BMW E60 M5 or W211 AMG ? ULTIMATE SHOWDOWN 

M5 for me. More cylinders, more pedals!

More pedals definitely make the M5 more appealing 👍

The king is crank shaft bearing manufacturer! (For BMW).

Haha. Common issues on this particular car have been addressed though! (According to the seller)

M5 more cylindres higher top speed the smg gearbox(in europe) the look the sound especially the sound

Thank you VERY much for your comment. I really hope so 🫣

Thanks for your support 🤝 Grateful for every like, follow and comments like this.

For longevity Yes. And plenty fast too. But these are the big daddy models in the lineup.

I had a big debate with myself too before deciding on what to buy 👍

Manual just makes it more engaging to drive:) This was my first time driving 500hp engine paired with a stick shift.

My w212 had aluminum trim. Touching it would give me goosebumps; unpleasant feeling. I love carbon fiber and would better. Or carbon fiber + polished chrome (as in Audis).

Man, I was the same way. I drove it like a grandma till I replaced them bolts. I think you should Not be worried and enjoy it, but I know you will because internet has made you worried 😂 If you are planning on DIY the bolts, I have detailed DIY video. Check it out

@@AccentOnCars I’ll check it out thanks !

Yes, same 🫣 But if I had found one with issues resolved from someone I trusted, I would have felt a lot more comfortable buying m5.

S85 was influenced by their F1 tech, similar to how m156/m159 in MB was 👍

@@AccentOnCars silicon cylinder iron are not F1 , no dry sump, what are you talking about? You are confusing the advertising with the reality, the Porsche v10 in the carrera gt was a real F1 engine

Thanks for chiming in! I tried to remain unbiased in this review outlining strengths and weaknesses of both. What makes you choose M5 over E63? 😊

Next time you drive only shift at redline and you will understand 😉 all the action between 7000 to 8250. That e55 nice too tho.

What’s not close? Sorry I don’t understand what you mean

@@AccentOnCars m5 is a legend. And much better and engaging car to drive with a much better handling. Also the transmission on the amg is as slow as it gets.

Ok, I get it you’re making this comment without watching the video in full. Transmission in E55 was slow. The E63 transmission is faster than SMG in M5 or manual in this specific car. I don’t disagree with you though 😀

@@AccentOnCars smg shifts pretty quick in manual mode too, it’s just too aggressive but fun. Until the latest amg’s all of their transitions sucked)

Frankly, I think even the latest AMG transmissions are not as fast and precise as the ZF in M5. Mercedes doesn’t outsource their transmission development like BMW does, which always mean reliable and fast enough transmissions, but not as fast as ZF in M5 or PDK.

I disagree respectfully unless you mean w212 with m156 :) But even then I am curious why you think so. E60 M5 and w211 came out almost at the same time and both had NA engines. W212 had a bi-turbo engine starting 2011 - 1 year after debuting.

@@AccentOnCars so my thing with this is that technologically and cosmetically the w212 feels and looks similar to the e60 m5. the interior looks more similar with the screens and the overall shape and design of dashboards. w212 also has more driver settings like the e60 m5. w212 came out in 2009 in europe and the e60 m5 was still brand new in 2009. the w211 came out in 2002 technically while the e39 m5 was still around. I understand the w211 e63 was a facelift but still feels like it is a generation behind in most ways. the e60 came out in between the w211 and w212 production years. w212 and e60 look more similar and share similar features. technically yes facelift w211 and e60 were manufactured around the same time but w211 was out 3-4 years earlier than e60. I own a 2010 cls63 and it feels like it’s from 2004 when the w219 was released. mercedes benz kept these chassis around for many years and I can see why because they’re so fantastic!

Oh, I see what you mean. That makes sense in that regards. E60 was really ahead for its time. I have a w212 E63s review too if you want to check it out 😎🤝 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AInokB-HnDo.htmlsi=5-ZmEC7SltMAnUlw

CLS is my favorite btw. The best design probably. Luckily I was able to drive one ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dfnln6xXUCY.html

@@AccentOnCars I love your videos man, you make my m156 ownership feel more safe for sure haha. you give a lot of great advice and specific things to look out for and change on these engines.
