- Edmunds senior writers Carlos Lago and Mark Takahashi test and compare the 2018 BMW M5 and the 2018 Mercedes-AMG E63 S. These two super sedans offer sports car athleticism from their 600-horsepower V8 engines and sharp handling, but they're also five-seat luxury sedans with large, usable trunks. While those attributes are exciting enough, both cars have advanced all-wheel-drive systems that bestow them with rapid acceleration. But when you want to show off, you can switch them to rear-wheel drive for unending displays of tire-shredding goodness. What's the best way to compare these two? A drag race and a show of sideways fun.
Q: What kind of engine and transmission do the 2018 BMW M5 and the 2018 Mercedes-AMG E63 S have?
A: The M5 has a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 (600 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque) and an eight-speed automatic. The E63 S uses a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 (603 hp and 627 lb-ft of torque) and a nine-speed automatic.
Q: How much does the 2018 BMW M5 and 2018 Mercedes-AMG E63 S cost?
A: The M5 starts at $104,595, including destination and gas-guzzler tax, while the E63 begins at $105,395, including destination. (It does not get a gas-guzzler tax.) Both vehicles in this video had a few options, such as carbon-ceramic brakes. The BMW came outfitted with 20-inch wheels and the Executive package, which added amenities such as ventilated and massaging seats. Its as-tested price was $129,795. The Mercedes included bucket-style seats with heating and ventilation, and it totaled $135,780.
Q: How fast are the 2018 BMW M5 and the 2018 Mercedes-AMG E63 S?
A: When it comes to acceleration, the difference between the two comes down to a difference that's so small that it disappears with rounding. During testing, the M5 reached 60 mph in 3.2 seconds (3.0 seconds with a 1-foot rollout, as on a drag strip) and clocked a quarter-mile time of 11.1 seconds at 126.2 mph. The E63 S passed 60 mph in 3.2 seconds (3.0 seconds with a 1-foot rollout, as on a drag strip) and passed the quarter-mile in 11.1 seconds at 124.1 mph.

This 2 cars aren’t rivals, they are just brothers from another mothers ❤️
well said
Eugen N i like this comment
Tell that to the sales departments.
Nope they have same mother (Germany) but fathers are different
Mother in the sense. Are these divided from one brand and came as different brands ?
Filling the void of Motortrend; very nice.
couldn't agree more
Edmunds Inside line was making the best car videos on UA-cam before Motor trend went big. Then they shut down the channel due to some stupid corporate merger or something. It's good to see them producing quality content for car enthusiasts once again, albeit on a different channel, in a different format and with a completely different team of people.
AoshichanX # Motor Trend ? What's that??? RIP
Motor Trend were dead against BMW.
AMG E63S FOR EVER.
its dead the M5 COMP DESTROYED it.. what is e63s?
@@drdj69 destroyed it in launch speed and handling that's it, the m5 will never provide the sensation like the sound as good as the e63
@@drdj69 stick with your fake engine noise bud that's all you'll ever get with a BMW
@@jcheezy5199 mmmmm says the guy that likes the brand that plays fake engine sounds through the speakers. (bmw that is)
BMW
BMW is back baby!
m5 comp is killing it
Here for Carlos, this guy does the most informed un biased reviews on cars 🙌🏾
Cool vid, glad to see the two of you working together, both excellent at what you do.
Carlos, glad to see you're back making great vids!
Carlos Lago literally brought this Channel to life. This is the old Motortrend. The new Motortrend is horrible. Jason should join this show too.
Finally!!! Thanks Edmunds for actually dragging these two competitors when others wouldn't.
This channel deserves a lot more subs. Thanks for the free awesome content!!
Two awesome cars and two awesome hosts, Solid review !!
You two did awesomemin this video. Got me to smile with the "fun" button
I haven't seen a video with you guys in it before, but the quick skimming I did on this, I laughed quite a bit! You guys are great together for this stuff *Cheers
BMW 💪

I love them both
Now that's a review that no one's done before. Thumbs up!
I’ll take the BMW anyday.

Why u r everywhere?
@@mdalamgirhussain7917 I know he is everywhere its a nightmare.
Excellent review guys!
