It’s time for an estate showdown!
We’ve got our hands on the BMW M3 Touring, and it’s facing off against one of the most powerful estates ever - the Mercedes-AMG E63 S Estate!
So let’s see how the two compare. Starting with the BMW, it’s powered by a 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six that can deliver 510hp and 650Nm of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and it tips the scales at 1,865kg. If you’re looking to buy one of these, it’ll set you back at least £88,000.
Then we have the AMG. It’s packing a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 under the bonnet, and this can produce 612hp and 850Nm. It rolls up equipped with a 9-speed automatic gearbox to send power to all four wheels, and it’s the heavier of the two cars, weighing in at 1,940kg. Back when this was released in 2019, it would cost you around £110,000.
So could the newer BMW snatch it, even with less power?! There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

PLEASE do C63 VS. M3 😫
I’m not sure about that
Ok 👌

How old are yo mat
OG's remember when the E63 came out and carwow was still relatively new and it was one of the quickest cars
Fr bro😊
Yesss… I remember those days back in 2018 😢
@@meladgul😂😂😂ffs that was just weeks ago . 2018 😂😂I remember when subarus were potentially going to be traffic cop cars like it was yesterday. That was 99/2000
do you remember the time when the e63 was a desirable car? me neither
I remember when CarWow didn't do drag races...
I will be back soon! Miss drag racing and reading all your comments. My back is now ok so I’m ready to return! 💨
Hey Yianni!
Can't wait for the return Yianni!💪🔥
Take care Yianni, we miss you and want to see you back.
We miss you, Yianni. Racing driver Sam is solid,, but you are a beast. No idea what's under the bonnet, but still the fastest (well sometimes)
We miss you yanni can’t wait to see you soon
There's nothing not to love about practical, super-fast everyday estates. Absolute best of both worlds.
Same, always preferred to whatever suv thing the manufacturer is trying sell
I'd like to see if you say the same when you have to go to the gas station twice or three times more than a regular estate for the same amount of kms...
@@module79l28i mean if you can afford a 90k car, you dont care about spending 150-200 bucks more a month for petrol
@module79l28 that's what I'm thinking about when I buy a 4.0 V8 twin turbo......... MPG 😏
@@possle wonder what the insurance is
Crazy to think the E63S is 5 years old, time flies.
More like 7+ years. This particular engine was not changed since 2017.
@@653477youre right dude 👍
"What's your excuse that time?!
- I didn't jump."
Oooh, that must have hurt.
Remember in 2017 when the E63 came out it was in almost all the carwow drag races.
I also remember the time it went to track..it was the ultimate estate on the track
i remember when the Tesla beat it
@@lemcakes32422 I remember when your dad beat you :)
2017 E63 has 7bhp more than 2022 E63.
@@purwantiallan5089what really? How come?
also the “anticipated start” is why matt generally takes a lead. Run it on lights
100%. It's never fair for guest drivers bc of that (though some do truly suck😅)
They should use timing gear.
Exactly!
What is "Anticipated Starts" btw?
That’s when you let go off the brake pedal or step on the gas to make your car move before actually first visualising the “GO” procedure. This is usually done to eradicate as much a delay between a cars initial movement and drivers engagement of power off procedure. That delay obviously varies from car to car and that’s why the merc ended up winning the drag races because sam factored in the delay time by setting off just before “GO” hand signals.
That E63s looks really classy with those silver wheels and chrome accents! Like the older E-class AMGs!
It’s better than the facelift isn’t it! It’s one of my favourite cars. Just a shame the one in the video was post OPF. They sound amazing with a bit of an exhaust job
Sam needs to become a permanent member on here, chemistry between Mat and Sam is magical!
He is lol, he works for Carwow
A set of lights needs to a permanent member on here. Mat jumps more than a frog on ching
My guy he has been in Car Wow since the very beginning 😂. He was almost always the third driver when Yianni and Matt raced. Nick and Rory are also OGs
You forgot about Yianni
Incredible how Sam managed to master the delay/start issue in juste 2 runs 👏👏👏
He's the real deal. No tricks all skillz
Matt is a habitual jumper. Lights needed for sure!
huiopkl
😭😭
the jumping he did against that Chris bloke on the 1000bhp M3 vs M1000rr was outrageous. Honestly go watch that and watch the after-edit camera zoom trickery they had to pull in order to even air that. He basically jumped him in the rolling races by about an 8th mile. Its disgusting levels of jumping and he had the brass neck to sit in that car and act like he won. I went over to the Chris guys channel and watched their footage and on one race Mat is basically holding up three fingers on the countdown and flooring it on the three😂 One look at the comments on there and the bikers all telling them not to race Mat again unless its at a drag strip or lighted event.
Dragy on every car.
My dad has a 2018 e63 and it's honestly the best daily ever. Super practical with a MASSIVE boot. Comfy as hell but still corners beautifully and the suspension stiffens up nicely in sports + mode. And then obviously the power is brain melting. I want my own one day.
You have a cool dad!
@@RS-jb1lf couldn't agree more
nice showcase of how a good 4wd system works. At first it allows the rear to step out(helps with steering) a bit and when the front axle finally kicks in, it pulls ya straight again. Perfect
This video is so nostalgic, it brings back so many memories!
#Facts
Jesus Matt - i've been dying to see this! Also the M3 Comp vs C63S Hybrid nonesense
Everyone wants that race
MB is not willing to let c63 hybrid-nonsense to be heavily tested, drag race maybe but any tracking when one will conclude it's an overweight cow is a no-no.
@@Don-pk2uy I think Mercedes is hiding that car lol
I'd like to see that and see the bmw win
the c63 would win bcoz of those massive horses, though it does not change the fact that c63 is a letdown for sure ):

