The looks CLE53 wins in every angle , engine and the extra fun M4 is the winner! For me personally at the age of 45 will choose the CLE53, looks comfort and enough power for me.
Such a stunner of a car! Unless you want a V8, hard to pass this up over a top-range SL or any hypothetical CLE63 V8. That could just be my 6-cylinder bias though 😎
@@dervthebeast5130 clearly I fricking do since my own cousin drives an M4 xDrive. I’m highlighting the fact that people like you praise a simple BMW M as the holy grail of its league. Yeah it‘s faster, who would have thought at almost 100hp more. But also more expensive. And still speed ain’t everything. Performance wise the M4 sits above, but it’s fairly the same type of car as the CLE. So again to the another league argument..: they are still mainstream cars.
This is all dandy, but what use is any of this when Mercedes make it literally impossible to actually find, configure and buy a car. Their website is absolutely dreadful. I've just bought a M2, I really wanted an AMG but out of pure frustration and a bit of petulence I refused to go with Mercedes because of how difficult they make things on their site.
I turned on my computer. Did a search on availability. Found 5 cars with options and colours I wanted. A few emails sent to the dealerships and boom! deal done on a Monday and picked her up the following Saturday. She's a beautiful beast :o)
The air scarf operated electrically from the driver's seat is actually a big deal, not found on the SL which requires a manual installation of the rear deflector. It isn't so much the air turbulence mussing your hair that you want to attenuate as it is the stuff flying around a highway that might get into your eyes, small insects, road grit, and even just drying wind. BMW is sportier (quicker), while Mercedes has more luxury (and more torque than most drivers will ever use).
Looks good, sounds good. Not a fan of the new touchscreen only and touch sensitive controls but worth a test drive along with the M4. There is also the option to find a recent low mileage S63, C63 or E53 convertible.
We all have different taste... I was looking at both of these cars but I couldn't get passed the M4 beaver front bumper look... Mercedes knocked it of the park with this one! Very happy with my new coupe CLE 53. :o)
M4 all day long Actually M3 saloon all day long. But if i was going 2 door, it would still be M4 Not a fan of the interior, the quality is not M4 level from what ive seen in the CLE450
Very nice looking performance car. Love the new wheel choices, front & back looks great as well. I would hold off on buying it for a year or two to see if AMG will spoil the appeal of this car with the intro of a CLE43 four cylinder version looking identical to a CLE53. It’s what they have consistently done with other models. That will be a huge turn off again.
This because in Switzerland, brand new at the dealer, it is 20 grand cheaper on average. Since everybody has an M4, this is a nice alternative. Looks better in my opinion.
You car reviewers are so desensitised to speed it’s annoying. When is 0-100 in 3.7s not “knock your socks off” fast. Majority of people wouldn’t be able to handle a Polo GTI in 6.7s let’s be real. Anything under 6s from 0-100 is more than fast enough. And just 5 years ago, anything under 4s was supercar territory.
Yep, I totally agree. Way more performance than you can use on a public road. And let's face it, most of don't live near winding country roads, so you won't be using those silly paddles much.
I agree. My i4 M50 is slightly faster and it’s way more speed and power needed for 99% daily driving. That said, Benz drivers are different from BMW drivers (who value driving experience slightly over comfort/ luxury). Little preferential nuances. In reality you can’t go wrong with either depending on your preference.
I own a CLE53 and get zero pops and bangs even in sports +. Is this a European and not uk version as they appear to be nerfing the exhaust sound on the uk version?
@@havefun1226 I stand corrected. I meant M4 Competition xDrive Convertible (BTW since we're splitting hairs, BMW calls them convertibles not cabriolets 😃)
Shame about the info-screens on that car. The GLS looks like the screens came with the car as original equipment, integrated into the dash. The newer hyper-screens similarly are integrated into the dash, all the way across.. The CLE (and the S63 Roadster) looks like somebody's 10 year old glued them in from one or two of his toys. Really. So much into the engineering and interior design, sabotaged by very awkward screens! Mercedes does everything else right ... then the "stand alone tablet" and "sunshade look" for the info. Why? I wish Mercedes would read this and similar comments on the internet. I have not seen anyone complimenting those screens.
Modern ICE cars do not pollute in the traditional sense of the word. Too bad no one talks about this and allow some people in other countries to make arbitrary rules all so they can legally take more money out of your pockets.

