2012 BMW M5 vs Nissan GT-R: Driven & Drifted - /CHRIS HARRIS ON CARS 

You always know it's a Chris Harris review when the roads wet and Matt Farrah review when it's sunny and dry.lol!

Chris we want you back...sincerely, Everyone.

I can't begin to express how much I LOVE these videos. Chris Harris is by far the most brilliant of the vast galaxy of his kind. Of course no one comes close as he sets the bar....very hing indeed. I just can't get enough. Thank you Chris, very much indeed mate. Kev E28 M5, E28 Dinan owner for years.

they both can fit 4 people.. yeah right try and sit on the back seat of a gtr LMAO

I love the /Drive series over Top gear for a few reason. One of them is that when they do car comparisons they are not looking for a winner or a loser they share what is great about each car and let you decided which is better for your style of driving. Also, I rarely find any of these guys biased at all unlike Top Gear. Keep up the good work /Drive TV you guys are passionate about what you do and it shows.

Great review! I love how they are never truly compared because they make it obvious they are very different categories, but its a fun head to head and the review is pretty good on its own,

This is one of my favourite videos on the internet. My two favourite cars of this type, a great cinematic style and editor and the amazing Mr Harris

This is by far the best review i have seen and because of this i have the 2013 BMW M5 and love it, thanks Chris Harris ;)

'you gotta love M5's, no other car does that stuff' love that bit, such enjoyment by Chris Harris! :)

I would take both. A M5 first for everyday use and the GT-R for weekends on the track and dragracing.

One of my first comments on youtube. Chris Harris makes this video fun to watch. Good job. I feel like You're genuinely enjoying yourself, it's refreshing.

I love the GTR!!!!!!

Very good video. I couldn't choose! The BMW M5 is more comfortable and in the real world probably the best one (daily use considerd etc) but it's not as special as the GTR (every street has a 5series in it). I'm not sure how the GTR would hold up in everyday use, but it's a lot more special. You never see them in traffic here.

Keep up the good work Chris, you guys make great video.

god damn i love his reviews. so honest and so truthful, its unlike anything else you can watch

M5 is the one for me

The new Nissan gtr is one of thise understated cars, which is trying to compete with top rivals which have already established status among the super car world. This personally makes the Nissan (Datsun) more appealing in many different aspects which is may not be that obvious. I first saw a Nissan gtr back when I was travelling up and down the m3 to my place of work, the stance of the car is just so intimidating to all other road user, and from that point on I was truly convinced that this was a dark horse of the motoring world, you only have to read the technical stats of this car and you will have the Italians And Germans shaking in there boots. The thing that really struck me is how a company such as Nissan can sell such a wide range of cars but still manage to develop a car which will give you the performances of super car with the reliability and use ability to rival BMWs m range and Audi's quattro and RS ranges

i absolutely agree .... you really can listen to him the whole day and one can feel his love for cars in nearly every sentence.

this is the best summary of these cars i have seen!

My two favorite brands in this video. R35 is probably the only car of this nature I would own.

GT-R for the win

As always, Chris - bang on job. Keep it up!

Chris! You've done it again my man...great vid

He's a good driver. I'd love to be able to drift like that

he made me want a GT-R r35 so badly GTA

what a great review!! two amazing cars!!

Another brilliant review from Chirs :)

Everyone has a particular use for a car he wants. Want funas a youth, take a GT-R. Want comfort, speed and seem more responsible take an M5. For the difference in performance(GT-R) and difference in comfort+ status(M5), added to the fact that they have the same price, I'd rather say the M5 is the better car of these two.

Nice cars, but BMW needs to stop with the fake exhaust sound in their cars.

as always chris👍 regards from bahrain

One of the more enjoyable reviews of cars on RU-vid.

they're both pretty fucking great.

I would pick the M5, but still I think the M6 Gran Coupe is even cooler than the M5

extraordinary review chris!!

Chris loving your work, love the gtr and m5 but would love to see you review the old z3m coupe, I have one, I think they are great and would like your view, compared to a modern day equivalent... an older vs new type deal.

It's actually simple choice if you have children then pick the M5 and if you are a bachelor pick the GTR . The point is that these cars will never be in the same league ( GTR is a supercar or ultimate sport coupe while the M5 is a supersaloon ) think.like this GTR main rivals are Audi R8 and Porsche 911 Turbo while BMW M5 rivals are E63 AMG,Audi RS6,Porsche Panamera turbo and Jaguar XFR

GTR

if clarkson is the club, then chris harris is the scalpel. i appreciate both because of their different approach, but mostly i find it more informing to learn about the car, than to see how much paintball bullets it can take..great job harris, keep up the good work!

Beautiful! That's is passion.... Not an argument over which is better but ab appreciation of what they do best...

Nissan♡♥

I take the Nissan GTR.

i really like the way the ending of this video was done.

Chris Harris is one of the best reviewers ive seen :) also the ///M cars are the best!

nissan gt-r all the way it's just a brilliant cat! this car needs no words! The bmw is all so a very nice salon car!

gtr should be cheaper thn £70k or they should upgrade the interior something luxury

what should i do to buy these two cars?

Does anyone know what version of Ave Maria is playing in the ending scenes? I can't find this version anywhere.

Seriously why are these the two most googled cars. BMW, at least in the UK, is the top selling manufacturer, they sell more 3 series than ford mondeos over here. They have no exclusivity anymore, anyone on 30k a year has one. As for the the GTR, its a Nissan with a plastic interior and a very good launch control & 4WD system but if you're over the age of 30, you're going to look like an idiot driving one.

