Never before have I driven a more explosively powerful car than the F90 BMW M5. With its 4.4 liter twin-turbo V8, 600 hp and all-wheel drive, the new M5 simply detonates forward with even slight prods of the gas pedal. It’s violent and terrifying and wonderful. But it isn’t the only sedan on the market to be so explosive. The Mercedes-AMG E63 S exists as well and it’s every bit as fast and violent as the M5. Two super sedans with Ferrari-killing speed. What a time to be alive. But which is faster in the real world?
In this new video, we get to see some official Vbox timing for the BMW M5 on a highway in Russia (which seems unbelievably unsafe) and the key time to watch for is 100-200 (62-124 mph) km/h. That’s an important figure because it shows off just how explosive a car is all the time. Many cars can be fast off the line with clever launch control but being able to accelerate hard while already at high speed is an impressive display of power. Something both cars can do well.
While we don’t get to see any official Vbox times for the AMG, we do get to see them for the BMW M5 and then we get to see a rolling drag race between the two.
For the official times of the M5, it pretty consistently took 6.7 seconds to do that sprint. That’s Porsche 911 Turbo/Ferrari 458 fast, in a four-door luxury car. That speed shows in the rolling drag race, which the M5 handily wins twice in a row. With unofficial rolling drag races, minor wins can be attributed to poor downshifts or possibly even one of the cars not lining up properly at speed. However, the M5 clearly out pulls the E63 S.
Honestly, though, either of these cars are faster than any sedan has the right to be and any enthusiast would be absolutely thrilled to own either.
thank you nico :)
The M8 is gonna be insane can’t wait
M8 Comp pack will be crazy too
I can’t wait the m8 is gonna destroy competition
shocking! bmw wins hands down… on a bmw only site called ‘bmw blog’ !
sad that BMW’s come down to this. ….there was a time when people would have chosen a bmw M over an amg.. now its just … well… videos like the above to pacify fanboys.
Why are you hurt?
funny. i choose my E46 M3 over my 2017 c63 anytime…
unfortunately any criticism sheds more light onto the fanboyism thats plagued the brand. that would possibly explain why bmw hasn’t tried sincd the early 2000s… since any criticism is immediately met with the fanboys coming to the defense, bmw feels no need to stay relevant
there is no fanboy stuff here though, the video just shows a drag race between both thats all and the m5 won and has vbox statistics i dont see the problem?
yea, legit video. legit ….
whatever boosts your self esteem
Apparently bogus comments boost yours.
uh huh… yeaa…
stuck in the early 2000s…. just like bmw. :)
While u r stuck in fiction, BMW have doubled their volume this century going into new segments, a process they continue building new factories for BEV & autonomous in pursuit of another 50% in volume & #1 in China, they have spent billions on battery & production facilities. U r the troll stuck in the last century.
awww… all the fanboys are butthurt.
the slow downward spiral of a brand…. a brand i love…just not to irrational levels like the above.
bmw hasn’t made any news in the automotive industry in decades; deal with it. … yawn
Learn English
in decades…
awww….
go find a E46 M3 to cry in, that was the last hooray of bmw. incidentally the last chasis of bmw thats well known to this day.
:) :)
next topic: BMW’s dominance in motorsports!! just kidding. im hear all week, tip your waiters.
Since u can’t read, recent BMW news includes new X7, 8er, 3er, record volume, new factories & billions in r&d for BEV & autonomous. Trolling BMW is old, deal with it … yawn
And Z4
Can’t keep up!
aww how cute. made up statistics…
people are super excited about the new 8 series😂 hehehe. cant keep a straight face… and the x whatevers lol.
hey, don’t let my comments crush your esteem!
U & esteem r strangers, will actually let disqus block u & ur crazy.
Vlad buddy you know BMW net worth is 60 billion and Mercedes net worth is 34.4 billion, what does that tell you. It looks like Mercedes is the one on a spiral downward by a 2:1 margin. Now both cars are incredible car it’s just BMW is on top at this moment so relax. And quit hating and grow up
Since your c63 only exists because Daimler was forced to buy an independent tuner from former emloyees in order to try & compete with M (still failing), instead of typing bmwblog, why don’t you send a thank you note to Munich? Since Mercedes sell knock-offs of the X4 & X6 & have NO competition for i3, i8 (to name 2), who’s irrelevant? Not to worry, if you need a bus, taxi or dump truck, Benz will hook you up. What you call fanboyism is actually success.
Dude that video I saw a couple of weeks ago on YouTube so to say that just because it’s a BMWBLOG is nonsense and if you not a Bimmer fan then don’t comment I’m sure merc also got a fan app for guys like you and the proof is in the pudding most of the time this blog puts up videos were people talk trash about BMW and we take it cause we real and we don’t care about others opinion so relax and take note and let’s enjoy how the M5 just school them AMG😂😹😂😹😹😹
I bet the BMW fanboys meet up at the rest stops and make a good use of the glory holes.
Not our test. So not sure what the issue is
probably salty merc fan lol
If he thinks these results are unique, guess this is the only site he trolls.
People don’t even bother to read or watch till the end. So they assume it’s us being fanboys. I don’t know of any other brand-related website that’s more objective :)
Or that attracts more critical “fans”. It’s funny that this is what he takes issue with when these results have been repeated elsewhere repeatedly.
This is not the only video where the M5 wins there’s other ones on channels like Top Gear where the M5 wins. I feel this isn’t being posted to showboat more for entertainment purposes.
Good luck reality checking this one.
I’ve personally own the F90 M5 and have beaten the E63S a couple of times now, and there are other videos of this as well. Unlike the F10 M5 that had a hard time with traction. Now the F90 M5 has AWD it gets that power down and were The E63S does not have that advantage any more that’s Plan and simple Engineering not a fan boy rant so no need to be a poor sport AMG FAN BOY
Tesla owners give BMW owners pearl necklaces every time!
