      I just love you reviews both from a content and format standpoint- they’re super informative and also super entertaining. As a died-in-the-wool Honda/Acura owner who’s roots are all Caddy (my parents had Caddys and I learned to drive in them), I would absolutely love to see you do a head to head review (like the one above) between the Acura TLX Type S and the CT5V (non-Blackwing). I have driven both numerous times and I’m torn on which one to purchase. They are so very similar in many ways yet also so very different. Your insights would be fascinating and I’ll bet there are others who might find this an interesting comparison too. Thanks for your wonderful reviews!

    Awesome cars. Really, really good review, as always. Context for my comment: I've driven both, and as the owner of a GT3, I realize this is a really a driving review, not an overall. These cars aren't competitors. The BMW is a 1-car, daily driver, and SpaceX backup rocket. Commuting? Really want a manual? AWD? Don't say there's no snow in SoCal. You would have slid right into the front door of the Norton Simon a couple months ago. Tech? No way you find Wild Oats with the Caddy's nav. I applaud how the Caddy drives. Great engine. Whereas BMW sandbags on power and specs, GM always exaggerates. The Caddy looks great and truly captures the spirit of the Cien (god bless Ewan McGregor), the template for the current Cadillac Designsprache. After having driven both for long stints, the Caddy conundrum asserts: I have to live in my car--that commute I talked about. I know Caddy pulls from the GM parts bin, but they also make the Escalade. The Caddy's infotainment system and screen pull right from a 2010 BMW 1-Series. At $100K+, this is not your second car. It's your daily. Caddy should have redesigned the dash, and spent some of that much-talked-about savings on making the interior befitting of a $100K car. You commute and errand-drive 90% of the time, canyon carve 10%, but live with the interior 100% of the time.

(Yes, you do see a couple here and there when the roads clear up but certainly not in a blizzard!) So which would I choose? I really really hate to say it... But I think I would go with the M5. 😣

    BMW M5 Comp all day long. Three reasons. First, its German engineered and built in German by Germans. They are fanatics about precision. Not so in an American auto union factory. Second, its awd....simply safer and practically unbeatable from a dig on a real normal street vs rwd. Third, its more like 700hp crank, 617 more likely to the wheels. Yes, its more expensive...but its way more car and way better engineering.

    The Caddy is my choice - just because it can be gotten (Words Wednesday!!) as a manual. Unfortunately, BMW, still being one of the long-term proponents of the manual gearbox, for some reason stopped offering manual boxes combined with all wheel drive (xDrive) starting with the end of E6x generation (the next gen after that - my car - F11 - is impossible with AWD and a manual - but an E60/61 - still was). Speaking of AWD and manuals - also audi is culpable of this same sin - it stopped offering/manufacturing manuals with quattro starting from relatively the same generation (C7) - while in the previous version - C6 - quattro with a manual was still possible, so in line with the BMW 5 series of the same era. Weird how that works. The newer era (C7) was still possible with FWD and a manual. As for Merc - it stopped offering a manual with LARGE DIESELS (ie, 2.7/3 litre) already in the W211 generation (starting 2002) - and I'm not sure if you could still get a smaller 4cyl 2litre diesel - and 4matic - and a manual (you still could get a manual - for a very long time, even in the W212 generation incl. its facelift - with smaller engines, like the E250 CDI, edited: with RWD only). This manual sidenote aside (wow..... words) - the Caddy I suppose would be more reliable long-term - like really long term, probably 10 years or so. For BMW it will always be leaky vacuum and oil lines, bad electrical cabling, masses of errors and resetting them. The bimmer still looks better (which is a rare exception - rather than a rule - if you talk about modern BMW, by the way - the (expectedly) horrific-looking insect-eyed new 5-series is to officially debut tomorrow - May 24, 2023), but the Caddy doesn't look bad, either. Either way - thanks for the video, good choice for the Detroit's Finest - writing from the glorious country of Latvia.

I do agree the driving experience is important, absolutely important. The manual in the BWs are popular because manuals are rare, remember the V2, when the manual was readily available, people did not select that option relative to the automatics. Again they may hold their value well, but is it because of the actual product or the scarcity? The BWs are the least bold V series models to date, in reality there is no reason these vehicles should be called BWs, nor are the current V badges represented well…

    As many have said, both fantastic cars and can’t go wrong with either. They go about doing their jobs differently! One is a German Engineered clinical hammer with scalpel precision, and the other is a brash no excuses communicative muscle car that happens to do everything pretty darn well!
    We chose the M5!
    The Caddy interior is a little cheap feeling to me and not so special, and it’s styling will likely be dated in a few years, but it is the last of the great muscle cars! We found the back seat to be pretty unusable for an average sized adult, the M5 is bigger and better for rear passengers.
    The M5 is next level in every way other than steering feedback, which many say is linear and somewhat vague! Experts say that engine horsepower for what the car is able to do is likely in the mid 700s and they feel like it! I really enjoy the tech on the BMW! Between mode selection, 2WD, AWD, the IP/ heads up display, Driver Assit Pro drives the car without any driver intervention, the B&W Audio system is world class, Massaging seats, etc. The BMW is classier and will still be something to behold in 10 years from a styling point of view.
    While the CT5V starts under $100k you won’t find one for that and they are really priced pretty similarly. As such, I believe the M5 is the better car and buy.

    M5 comp all day even though the CT5 Blackwing is definitely an amazing car, it just doesn't keep up with the supercar performance of the M5 Comp, which is all wheel drive so 0-60, 0-100, quarter mile time is always gonna beat the CT5, and on the track it also takes the blackwing.
    Edit: the CT5 seems like the more fun and engaging car especially in stickshift, it also sounds better than the M5, it's definitely a tough choice but I still slightly lean towards the M5 just cause I feel like AWD is much more daily drivable and usable during bad weather conditions, and the extra tech amenities such as 3D view and climate control in the rear of the interior makes it feel a tiny bit more luxurious than the CT5

That second or so may not seem like much but it does feel quiet a bit quicker! What holds the ct5 back like Miles said is AWD! And actually the Mercedes E63S claims to do the 0-60 mph in 3 seconds. So that guy is also faster than the caddy. I imagine that guy also has an awd option so that’s the difference.