Wonderful to see you guys have fun! Brings life to the video. Quite a departure from the usual staid stuff that Edmunds usually churns out. Kind of like what MT videos used to be at their peak...before their greed and poor talent management fueled kamikaze.
It is so good to see ya, Carlos. Keep up the good work. Luv the M5, btw... 🚙
Two of the best cars on the road today this is a great video and like the commentators it comes down to personal likes and dislikes but for me I’m a BMW M5 fan as that is my daily beater.
Great job guys.
Happy to see Carlos here!
Great video, great cars, great presenters!
I clearly choose M5👍
I would love to see bootleg Adam Sandler and Carlos team up
Go Edmunds!! - the video I wanted to see!!! And way better on this channel. More please?
Great video guys ! Keep it up and you will get more subscribers
3.17 sec to 60? What's next? Competition Pack 3 sec flat? Those are crazy numbers !
Keep it up Carlos !
Finally equal comparison!
Jay Scott haha only ever an equal comparison when the m car wins. Hilarious!
Carlos!!!!
Great to see You!
This is the new Motortrend! Thanks Edmunds 😄
The Best Or Nothing ! 💪
Stronger than Time ! 💪
MERCEDES 👑
So this is where Carlos went. Love this guy
GREAT VIDEO 👍
NO BULLSHIT.. GOOD WORK GUYS !!
True car guys will know both cars are beautiful creations and will appreciate the technology and ingenuity that goes into these machines.
Just subscribed Carlo's fan !!!!
Subscribed!
good review. but something was left out,the capacity of both cars,the E63s is a 4.0l and the M5 4.4l. that means their power delivery, despite power and torque ratings mean their delivery is slightly different in certain parts of the rev range.
another thing ive noticed is that(watched a ton of reviews between the two(coming to the comp M5,not there yet!!!),it is literally 50/50 as far as drags are concerned,half of the reviews show the E63 quicker than the M5,the other half,vice verse. after all ive watched,id say it was a tie(including illegal races).
the comp M5,yes it is quicker in almost every vid ive seen,bar three(more where the comp takes it). yipee for BMW fans.
drive: most reviews say the same thing,M5 better for comfortable daily driving,BUT,when it comes to emotional driving,most have said that the E63s,is more fun,steering more precise and most importantly,the engine noise from the engine inside the car(and outside) is pure engine. no fake channeled engine sounds via speakers or whatever they add to make it sound real inside the car. that is when i lost respect for BMW,the " ultimate drivers car" is now an ultimate farce!!!! if you a true BMW FAN,IM SURE YOU WOULD AGREE.....
i am an AMG fan,BUT(PLEASE READ THIS) BUT LOVE THE BMW TOO. BOTH ARE GREAT CARS,MAKE NO MISTAKE!!!! where BMW beats the Benz,in one area,it looses in another and vice verse,FACT. what we can be greatfull of is that these cars exist,before the full or more hybrid era takes over. hope you all can see this is a fully unbiased opinion from an AMG NUTTER!!!!! YES ID STILL GO FOR THE E63,BUT WOULD HAVE EITHER CAR,ANY DAY IN MY GARAGE WITHOUT ANY HASSLES.
Imagine when the M5 Competition comes out! The Car game is over!! Merc going to have to bring out a E63s squared to beat it haha
Whoever makes it last makes the fastest car
Finally good channel about cars..
Where is that low friction circuit located? Can I drive there and how much do they charge?
the best test of these machines
Fun video ;-)
the more I watched this the more I realized this was filmed at the Porsche Experience Center in LA.. right? I took out a 991 GTS, GT3 and Turbo on a low-friction circuit that looks identical to this as well as the "off road" background. Pretty fun experience and you guys make it look fairly easy! I did NOT have this down by the time I was done. Too bad you didn't do a lap comparison on the track there (although that circuit is defintel suited more for a cayman/boxster while the higher power 911s really would prefer some more room to stretch their legs)… regardless, fun episode! I love the E63 but I always come back to BMW.
Both are excellent cars....excellent brands....final choice is pure personal preference.
cant wait for the competition pack..
Great video! But can you lower the music's volume pls? It's way too high compared to the other parts in the video
Much better. Thanks for Contra.
