I have always found him to say it as it is and he offers an opinion.

Just because you may not agree with him, doesn't make him a moron.
Exactly Matt is fairly unbiased in his reviews. It's just butthurt bmw owners

In my opinion, there is no question that M5 is the better car. Better performance, higher interior quality, and elegant & understated looks (yes, many want exactly that!). Also important, the post-LCI F90 significantly distinguishes itself in exterior styling from its BMW siblings whereas the E63s styling strictly follows the matryoshka design philosophy of MB.

Poiseuille Jr would concur in that assessment..

My cousins Alpha 4c made my M3 feel like a Camry

I love my M5, I wouldn't trade it for the world, but having still got a E63S at the moment, I feel the throttle response is more aggressive in the Merc. Power is definitely more linear and better between 30-90 mph in the BMW, but there definitely is a bit sharper throttle response in the Mercedes v BMW.

I have had both at the same time (in 2021) and I agree with you.

That being said, interior of the MB feels a lot more special than my M5 felt. But the M felt better built when going over rougher roads.

Agree with this. I've always viewed it as, while the E63S feels very AMG, it also feels very MB, with respect to your point.

Cross shopped both (twice), and still came away with the M5. But I really like the AMG.

While this pairing has been debated exhaustively (and remember, for you guys in the States, both of these carwow examples are suffering from the latest EU sound reg impositions, so you can more or less discount the whole acoustic/exhaust section of the assessment), if you're still yearning for a more authoritative, technically informed, and meticulously-substantiated review, which takes up the same comparative exercise, look no further:

I've had a 2020 E63S and now a 22 M5C. Yes generally speaking all car reviewers/journalists are right. Both cars have soul and characters I'd wager. The E63S does have more drama, the exhaust is more aggressive and growly, more random bangs and aggressive shifts and downshifts, combined with more cabin noise is how you get that more DRAMA or feel or whatever they always talk about.

M5s exhaust is just too refined, yes its just as LOUD, but it doesn't sound like a muscle car, the cabin is quiet and the shifts are sharper, hence why you get that "refined" feel, which numbs the car COMPARED to E63S. It does not make M5 less of a beast, its still bonkers. Its just that the Jakle and Hyde feel is more prominent in the E63S. Comfort mode feels too much like Grandpa E Class, and then Sport+/Race mode feels it wants to rip peoples faces off in traffic. BMW still feels sporty in comfort setting, so switching to the Sport + mode is not as dramatic. I hope that makes sense.

Both cars are great, I loved and love them, both make me turn my head. If BMW would have the exhaust just a little more louder, a little more aggressive when the valves are open it would be ideal. That's the biggest gripe, everything else I truly don't miss. BMW feels a little more distinguished. And its proper I miss the exhaust, you SHOULD miss the exhaust if you owned a proper AMG that's the whole point of a true AMG, its called "the hammer" for a reason and they did not disappoint.

If I could I'd own both.