Its crazy how rs6 and e63 are now racing m3 instead of m5
Not a new one though
Wow I didn't even realize that lol it's supposed to be the c63 😂
@@emmakeuken7436 yes i know, but still, jts a 3 series.. imagine the m5
M3 comp has the same straight line performance of the m5 😂
Almost 6 years gap beamers fan, regardless M3 was surposed to be at advantage
Personally I think that shape Merc is one of the prettiest estates ever built .
It's so good that Merc didn't change it. The new 2024 model has almost exactly the same shape. Besides the bumpers and rear lights you really have to look to make them apart. The estate is much better looking than the sedan.
Horrible
Throwback to when the E63 first dropped, and it felt like the ultimate game-changer in the world of superfast estates. 🚗💨 It's fascinating to see how it's remained a benchmark even as the competition heats up. What do you guys think sets the E63 apart from its rivals?
The German car won!
Don’t spoil it.
😮
Mate, just ruined the surprise 😞
No way
To be honest, both are German.
That E63 looks so good in that spec.👌
Aruru Otsuki also love the E63 due to how luxury the car is like the 1994 XJ220.
bmw looks way better
I think it's because of the "grandpa spec" wheels. Everyone chooses the multispoke hardcore wheels

@@heinman6250 I believe it. Great engine and car!
That's actually the version of the previous E-Class I like the most (the front was better before the facelift...and way better than the new one imo).
I still wonder: what if BMW made a "CS" version of that Touring 🤔
The Facelift M3s are getting 20HP bump. A special M3 Touring version will also be released after the M2 CS and M4 CS.
There actually is a M3 CS Touring coming soon.
@@richardlabejaM2 CS and M4 CS imo have around 500bhp.
@@matmul4850M3 CS touring i belive gonna handle as nimble as 1978 Firebird Trans Am.
Only mercs I like is the E class, it’s a blend of luxury family performance rolled in one. Perfect car that Mercedes made. I agree I don’t like them after this model.
I love fast station wagons such as these two!
Station wagon is such a drab name
@@louis-yt6595 it is indeed. I could’ve also called it Kombi as we call it here in Germany
@@louis-yt6595LEXUS GS300, Lincoln LS, and Soarer are both Station wagon typed cars.
More like a CROSSOVER.
@@purwantiallan5089None of those cars are station wagon styled. Learn the term before trying to make comparisons
Matt jumps consistently 😅 his car moves before the hand goes down.a light would be better. Other than that i love the cars and races.btw bring jamie back on 🤙
no
Matt Watson always nailed those jump starts like Pastor Maldonado.😅
@@xmx1520 yes
The whole point of the hands and count down is that the drivers are supposed to be able to time their start rather than react to it. It’s the best way to take the driver’s reaction time out of it and focus more on the car’s performance. I agree it’s still not perfect as Matt is very good at timing the start (so is Sam actually, as he explained here it’s the inherent Mercedes launch delay that was making his job more difficult here) so he often gets an advantage over other drivers, but that’s their fault, not his, and the solution isn’t to go to a more random lights system like F1 because that would become even more a test of driver reaction times and even less about the cars.
@@davidburke2132One driver having an advantage over another makes this report you wrote moot completely. Random light is better hence why F1 uses it to begin with you literally contradicted yourself.
Day 5325 of asking CarWow to put a bloody start light so Mat doesn't jump the start for the 732523 time.
NO WAY, Mat finally playing fair and giving and objective comparison between two cars
Always looking forward to this on Saturday
Or even in Sunday Night.
The merc is the class above. I know the 5 series don’t have an estate but that’s the car that sud be racing the merc. Just shows how good BMW has become. Best brand about for me.
Wait until you google “M5 wagon”
You think this is a win for bmw? This e class is a decade old😂 if i just paid 80k for a brand new M3 and i still get gapped by a 2016/7 E63s that pablo just bought off the lot for 50k with 70k miles i wouldnt call it a win.
G61 just came out. There will be a M5 Touring with the powertrain of the XM. Good luck beating that
@@MarlonAllen-dy9yv Just another bmw fan "giving credit" for a loss once again.

