2018 BMW M5 F90 vs E63 S AMG by review Automobile Magazine

FC05 · 03-13-2018, 01:17 AM

It's like M3/M4 vs C63s
M car slightly better than AMG car but only by a little margin, all down to personal preference

The author could have replaced the last paragraph with a paragraph that declared the M5 edging the E63S because it is a better all-rounder and kept everything else the same, and it would have still made perfect sense.

In any case, it looks like the E63S and M5 are really close this time around (as evidenced by all the reviews) and it comes down to personal preference.

That is the same review from Georg Karcher (first published in Auto Bild Sports Car in December 2017) that is syndicated to a few publications...

Why do I have both?
I have a lot of cars as I collect. I am up to 35 now. My wife and I like super sedan cars so we switch off cars for our DD with our Range Rover autobiography as well.
My E63S is being bought back by Mercedes due to many issues ( had a pre October build date) so I’m getting the M5 for now and already ordered a replacement E63s for July delivery.

This is my E63 in my garage

Beautiful garage I would love to see your house!! Outside of cars I love looking at nice homes.

I will say the sound the E63 makes is a drug... the only thing that worries me about the M5 is the exhaust note and that the styling is more subdued.

Enough of this MB vs. BMW choreography - show/tell us more about that F50!

Quickburn7 straight up hijacked this thread lol that garage is way more interesting than anything BMW or Merc is putting out (except that M8 concept).

That is why I post on here and some other forums.

For a person who owns a variety of great cars and post on various forums; how would you say Bimmerpost compares?

I used to be active on Roadfly when I used to race my E46 M3 and that was a great board. Bimmerpost is so far great but I have only used the F90 forum which hasnt been very active since the cars have not been delivered yet.

Mbworld and Ferrari chat have been great too and a good source of information. Only board I actually stopped using is rennlist.

Oh golly - impeccable taste!

Is that a 250GT?
And 1 or 2 CGT's tucked in there? Looks like one next to a yellow GTO and one next to something else in black that kind of looks like an R8 with a wing - holy cow, what a collection.

Thank you very much for sharing. That 599 is a beauty, but overshadowed by maybe 8 others there by a mile - a tough act to perform.

Adopting dependents by any chance?

Not Adopting... yet!
Yes that is a 250 GT. That 599 is actually a 599 SA Aperta. GTO body and engine but with a targa top. 1 of 80

Lord thats even better! Didn't notice it was an SA, but still WOWWW!

Let me know if the adoption stance ever changes. I'm great at keeping cars clean and would gladly trade that for room
And board (and tuition?).

Thank you for sharing with us, I look forward to seeing your future additions!

Progression from both camps are good but still glad to see BMW take the W on this one

I thought it couldn't get better than the F50 (unless it was one of the rare black F50s) and then I saw the 330 GTS and yellow 365 GTS/4, and then my heart stopped.

Thank you for sharing...

Yeah for me M cars are always the better car overall, but can't deny AMG does have some characters. Just saw a frozen black E63S with its thunder exhaust note the other day, it has a presence that the M5 doesn't quite have.
