great on tick over, but its very quiet as you rev it harder, which is a byproduct of the turbos. What I'm comparing it to is my 2012 C63 AMG owned from new and a turbo engine is never going to be as vocal as a non turbo, so in that respect, the E is nowhere near the same league as the C with its snarly normally aspirated V8. So thats a dilemma - do I go for the 585bhp with its quiet express-train performance but with little opportunity to use it on UK roads, or do I stick with my C63, which at 487bhp, is a bit behind the E, but has more than enough power to enjoy, but also has that frankly incredible drag-racer sound track…….maybe not such a dilemma!
True that, due to the i-drive button and therefore the bare cabin bmw lost some customers to audi and such a few years ago, but the new interiors set them apart. Had a look at the newest merc's too but the cabin is just so ermmm normal compared to the big bmw's.
its not about the interior BMW is just another level car it has its own temper when u sit in bmw ujust want to floor it and drift and do crazy stuff and in merc ur calm and audi... its VW try to combine both
I tried several different BMW models when I had mine serviced at the dealer, and among all models, M6 has the nicest interior. I didn't make this statement based on imagination.
M6: Sexiest exterior, incredible interior. E63 AMG S: Comfort and good quality materials. Great exhaust. Jaguar XFR-S: .... I'd pick the M6 any day, and this is coming from a Merc fan!
Finally a video that definitively shows me, the viewer, that BMW has still got it. Looks the best, makes the best use of its engine and thrills the way BMW's always have. Kudos to BMW and kudos to Chris Harris for this amazing video.
Those steering wheel shots while drifting, authentic feelings and in the end the choice for excitement over numbers... next level auto-journalism. I have no idea why other car tests still show 2 minutes of numbers, a slalom, timed lap, bootspace, space to sit in the back and all that s**t when the stuff Chris and Neil do is all we really want and wait for in every single car vid we are hunting for.
Whilst i respect your insightful comment, i doubt you purchased indicators with your BMW. Youre all complete tools on the road, a bmw overtook me in a 30 zone because he was so butthurt he couldnt catch me. Most of you are narcissists.
big thumbs up to the camera crew, the road shots are excellent and I'm glad to see that you finally invested in polarizing filter! sound quality feels improved too
In all the tests I've watched on here where the M5 and M6 have been pitted against a Jag XF-RS, Merc E63 AMG, Panamera S etc in a grad race, the BMW's have won every time. I think it's astonishing.
and still I'd buy a Panamera or E63 over the M6... With the M5, it's probably going to be different story, but the Panamera gives a bit different presence since it is more exclusive than normal 5/6 series/E-class...
Chris Harris, thumbs up for another great video...I don't think there is another person that has this unique talent to review cars in such a hilarious yet great way !!! But I have a remark ! This video simply needed the "SLAYER" shirt!!! Take this into consideration...
The Jaguar "isn't quite there" with the BMW. No, as stated at the beginning of the video, it costs £20,000 less and is the oldest design. What were you expecting?
That Jag is good enough for me. It’s a gentleman, full of charms and character For me the perfect daily driver 👌 BMW: not bad, but out of balance (design) Mercedes: no, thanks
I just love how unbiased he is and speaking on all angles for how others are thinking . That’s what it’s about while presenting this . Then state final opinion at the end. That’s how it’s done ! Perfect !
Did this M6 have the competition package? I thought the calipers looked similar to the carbon ceramics you find on the competition package. I just could slip a peek at the rotors to tell if it was or not.
If you want all luxury and really don't mind power, go for a mercedes. If you want both luxury and awesome performance to go with it, you definitely have to go BMW (;
***** ok give me for the follow mercs the BMW equivalent that exceeds its competition: CL/S coupe 63 and 65, SL65, SLS, GT S, all black series (CLK63, C63, SLK55, SL65)

