    I have an 2014 ML63 with Weistec ECU and TCU tune. Also deleted the resonator. It's a beast.

    The reason for the “slow gearbox” effect is because on manual mode you stepped off the gas pedal so the gearbox got confused.. keep flooring it in manual mode and shifts will become faster and more aggressive.

    • @SergCarReviews
      @SergCarReviews  8 місяців тому +2

      Hey mate! So I did do that before and it was just bouncing off the limiter. The gear changes were quick I just found the response from the shifters very slow, it was rather strange! Thank you so much for watching 😄😄😄

    X5 and ml transmission are completely different. X5 it’s more superior in gearbox. Even in day to day x5 the shifts are more instant and comfortable. The ml takes forever to downshift or upshift

      Great vide, yip I have one of these cars, that transmission takes some getting used to, its not a DCT but instead the 7speed Gtronic with torque converter. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_7G-Tronic_transmission?wprov=sfti1

      And its so strange you're the second person to comment that but from all the research I've done shows its a DCT. Either way, it is slow compared to any standard 😂😂

    If this AMG is the same model year as the X5M, then the BMW is better - all around. 👍

    • @SergCarReviews

      Probably one I would disagree with all in because of ride comfort! The Mercedes is so much nicer to drive. 😊

    • @siamoon8257
      @siamoon8257 Рік тому +2

      I tested a x5m and X6M. The ML63AMG is more comfortable ride in my opinion. However, the BMW I listed are more track focus.
      I haven't had the opportunity to test drive a GTS.
