Answer me this.

How can two cars developed completely separately in top secret, end up with similar switchable full drive real drive systems within 10 horsepower of each other within 500 quid of each other?

Same weight, same performance?

I mean, who's spying on who?

It's the homogenize ation of the motor industry's nature.

If you ask too large bodies of people, the same question that public about the simple answer, that's that's what happens because everything's computer models.

If you throw in all the legislation that you need to meet, the performance you want to reach on, the fuel economy have to reach.

You end up with quite similar car.

I happen to know one of your favorite cars in the world is the 28 5 Correct.

So feds say your BMW man was the Merc accident savant.

Is that the underdog coming into this test?

If I'm offered this talk this type of car, I always gravitate towards an end.

If I just love him, that's the M five classic car, isn't it?

Theo?

They do it best to have the heritage, but recently mistaking his game is he's got so much better the gear changes faster.

Red, I have to say, from the looks perspective, this doesn't do it for me of an M five or any M car.

Should have.

That kind of camber at the rear of the actress will be a bit wider.

There should be for me.

Well, what night you re just crack on way are returning that we're talking about a car, but it isn't quite.

Doesn't quite look away.

Should whereas the e 63 because Mercedes doesn't have that heritage of the rear axle.

See you, mate.

Um, you don't have the expectation, but it's gonna be quite punchy from the real.

Yeah.

Yeah, I think that's disappointing.

Well, let's do this methodically.

I want to go through acceleration.

The two cars.

Is there a difference?

Can you feel it?

Just won't feel fast, Theo?

Six and two threes.

They're both so fast that you sit there going Kenneth saloon car.

Really do this style.

We've covered that one.

That's not from that's just from a personal perspective.

Some people will prefer the Mercedes or the BMW Vice vessels.

You're right.

I think it's too plain, I think.

Yeah, I think you might have a 5 40 You agree with me on that one point more to counter sounds, I think they both sound pretty good.

I'm pretty good.

The Mercedes is an angry of sounding machine on on the downshift has got bigger pops and bangs.

Everything else kids, they skipped beautifully.

They really do.

They mean it both.

I can't respect them on that.

When you go in the four wheel drive mode and try and slide the Mercedes, it feels like a GTR.

It feels like the rear axle is being helped.

The whole time by the front is quite strange.

Feeling was, the BMW isn't quite playful in that milieu.

BMW has slightly better ride comfort, more comfortable car.

It's acquired two car.

The Mercedes is a more exciting car.

It feels more immediate.

So I think you could argue that if you wanted the more comfortable machine, that being that we might just take it.

But I'm going to stick your neck out and give it to the mark.

I think I am.

I think she's got personality to it that I find stronger than the BMW.

Just one thing we haven't mentioned.