Holden Special Vehicles is a subdivision of Holden (an Australian car). Its what AMG is to Mercedes. The GTS is the flagship of the HSV. Google it, the VE GTS E3 looks better than the new VF GTS though, which is a shame
I've seen the VF in person and it definately looks nicer than the VE (which looked a bit vulgar). In images though the VF does look quite strange. Also I think the tech in the VF is probably not much different to the jag, and considering the price is quite a good deal.
I like the jaguar xf, but I don't like the rs, its just ugly and vulgar, and the blue doesn't help it much. I'll stick to the standard car, that's gorgeous
Chris, BMW is known for heavily underrating their powertrains. People who put the M5/M6 engines on a dyno got very close to 600+hp/PS, and not the "official" 560PS.
Probably so that when they release the next generation M5 in a few years they can say that it has 600hp with a "new" tweaked engine. The fact that the competition pack enables 575hp, it wouldn't surprise me if it has 600+hp anyway, but has been toned down a bit. I guess they need to leave a bit of leeway for the next generation, because I don't know how they could make this engine any more perfect!
ahhh, no wonder the RS7 was noticeably absent! This was really a drift contest on the track and there's no way the Audi would be any fun for Chris to do skiddies and talk for 3 minutes about its throttle response and steering feedback. Interwebs, be damned!
Paul Optional Siegfried can't deny that. although Chris has debunked the myth that a Quattro with torque vectoring sport diff can't oversteer. Do a search for his DR video oversteering an S4 Avant with a sport diff. Still not nearly as "bonkers" as a RWD drifting for sure.
kookieless 7er is ugly, BMW flagship should be like a Aston Martin Rapide style, 2+2 coupe, because to compete with S class would be difficult, why they follow the style S class (rear lounge seat+fragrance perfume+led interior). BMW is drivers car like a their motto "sheer driving pleasure". backseat comfort? useless, many of BMW owner drive car itself.
XFR without the S. Rebuilt the engine and im leaning on it now, running but not quite all sorted out. Watching this for some inspiration to get through the final issues. Can't wait!
If only I could get the Merc engine, suspension and steering rack in the M6 Gran Coupe. All brilliant cars though. What an age we live in to witness family four-door cars with MORE power than a Ferrari 458. What an age indeed.
We did have them before, yes, but now we have a monumental lineup of cars that can munch the 458, in power terms. Also, mind you, that the power outputs are also much more impressive than they were. The E63 AMG, M6, RS7, S8, M5, XF-RS, CLS63 AMG, and the new, upcoming Cadillac CTS-V, all have more than 570 BHP. That, to me, is incredible.
I wouldnt let you Sir, id hide in a thicket and piss on you as you tinkered with gods creation. BMWs are nasty, i dont hate BMW as a brand, just the cunts that drive them.
I'd take the XFR-S. It doesn't take itself too seriously like the M6 and E63. (Just look at the spoiler and psychotic color.) It's cheaper than the M6 and E63. And most importantly. Saying "I own a Jaguar" sounds a lot more attractive, than saying "I own a Mercedes" or "I own a BMW".
When you own an M car or an AMG you dont say you own a BMW or a Mercedes. Your response is, "i drive an M6 or I drive an E63" end of story and that is very much attractive, try say you own an RS and i bet you everyone will be wondering, is it a corrolla or a nissan..
You forget that the BMW has a twin-clutch transmission, while the Merc still uses a wet-clutch which may sap more power than the Bimmer's transmission. Once Merc goes to a twin-clutch, it may see better 0-60 times.
I had the pleasure of driving an M6 Coupe for about a month and let me tell you, those cars are so underrated its hilarious! I would actually say the BMW produces 600 horsepower at he fly. ///M
trevor philips well actually the e63 4matic amg s they sell everywhere else exept uk is much faster than any bmw, plus it looks way fancier and the interior is much better. thats why.
When M6 came out I was certain that I could never own it, but as of last year, it’s parked in my garage 😎
Congrats man! I hope I can say the same in the next 2 years!
Nice, i'll thrash you in my C63 and indicate on my way past
Definitely didn’t think I’d be able to afford one, but now I’m almost ther to getting a M6 convertible triple black
Congrats man, I am eyeing one so bad, hopefully can own one in next 1-2 years :)
Do you like it so far?
Of course it is. They're worth about 40p now.
There is nothing like coming home after work, having a beer and watching this guy do powerslides for over 10 minutes