I agree but I see other people have reviewed the car just would be nice to see carwow drag race. Carwow has so many followers compared to other channels that doesn't, thought carwow would atleast get it sooner
but barely anyone bought the car, ive personally never seen one in person, and theres so many w205' C63s and luxury cars overall in my area@@kieronmoodley7526
We don't want to see it no
Is it not a jump when he launches before the arms go down? :)
Its not a jump if mat does it.
M3 is nice. But the E63 being better sounding, bigger (which is a major thing) and a nicer interior takes it for me.
Ye m3 comp is for short road trips. Mercedes is good for everything
the merc interior is shxt. toch things and they will feel cheap and creak, its just show and shine bs
Great video, and Sam is absolutely legend launching that merc on point with all those delays 👌👌👌
Great vid. As a E63s stage 2 tuned owner I just had to comment. Firstly it had to be in race ESP fully off & most importantly Manual mode to engage drift… secondly I have a saloon and 1/3 of tank of fuel mine actually weighed 2050kg and it’s decat so clawed some weight back there. So merc tell fibs on the weight always more than claim & BM tell fibs on the power and weight more power and lighter. Love that g80 it’s the only car id swap to from mine. Good vid
on an older dynojet machine BMW make about 3-5hp less than claimed. Its just the purple @Ki tuner garages have the dyno set to overread massively.
It's called drift mode. It's crazy that the wagon is faster than the saloon and coupe
The race we've all been waiting for
5th
No
Yes @@sticc3978
I think the rolling races should be in the best suitable gear for the speed in each car, instead of the same gear due to different gearing
Digging the Fugees reference. Well played Matt.
Roberta Flack...
Thats an interesting tactic, Matt Watson.😅
Please bring more races sooner. This one had us waiting for so long.
I would love to see Mat take a crack at both cars when it's just a two car race and see if he can extract more out of the other car. He's so good at the launch that when you have two cars so close it makes all the difference in the world. Plus it allows him bragging rights over the other drivers!
Man...this E63S looks stunning and luxurios at the same time.
Everything wagon from mercedes is pure beauty 😍
The thumbnail looks awesome 🤩
Matt, you have to get Rx glasses with Transitions XTRActive. Having to change between Rx glasses and Rx glasses is a chore and at this time of day where it's hard to decipher which one to switch to makes it worse. XTRActives tint even inside the car and I never find myself in any kind of light where there isn't the right amount of tint.
To enable the E 63S drift mode: go to Race mode - manual mode - esc off - hold both paddle shifters - then engage drift mode. Miss one step and it will be "unavailable".
That E63 has aftermarket 21s btw so the stock 20s would likely launch better
Stock 20’s not 21’s on it
WHEN C63 VS. M3??? 😫
Four cylinder man
@@GarvHira19I wished they kept the v8 for the AMG
They can fit the so called four cylinder in the base car but in the AMG they can fit the v8
That comment is gay af
The 63 is faster from 0 - 100 km/h
@@Sidi0702 than the M3 Competition yes. But the M3 CS is quicker than the C63 S.
That Mercedes is the only one that, when they make a station wagon, it looks like a hearse, is tough as hell
Something is widely wrong with this race. The m3 touring has never gotten an 11.6 quarter mile. That is the slowest time ive ever seen. In the wet vs the rs6 on this channel the m3 touring beat the rs6 and posted an 11.4 IN THE WET... Doesnt add up.. looks like the toruqe converter was misfiring on the m3..
Very tense race! Would love to see a race with the CLS 63 S in the future tho
I’m just in love with the v8 sounds from Mercedes engines. They’re truly unlike no other in their sound. U can just hear each piston fire and explode but insanely quick so it’s sounds perfect. 🥵
Why would you compare m3 to E63s instead of Rs4 or C63s ?
It is to show how the M3 can actually hold its own again the upper class segment... It certainly already destroys the Rs4 and C63
@@sammymaestro7642it destroys the RS4, certainly not the new C63s
@@Marvin-vj4ibu mean that hybrid 4 cylinder electric nonsense?
Nope, certainly destroys it. Guess @carwow would have to settle this for us then
They are comparing different generations as well, the M3 is more modern, take that into consideration.

