I never heard in the carwow video that the cars are stock. One small modification can easily change the outcome of the race.

Really? Carwow moded the test cars?

I never said this. But it is possible that they used a modified car (the faster one). Is this car officially supplied from MB for this test, or it has a private owner?

Interesting twist to the saga.

We need to hire a private investigator to get to the bottom of this.

Merc was first registered in the UK last March, it's just coming up for it's first birthday.

BMW was registered this month, so it is a newborn.

edit: for clarity, no conclusion is offered, simply some facts.

For me the case is solved. One year old car is much faster than the same car when new. No fair comparison here.

I said to myself why would a drag race thread have so many pages, the BMW must have lost? Sure enough, it did and there has been nothing but one lame excuse after another as to why lost and how this wasn't fare. Funny, but sad at the same time.

My goodness, the excuses. Both cars have proven to be a dead heat, in the next comparison like this the M5 could just as easily serve the E63.

No. Just the MB, apparently.

Do you think its a lame excuse? To compare a brand new car with less than 2000 miles and a car that is properly loosened up after being driven for one year. The last company car that a had was a 2016 Superb with a 2 liter diesel engine. When it covered 3000 km it was accelerating to 100 km/h in 9,1 s, after 6 month at 30 000 km the time was 8,6s, and after one year at 55 000 km it became 8,4 seconds.

You must have missed the all the troll posts in between!

Good grief, if we're going to start getting into these excuses then we may as well just whine "invalid" at every group test ever conducted. How do you know the M5 wasn't "tweaked" by the BMW UK press fleet division, thus negating the tight engine. How do we know MB UK didn't do the same with the E 63? Was the driver of the MB lighter? How much fuel was onboard?

It's quite sad really because it actually doesn't matter! We're talking milliseconds here and there. And for what? Are YOU going to buy an M5? Why do you really care? Seriously. Get. A. Grip.

A one year old is faster than a new born- that is my interpretation and I am sticking to it.
The Merc was definitely cheating because it is older than the BMW.

Yeah it's lame and pathetic because when a BMW wins no one is asking how many miles is on it or how old it is to defend the LOSING car. I couldn't care less about some old wheezy, smoking, tricycle diesel.

So from now on we need to have mileage/age for every car that is compared right?

This is a serious matter. There was an investigation conducted and the results are quite conclusive. The Merc is a year older than the BMW.
So what will be the outcome of a race between a one year old and a new born?
This is quite simple in my book.

I knew we had an in-house PI(private investigator).
Thanks for solving this mystery.

It's just ONE factor in what could be MANY factors. Without comparing it with a similar age M5 you can only guess. Who's to say it isn't the higher torque and 9-speed gearbox of the E 63? Maybe the E 63 has been "tuned"? A similar age M5 still may not win. You're drawing conclusions without sufficient evidence. And that goes the same for the E 63 too. Even a half-baked scientist will tell you that these tests are anything BUT scientific.

Pretty much ALL tests are conducted inaccurately, so I don't give ANY of them any weight really. And neither should you. I find these debates utterly tedious. I'm just trying to have fun with this one because there are a couple of BMW fanboys on here who I cannot stand and I'm winding them up. I'm a BMW fan myself, don't forget, but I really cannot lose any sleep over which car is the fastest. It's what children do.