I would rather see a beautiful woman drifting than Chris Harris. XD

I agree with you

Chris, if you get a chance you should try the new HSV GTS, it's got about 575hp and is RWD.
Exactly what i was going to suggest!
what's a HSV?
Holden Special Vehicles is a subdivision of Holden (an Australian car). Its what AMG is to Mercedes. The GTS is the flagship of the HSV.
Google it, the VE GTS E3 looks better than the new VF GTS though, which is a shame
Hmm the Holden is several leagues down the chain to these cars in most aspects. Unfortunately the tech is about 10 years behind in Holden/GM vehicles.
I've seen the VF in person and it definately looks nicer than the VE (which looked a bit vulgar). In images though the VF does look quite strange.
Also I think the tech in the VF is probably not much different to the jag, and considering the price is quite a good deal.
Brilliant as always Mr. Harris!
Jag should pay you money to have that wing equipped on that car. Throws off the whole package imo.
The wing is an option on the Jag, it comes stock with a bit more of a subtle wing. More of a big lip then a wing actually.
Definitely harris has one of the best jobs on this planet.

Chris, BMW is known for heavily underrating their powertrains. People who put the M5/M6 engines on a dyno got very close to 600+hp/PS, and not the "official" 560PS.

I guess they need to leave a bit of leeway for the next generation, because I don't know how they could make this engine any more perfect!
The E63 S puts down 676hp. It's grossly underrated from the factory.

If I remember rightly, Merc overpowers their press cars, or maybe that's internet BS.
So by your logic (and judging from the video) the BMW makes about 700hp?
It has 560 hp in the worst conditions(heat/humidity/poor fuel). In optimal conditions probably close to 600.
Chris your face at 6:49 had me pissing myself. So intense. Great vid as always
the merc looks like a hearse/taxi... but still, dat engine sound :)
WsG7 Hearses are awesome... And its one of the only vehicles that people are dying to get into!
Jason Bordeaux haha u got the point!
Because a lot of taxis and hearses are Mercs, they're reliable and sophisticated.
I actually saw the brand new e class hearse and I'm definitely gonna have one of those on my funeral
The M6 redesign is gorgeous in person. Well done.
ahhh, no wonder the RS7 was noticeably absent! This was really a drift contest on the track and there's no way the Audi would be any fun for Chris to do skiddies and talk for 3 minutes about its throttle response and steering feedback. Interwebs, be damned!
I don't know... You'd get some pretty good front end drifts due to the Audi-standard gobs of understeer
Yes thats right but the rs7 would have won the drag race thats for sure.
João Gonçalves very true. AWD FTW in that respect.
Paul Optional Siegfried can't deny that. although Chris has debunked the myth that a Quattro with torque vectoring sport diff can't oversteer. Do a search for his DR video oversteering an S4 Avant with a sport diff. Still not nearly as "bonkers" as a RWD drifting for sure.