CLE53 should be compatible with M440, but not M4.
The problem is the CLE53 is almost the price as the M4.
I agree with both of you
Mercedes pricing is nuts.
@@AndrewL31413giving you less but charging you more, giving you a C coupe but sending you the bill of an E coupe

I’ll stick with my m4 comp thx
M4 is in another league. This should compete with M440i
Another league 😂 chill it‘s still a 3 series coupe. Those 80hp don‘t make a Lamborghini out of it.
Its not an m4 competitor.
@@v12-s65 its way faster 3.7s to 60mph in this. M4 tests at 3.1s

This is gorgeous. I've always preferred Merc styling to BMW, generally.
Waiting for the 4.0 AMG. Should be fun. This body is so beautifully sculptured that it deserves at least those 585 PS...
Prepare to spend 125K
Such a beautiful car,can't wait for the cle 63
Finally great rims
I wonder does the headline banner say "this or the M4" because this will cost as much as an M4 without giving the performance of the M4 🤔

This whole video feels like an ad tbh
Well, he does refer to himself as "Mr. AMG", so can't be surprised with some bias here and there lol.
That painter & decorator from Audi using undercoat to come up with Nardeau Gray is a pure legend 😂
This doesn’t compare to the M4 . Don’t disrespect BMW like that
Yeah this isn’t ugly as hell, unlike the M4
@ You get it. MB makes Good looking cars that drive amazing with great engines, theyre number 1. Just look at the c63s perfection. FACT

looks amazing
Mercedes should cancel the SL this car is way better …. They should switch it out for the s coupe
M4 ❤

My grandmother loves hers
Ooh oh I really don't know you know Raz, unless it's the angle of the lens?
The engine is perfect not a slouch by any means.

You can use the car all year. I know people who own cars like Mercedes' talk that way. Like I would have a winter car & a summer car.

Why in all new cars - they put screens everywhere instead of keeping the sporty look with at least a cockpit around the digital dashboard?
M440i or this one?
What a beauty ❤
My opinion CLE53 AMG ..better car,quality,engine and more..if you compare with BMW M4…
I own a CLE53 and get zero pops and bangs even in sports +. Is this a European and not uk version as they appear to be nerfing the exhaust sound on the uk version?
The Mercedes looks much better than the beaver tooth M4 but the BMW way quicker/faster than this AMG light.
Hard disagree. The m4 convertible he recently drove was way more mean and aggresive looking then this. This just looks like an old man car.

M440
Still not getting a V8 for the CLE! Even for the "maybe 63"🤭

There is no m4 cs cab

Yes they will do the V8 after the failure of the C63. But be prepared for an astronomical price.

Beautiful Mercedes
Ok test the UK one and see if the engine has the same noise. EU review is pointless for us in the UK
Every Benz is now overpriced for what it delivers
Yea I just want a C63 or 55 version
M4 is way better than this🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
M4 anyday 😂
Μ4 for ever … faster more beautiful and physically BMW .. this car is nice but M4 is M4 bro …
More beautiful hahahahahaha M4 is one of the ugliest BMWs ever made
Interior looks cheaply built
Way over priced and doesn’t even compare to the M4 performance wise. Only thing it has over the M4 is looks, M440i would compare better.
Weak review. Car does not sound like this on outside. I have it. Video is lies.
They don’t listen. BMW gives you value for money. How can anyone buy this over an M4. Id rather have a base m4 over this any day.
Just because the M4 is so ugly. Neither is a great option really. No one is going to sit in the back of this. Just get a Z4
Prefer my passat
A45S is way quicker than that posh cab...
what an awful color
It’s an Audi colour.
Miles better looking than the bmw
