hi there this is the BMW x6 M
in fact this is the second generation BMW x6 and which means the first one was
so successful they built another one and now it has five hundred and sixty-seven
horsepower every time somebody says that thing doesn't make any sense there's
some mad Men Bavaria who performed a Porsche 911 this is the Mercedes AMG
gele 63 coupe and it has five hundred and seventy-seven horsepower to quote
*** allen the original don't feel but if you do steal from the best now with
one of these two is in fact the best that we're going to find out on this
hunchback the Nurburgring episode of head to head
yes I'm interrupting my own video but there's a very good reason why we are
launching something very cool this rivalry BMW vs mercedes-benz has been
going on a long time in fact a much thinner Jessica me so once in a
head-to-head on the origin of it it was the e30 m3 vs the Mercedes 190 2.3 16
with this rivalry is still going on today on racetracks but what if you want
to watch it
meet Motor Trend on demand think of it as Netflix for corn nuts in fact if you
go there right now you can watch Mercedes battling it out with BMW in
series such as the Pirelli World Challenge in DTM but of course please
finish watching head-to-head first I know what you're thinking this thing but
but international fee and then removed all the utility wrong this car is a
flaming middle finger my problem with it is that BMW been laid it on fire then go
far enough
five seats 4 doors know this should be a single seater with senator steering and
the set of doors is to be a roof hatch and instead of this grouping tailgate
well that shut what's the difference as far as wide receivers decided to break
out the tracing paper and so slavishly copy the x6 I can give you 1.5 billion
reasons why specifically you look at the base price of a mean WX six it's about
$6,000 higher than the x5 this sold two hundred and fifty thousand of the first
generation X 60 X 1.5 billion dollars in profit from a car that rolls off the
same assembly line as the x5 overseas would be crazy not to try to get in that
game now is a time in fifty determine its one of these two is better
63
when you get right down to it
gigli 63 is all about the engine and what's an engine and 157 5.5 litres two
turbos five hundred and seventy-seven horsepower and it's terrific in fact
advantage of this car has over the X exam is the engine no
what's in that
how you want your attacker why not
the neighbors yes please breaking the Dead Yet plans a hundred miles an hour
never found
if there's a real weak spot and I don't mean it's like an Achilles heel but
something I wish they could improve
transmission which works pretty good right now but for instance if you're on
the freeway cruising and eighty miles an hour because of the carrying 2,400 rpm
which is really getting into the meat of the torque curve this thing is straining
against its rains and just not comfortable cruising vehicle should
because you have this wonderful luxurious interior great mercedes-benz
on center steering feel but it's kind of a
ride where is the X 60
with its eight-speed ZF transmission or eighty miles an hour
engines barely 2,000 rpm and it's a great long distance machine
looks go there is no polite way to put this but they're both kind of terrible
looking to get a Prius and like you know started showing steroid down his throat
and then pumping it up with a bike promises big kind of good test
hatchbacks although the x6 M and maybe it's just that paint Long Beach group
but looking at it there's a certain angle not so bad but the Jialing its
kinda bad from every single angle and by kind of bad I mean it's bad every angle
you got relatively small rear view mirrors got this loping C&D pillar where
you can't see anything my rear glass is this big a part these things
right so here we are in a parking lot and we are going to see which one of
these two has a superior backup camera system starting off in the AMG and as
you can see it's got a cool surround view cameras actually one of the better
ones just the definition of a can see the cracks in the asphalt is incredible
I can change all this and go from the 360 degree view that improving in two
hundred eighty-degree view which is a kind of a wide angle backing up I think
I know what I'm going to do is to use the 360 degree view like that better and
let's see how this thing parks I mean it's so simple and this is what's great
about modern parking systems like this even if you have this car which is
effectively a bunker with almost no rear visibility look at this can still put
the car exactly where I wanted man I would call this a picture-perfect AMG
parking job I mean look at that
playing a room on either side not bothering anybody will now have you see
how the BMW does yeah
oh hi Sorry ok and now we're in the x6 and we're going to see how this thing
deals with backing up and parking and like the energy you a couple different
ways you can do it one quick difference between the two is that this is a much