You would get one, then the tow truck would pick it up from up the tree it crashed into
M6 Grandcoupe should be a flagship!
new 7er is a big dissapointed.
+Hendra Di just an overpriced m5 honestly see no reason to buy an m6 when you could get an alpina b6.
+Hendra Di what's wrong with the new 7? it's a lot lighter and has some crazy cool backseat comforts...
kookieless 7er is ugly, BMW flagship should be like a Aston Martin Rapide style, 2+2 coupe, because to compete with S class would be difficult, why they follow the style S class (rear lounge seat+fragrance perfume+led interior). BMW is drivers car like a their motto "sheer driving pleasure". backseat comfort? useless, many of BMW owner drive car itself.
XFR without the S. Rebuilt the engine and im leaning on it now, running but not quite all sorted out. Watching this for some inspiration to get through the final issues. Can't wait!
That Jag is just so bloody pretty. It looks more dated than the other two sure but man do I love it.
8 years on and I'd say it looks less dated than the other two. The M6 and e63 have dated badly.
@@MD-uu5nt Wow. I had great tastes at 19.
@@BdaB164 ha, good for you. Always interesting to read old comments.
Great review. Currently looking to buy an M6 GC or E63 and can't make my mind up!!
If only I could get the Merc engine, suspension and steering rack in the M6 Gran Coupe. All brilliant cars though. What an age we live in to witness family four-door cars with MORE power than a Ferrari 458. What an age indeed.
Fair enough, but the previous M5 had more power than the F430 and the E39 M5 had the same power as a 360 Modena.
We did have them before, yes, but now we have a monumental lineup of cars that can munch the 458, in power terms. Also, mind you, that the power outputs are also much more impressive than they were. The E63 AMG, M6, RS7, S8, M5, XF-RS, CLS63 AMG, and the new, upcoming Cadillac CTS-V, all have more than 570 BHP. That, to me, is incredible.
I wouldnt let you Sir, id hide in a thicket and piss on you as you tinkered with gods creation. BMWs are nasty, i dont hate BMW as a brand, just the cunts that drive them.
What happened to the rest of the /INSIDE QUATTRO series? was looking forward to the rest of that aha
BMW builds awesome car in the last years.
Man I wish I could say that now...
At last! Harris is back!
I love that m6, i’ve driven it and it’s a blast to drive !!!!!
Like like like!!! As usual Chris. I love to see this things sideways!
Love the Muttley imitation laugh at 04:48
Where is that, when driving along the countryside?? Beautiful scenery.
this m6 is the best looking car BMW ever built , except for the 635 csi !!
M6 in gun metal grey. Unreal looking machine
6:47 look at that face! >:O
haha
His tooth !! hahah !
lobniklukas. Hahahahahahahahah
finally a proper Chris Harris vid after the obligatory sales vids over the past few days :)
The jag looks like something Holden would sell. For...maybe 40k
Another great review, thanks.
the m6 looks the best but its looks like you're drifting a bus. it would be nice with a decent exhaust on it.
You need a eisenmann exhaust on it.
Tbf anything will be better than stock.
Kaipeternicolas i will :P
I love love love watching Chris Harris review cars, Best car show host ever!!
I'd take the XFR-S.
It doesn't take itself too seriously like the M6 and E63. (Just look at the spoiler and psychotic color.)
It's cheaper than the M6 and E63.
And most importantly. Saying "I own a Jaguar" sounds a lot more attractive, than saying "I own a Mercedes" or "I own a BMW".
You wouldn’t say ‘I own a Jaguar’ you’d say ‘I own a Jaaaaaag.’
Lewis McLoughlin Jag-Wahhhr.
Charles Ferguson nope, Jaguar is pronounced how it’s spelt.
Lewis McLoughlin .. And the sarcasm glides miles over your head. I know, I was playing fun at the accent.
When you own an M car or an AMG you dont say you own a BMW or a Mercedes. Your response is, "i drive an M6 or I drive an E63" end of story and that is very much attractive, try say you own an RS and i bet you everyone will be wondering, is it a corrolla or a nissan..
Another great video, thanks
From these cars BMW is heavier and has less HP than Mercedes but the winner is BMW because of it's optimally designed engines. BMW forever!!!
You forget that the BMW has a twin-clutch transmission, while the Merc still uses a wet-clutch which may sap more power than the Bimmer's transmission. Once Merc goes to a twin-clutch, it may see better 0-60 times.
These engines put out anywhere between 600-680bhp standard when on a dyno. Bmw underrated the factory numbers a fair bit.
Nice review as always from Chris
I had the pleasure of driving an M6 Coupe for about a month and let me tell you, those cars are so underrated its hilarious! I would actually say the BMW produces 600 horsepower at he fly. ///M
Damn you Harris! Your journalism is music to my ears!
E63 anyday!
because its slower and doesn't look as good and isn't as good to drive? makes sense
No because I like it and that's my opinion
trevor philips well actually the e63 4matic amg s they sell everywhere else exept uk is much faster than any bmw, plus it looks way fancier and the interior is much better. thats why.
trevor philips Says the biggest BMW fanboy, pathetic hahaha. Let people have opinions
trevor philips Well, that's because you hold onto you M&///Ms so tightly you can't see the AMG guys passing you ;)
Chris Harris is so mad he drifts so much he melts diffs! So good. Chris Harris is a hero.
4:47 that pilon?! :D