Great work!
how about some races of non similar cars! Dad vs son, for example: GTI vs 530i/540d
I absolutely love those kind of drag races, so blooming close, and gotta love those cars, I love it ^^
This just shows how mental the M5/cs is, I mean the m3 is now ahead of its direct competitors it's not only playing with m5 direct competitors but it's holding its own in that segment as well. BMWs are dominating its a shame mercedes has done away with the v8 on most cars
Okay but this is a new m3 against an old e63. The new m3 has 4 wheel drive just like the old e63. Thats why a race against the old c63 against this m3 would work and I guess they can’t get their hand on a new hybrid c63 to race
Amg gt four door wastes the m5 on the Nurburgring

@@brianaluwani7642 old car or not, the car has way more torque and power unless what you are saying is that the year the car was made affects performance and not the engine figures😂

Great drag race with the two daddies, love them both. By the way, nice IWC Top Gun Matthew!
Finally true real cars racing. No electric soundless funless garbage

Great chemistry you both have!
Given how big BMW's have become this comparison makes sense.
The M3 is way smaller than the E63. It isn't small. And you need to compare it to the C63.
The Merc looks so much better. Elegant and understated.
He always jumps the start
Your are the best and congratulations for the fair tests!!!!Great work for all of the team of CarWow!!!!!🤟🏻🤙🏻👍🏻
Great drag race. If you could do this with more common cars like Octavia or Focus with ordinary engines, that would be great.

Can we just appreciate Mats energy in these videos, keep it up👏
Love their sound crossing the line! Predictable result but entertaining enough🍺 🍺
3:58 E63 didnt have a delay Matt just went .5 of a sec sooner.
The E63 is a beast! E63 all day, that is one of the best cars Mercedes have made in a long time, that shape is better then the new E class too imo. For the non AMG model it’s the E400d putting out 330hp and 700nm, with a tune that thing would be insane 🤯
Thank you for your simplicity and humor, I had another good time
If Matt can time the arm drop instead of actually waiting for the arms to start moving, then Sam can use the shift paddles.
Once again, a slew of people who came here only to complain about Mat jumping.
He did not. His reaction is just that much better.
And all those who complain about jumping in every single video - you are just trolling.
But that may be ok - it helps with ratings
7:20 You can even see the delay of the Merc at launch, it´s insane
Yh the delay is bad, you get use to it over time. Literally what Sam said you let off early and you will both launch at the same time 🚀
love estate cars. Especially fast German one can't decide which one I prefer look of tough choice .❤😊
Many saying this wasn’t a fair race.
1. Both similar weight
2. Both AWD
3. M3 is newish and has almost new engine, rubbing gear and brakes and tyres. E63s is old and may have big miles, loss to horsepower, older running gear and brakes and tyres.
The M5 is saloon only so it was good to see an estate vs estate.
Both amazing cars but the E63s is just the better one for me.
merc is real beauty...nice test guys
Matt sighing because of the 87k starting price of the m3, I live in France and since this year there are more taxes on new cars, just as an example the Toyota Yaris gr automatic starting price is 110k Euro's or 94k!!!! GBP, the world's gone mad
Wow 😮
Matts expressions in the 3rd Drag race was soo funny 😂😂😂
It is embarrassing how a 2023 BMW M3 cannot keep up with it Merc 2019 competition.
Hey Matt.! Great Videos by the way...
When will you be racing one of Audi's ABT sports lines?
A BMW with 600 hp, will beat MB with 600 hp and similar weight.
Even if you have to confirm on the dyno that they are both making the same horsepower.
BMWs just launch better and have better transmission tuning
Not that my opinion matters much but the "Buy, Sell, Car-Wow" is missing in my humble opinion! Please bring it back, it made me know I was in the right place, other than you Matt lol....
Thanks for the other camera angle while you was drifting at 1s.t Thanks matt.
I can't imagine life without Carwow🤣. Great episode !