wider screen equally high def you can see more information on the BMW screen
that on the Mercedes right now I've got the rearview camera on but on a little
side window I have the school kind of digital parking sensors English tells me
how close I am to various objects which is great if I leave in this mode to get
tracer lines and show me where I'm going and I get something they call obstacle
marking which like there's an infinity to my left behind me and I see little
yellow box lets me know that you know don't hit that if I get closer to
reality and read it's pretty cool anyways I'm gonna leave in this mode
back this thing up
ok my boxes turn red but I didn't know he'd infinity these tracer lines are
very very helpful
that in fact I would call this the dictionary definition of a
picture-perfect BMW parking job and now let's get back to the road
a little bit smaller and smaller more compact vehicle it's not but it feels
that way
it's noisy in here and right now I'm just kind of running around in normal
mode but I said this button the M one but no distress it twice to confirm the
car up in the psychomotor get this great play
oh dude how does it again
absolutely saying this is one of the most demanding ever built
you gotta admire BMW's cojones because you know they they really with a
straight face will say things like they must protect the integrity of the seven
enjoy the next 6 I mean it's simply crazy
just like
you're selling this to people is miraculous four point four leaders two
turbos 567 horsepower yeah it's less than mercedes-benz also lugging around
200 less pounds
this is this transition that all sorts of other vehicles used to show perfectly
here
townships doesn't matter
rapid-fire perfect you would not believe how this thing drives I don't believe
others think I'm driving it
yes yes it doesn't sound as good as the mercedes nor is it is solid there's a
lot more squeaks and creeks and sound insulation but
fun factor the smile factor the reason is the reason why you would buy a car
like this in the x6 M gee makes 10 more horsepower than the BMW V eight and it
takes about 25 more pound-feet of torque but she really is about 200 pounds
heavier than the x6 M I wonder which ones actually faster and a drag reads
and I wonder how they would do against the regular sports car
so for the sake of entertainment and nothing else left in these two Randy
post and see how they do in our race track
the brand new mercedes-benz AMG jailing 63 ***
very high performance right away the impressions on killing her soft
plus a good time and location
shares her trip Mercedes have had some really good sporting transmissions but
its snapping off those shifts we got a fair amount of understeer
see the wheels I can turn it into the returns in pretty well and then goes
into a strong understeer
there's a lot of emotion and the AMG most body roll
who stopped
squad under acceleration
I can actually feel the car sit back on its haunches when I get into that power
power
break-ups kind of soft lot of travel and as I Drive I'm sensing a little fade
the big cars powerful that's actually enjoyable on the downside
the stability controls even though we have everything turned off I lost a
thriving weight loss of braking and the seat belt tightening up on the whole
system went into
sensing a crash
there's no race mode and I have to say that in some ways that make sense but
it is so frustrating on the race track
we swapped over to the BMX X6M what good V8 sounds
wow this is just
right from the git go
it's a tighter package if feels more like a sports cars or sports sedan
right off the back I don't see a huge difference in the power
both are bloody powerful
the BMW has a much sportier feel than the AMG
this X6M is wow
it feels like a sports sedan I gotta say little tall
but under steers way less way less body roll
imperceptible break dive
no squad on power
a much sportier package and you don't need to be me and be able to tell that it's just obvious
right from the git go
breaks are far more comfortable on the race track
where the AMG have a soft pedal in a fair amount of trouble
BMW for short travel pedal
quick response really loving about the x6m just hit me no stability control
intervention I'm actually driving this car BMW is actually letting me
drive the car
I'm really quite shocked at the cornering speeds scarce
not only on the straights but in corners it's a hammer
fastening and see what the lap times like
lets get these big powerful super SUVs on the watch and find out
look I really dig that AMG it's awesome but it's kinda like a grizzly bear you know what I mean
you know what I mean yes it's the most powerful thing in the forest and smash you head off with it's paw
but in reality it would sit around like a pot of hunny all day and hibernate it's just the X6M is simply bad
it defies all sense logic convention
look
and for that reason and the size of the grin on my face the winner of this Head 2 Head is the BMW x6 M
it's insane oh my God I love this car