Two both great cars I would be happy with any of them
loan me one of your cars bro lol
Great job. Keep Carlos forever.
I've never seen a track like the one you guys were drifting on before. Very strange but in a good way. Looked like the cars were gliding on glass at 10 mph
What road surface is that
They´re both outstanding cars and should I ever be able to afford either one they´re definitely on my list... BTW, its up up down down left right a b select start.
What is that color called on the Merc?
Carlos review for the M5 F10 on motor trend was legendary
Thumbs up if you think he should make one for the new M5
Carlos!!! Is that you!!?? Finally!!
Anybody know where this was filmed?
That M5 is fast people question test for the M5 doing 2.8 but this vid recorded 2.9 the M5 could be possible for 2.7 imagine the competition pack
Good video guys. Next time balance the audio though; when it went from speech to music, my ears kept getting destroyed.
M5 💪
What's with the volume difference between talking/music?
Nice video but u guys made it even harder to pick one car out of these two 👍
I love you guys 😁
I just cannot make up my mind about these two.
I think I just about prefer the interior of the Merc, and the sound too.
They are basically the same speed, so that’s not an issue.
The hifi upgrade too - is INSANE. I’ve heard that, it sounds unreal.
But the ride comfort and the looks of the Beemer are factors to consider too.
And the fact that Mercedes do an estate - or wagon - might tip the balance too.
Probably would ultimately go for the Mercedes.
Fortunately I’ll never have the money to buy either, so my problem’s sorted for me. 😂
whats the background music name? at 2:26
I'd love to see both of these in my Driveway... damn I'll fell like a King or Evil Dictator
Carlos YOU ROCK!
i would like to know what kind of tyres they used. as far as i'm aware when these 2 were dragged on the same tyres the merc always won.....
The bmw beats the merc only on track gripy roads because it's tires are more suitable for that area.
but the merc is faster in normal dusty roads.hoewever the Performance are the same...
what is roll out at 348?
Boss vs boss great video
The new M5 is nice
nice and boring
Taurus Viking M5 is Nice and Smooth your boring
dont be jealous. whatever your name is lollll
Taurus Viking: You're the one that's jealous I like the M5
you like these nuts
"... M5 and all of its competition"
Killed it!
These two cars are so equally matched. It's always a toss up. However, I have seen more wins for the M5. If the AMG lost some weight it would come out on top, but any sedan hitting 2.9 zero-60 and 11 flat for 1/4 mile is wicked fast. I'd chose the mighty E63 S 4Matic+ over the M5 any day
They're both great cars
at the end personal taste decides wich is for you, i go for the M but im a BMW Fanboy and i understand everyone who choose the AMG
carlos, is the best.
BMW ! ! ! 💙
I think these cars are so close its more down to the buyers taste more then anything, yes the M is better built, faster, and maybe faster on track, but the diffrence is so small so I think its taste of the buyer this time
for a minutr there i thought i was gonna see a hot lap of this two at streets of willow... why o why didnt u guys do that! why is iy motor trend is the only o e that takes the performance aspect seriously? come.on carlos i knoooww you have pushed for some kind of hot lap, keep pushing them! i refuse to pay MT for their videos, am sure am not the only one, i know you guys would have so many mote subscribers...
Motortrend became too much personality and exaggeration, stay true boys. Keep it up.
I totally agree. I couldn’t stand Jonny and Fake Sandler. These guys are great.

BMW really makes you work for that launch control, I doubt the average owner will use it a lot.
The launch control in the BMW de-activates after 10 seconds. But, as professionals, you already know this.
It’s funny that probably 98% of all the hate comments, either side, are from people who don’t own and have never driven either car
I hope someone cracks M5 ECU. Power gains will be massive (I think)
They're both turbo V8s. Power gains on either one of them will be pretty good with a tune.
Dinan is on its way to give the new M5 700 hp.
Parker at Vehicle Virgins has his E63s tuned to 750hp.
BMW has made it clear that the M5 is unbeatable
M5
Great video but no track race?
First?
Oh it's Carlos and Mark as well, nice.
idk why that drifting with the E63s was so satisfying
Very close!
Contra reference FTW!!
The Contra comments made me sub. left right left right b a select start ;)
RS6 needs to come to the states