Relax. Take a deep breath. Stop complaining over which car is better for this or that reason. Realize that these cars were built to very different philosophies. One is a quietly styled executive super sedan straight from the factory. The other is a racing derived sports coupe with a vast tuning industry built behind it. I'll gladly take both of them.

Yep, Chris is like Fifth Gear, except not catastrophically boring, he tells you what you need to know, all the important stuff, and still is pretty entertaining. Jeremy is just like most of us, he gets put into a nice fast car, and has a hoon. Both are entertaining!

respecting the elements.. Good review mate!

BMW = V2 GTR = Cruise missile

Bimmer all day!

Chris harris is awesome , I enjoy watching his reviews.

Chris Harris is a very, very good driver, and you're some guy on youtube. well done.

m5 all day

Nissan was twin turboing cars long before bmw

Yes and I agree! My brother has a 2004 BMW 530i Manual Transmission that is used for $15,000 but it came in good condition, already installed Angel Eyes bulb, sports package and it was owned by a doctor so it is kept very well!

the BEST automotive reviewer!!!

Driving to work - M5 Driving with passion - GTR

The M5 is faster (not off the line obviously), more comfortable and it is 2 cars in one. It can be used daily, for shopping, fitting 4 people comfortably (even at high speeds), taking kids to school, going on long journeys. It can also be a MONSTER with the touch of a button. It's quick, fun, comfortable, sensible, handles well, performs well and that's why it's the car I would pick.

excellent work, thank you sir

At 8.17 Chris is putting the traction control in race mode, not switching the traction control off. It explains why at 9.12 he says he is fighting the systems while trying to drift. Other than that an excellent video.

this one looks exactly like every other BMW ever produced. Boring. Why can't they design something that looks different

GTR for me. BMW lost it's soul a long time ago

My dad has a 2013 m5, I'm getting my 2015 gtr in a couple of months, will be interesting to compare the 2

I'm so jealous of your car control Chris!

This is the ultimate video for fanboys. Anyone who claims one of these cars/brands is better than anything else is under the age of 20

*M5 all the way!*

Absolutely! I could listen to him review a sock, he's just that good.

i think he does a few lines of yayo before he films/drives eyes wide as shit crazy laughter wtth lots energy out of no where....think about it lmfao just playin LOVE the drive network and all your guys hard work TUNED is my favorite Keep the videos comin!

GTR fanboys are insanely immature.Sorry guys. I respect the GTR for what it is but why can't GTR fanboys look at both sides of the argument?

Great review...like all of the other reviews... Chris, u have the best job in the world, i say....keep it up

can we stop comparing bmw to super cars already... they will never make anything stock to be anything that the nissan is.. bmw can't count on throwing a million and one buttons with wood grain dashes and comfortable seats .. that is where it ends.. bmw's performance line today's standard is shit.. their all limited to 155 sop come on now let it go nissan no mater what won this comparision just by showing up

Amazing videos always seem ruined by the comments on RU-vid. This is a well made video looking at aspects of both in detail. Everyone has an opinion but at least have a good argument if ur going to call someone's opinion wrong and less of the foul language that always seems to follow on the internet. People annoy me these days.

chris harris makes the best reviews

not a bmw fan at all..but whats up with all the hate? at the end of the day your still driving a boosted Altima..crappy quality compared to the beemer's

lol GTR was a never a supercar....its a 4 seater saloon / sportcar !

Has to be the greatest car review ever!

Very good Review! I'll take the GTR every day in the week.

Chris Harris is clearly the next Top Gear guru..... and long may he live Chris, personally, I think you were brought into this world to review cars. One day we will read books about you

I'm glad you came to the right conclusion at the end.

8:19 the gearbox on the GTR was in Save, which isnt Race mode and the suspension was in Standard mode. The Traction control was in R mode which isnt the Off position.

i love the "drive safe" at the end

Chris Harris... I laugh with you, and when you laugh! So much fun!

my 2 favorite cars~!

very well put i agree

Best comparison on the whole internet. Fact. Big big laudation for Chris Harris for comparing both cars 100 % fair-minded . I saw so many videos for these cars and all of them where downright garbage. This on : Simpy perfect ! Thanks ! Greeting from germany.

Love how u expresses ur feeling towards the M5....saw ur E28 M5 review... U r really into the M5...but why not its a BLUE M5??!

this film is just brilliant.

Which ave maria is playing at the end ?

Chris Harris making the best autoreviews!

quite the strange comparison but all in all fantastic video

its matt black, and its a factory color offered by BMW for their latest models. there are also other standard colors(matt purple, matt blue.. etc) BMW is offering from 2013 i guess! if your are interested you can put matt black vinyl sticker to your car which costs around 2000 pounds depending on your car. its well worth money. i had it for my suv. just looks like real matt black paint!

can anyone please tell me what is the title of the song(sounds like a church song) at the last part of this video?

out of all the cars you drove/reviewed, which will you choose as a daily ? in another words which car has a good balance of everything from your power to the comfort ?

Chris Harris was a driver in the 2010 24hrs of Nurburgring race along with legendary Walter Rohrl, so i would say that he has more experience/knowledge than most

Lovely vid! What’s the song at the end? :)

I like both. I love the power of the gt-r. I love everything on the m5. The luxury, power, and handling is so balanced. Just such great engineering on both vehicles. I don't think they should be compared over another.

I love this review, because it's relatively objective and blatantly honest. There's constant comments online about certain cars having "no soul", and Chris hit the nail on the head with his affections for the GT-R, while pointing out its faults. Ditto the M5, loving it for its brutality and poise, but willingly criticizing its flaws. Complain though naysayers will about either, 99% of us would beg to have either, in our garage!
