AMG vs M POWER - THE ARGUMENT ENDS HERE.

Welcome to the OG Battles and today it's BMW versus Mercedes, tuned edition. Let's go. Yep, what happens when four different models from two different rival companies collide? SUVs, saloons, coupes and hot hatches, all at the same state of tune. Long has the argument stood with fanboys from either side claiming their brand better than the other, with pack-like allegiances, online back and forth and straight up hate. Well right now we lay it all out. Today it's AMG versus M-Power. Today it is BMW versus Mercedes and we have got one of each. We've got the heavyweight SUV, the family car, the coupes and the hot hatches and this is how it's going to go. Each time a car wins a race, roll race and drag race, they win a point for their team. Team with the most points at the end takes the win. Simple. That's right, it's a one-on-one, one shot, no excuse, quarter mile drag and roll race. Hatch versus hatch, coupe versus coupe, saloon versus saloon, SUV versus SUV. Take a win, earn a point. The team with the most points at the end takes the crown. So on a Mercedes team, what have we got? GLE 63S, E63S, C63S and of course the hot hatch, the A45S. BMW team, what have we got? The M140i, moving on to the M4, then on to the ultimate family car, possibly the M5 and finally finishing with the X5M. And each one of these cars boasts considerably more power than they left the factory with. First up, let's check out the cars and see how they perform over a solo quarter mile timed run using our V-Box PBTs to gauge what they're actually capable of. First up, it's team M-Power and pulling up first, it's Naz, piloting his 2021 4.4 litre V8 twin-turbo powered Stage 2 800bhp BMW X5M competition. Specs coming up. Okay, so BMW X5M competition, let's get some revs. That's mad, I love that, I love that. Oh, turbos, listen, spoolie. You've just got to love the heavy weight, the SUVs, like they're not meant to be moving like that but you sound so sick, look sick. That's a beautiful car, that's a lovely car. I actually really like that car, sound, presence, speed, very nice. That is 11.14, that's strong though, this thing's moving. 11.14, 125 mile an hour, 125 mph, bad boy. So 0-60, 3.02 seconds, it's like three seconds flat and also 100-200, 7.71. Thing's moving, thing's moving. Faster, slower? Faster? I'm gonna say around the same, it looked very, very similar. Just imagine that dipped into the 10s, that would be wild but I don't think it did. You're fastest today, 11.12 at a speed of 123, so yeah, it was slightly slower top end but you're actually quicker over the quarter mile, so okay, 11.12, boom, 123. Sick, all right, we've got the times but the races are what counts. And the best time Naz runs is an 11.12 second pass at a speed of 123 mph. Next up, it's Matt from DC Prestige pulling up in his 2018 3.0-litre, inline-six-cylinder, twin-turbo-powered, stage-free, 750 bhp BMW M4. Specs coming up. All right, so next up, BMW M4, let's hear what it sounds like. Pornographic, pornographic. Got off the line well but then I think he upshifted twice, that's what it sounded like, right? Was it a double upshift? My ghost, because I got out anti-hijack. Oh, so what, the ghost tried to cut in? Yeah, so we'll go again, I guess. All right, yeah, you got some improvements to be made. Tell that ghost, don't be so spooky this time, you know what I mean? That was the one, that was the one. However, I'm going to say that car seems like it's short-shifting, it doesn't seem like it's going all the way to redline. But again, I don't know if that's for efficiency or, God knows, that just looked like his best run so far. Seems strong, that seems strong. 11.40, that's strong, that's fast. Let me see your terminal, 130. 11.40 at 130, that's a strong time, man. And Matt manages a best time of 11.40 seconds at a speed of 130 miles per hour. Next up, it's DJ MJ piloting a 2022 4.4-litre V8 twin-turbo powered Stage 2 800BHP BMW M5 competition. Specs coming up. All right, time for the BMW M5, let's hear what it sounds like. Strong, same engine as the X5, I think. Nice. I've never launched one of these before. Have a time in an M5 launching it as well. Could you get up, Claude? That's 10s. 10.6? 7. 10.7? Shazaroo says 7s. I'm saying 5. No, what did I say? What was I saying? 6, did I say 10? 10.6. It looked fast. Like I've done it before. 17.9, what the hell? Wait, what? What's going on? He's rigged it, he's rigged it. 10.71. 10.71 at 132 mile an hour. All right, cool. We have to go with what's on screen. 17.09 now, Jagger. All right, so Claude said, foot on the brake, stamp it, go. No, cut out. No, I'm clipping off. AI let me down. Nah, not as quick as the first one. Something stuttered down low. I think that cost him the faster time. So yeah, I'm going to say first one fastest, second looked a bit lazy the whole way down. I don't know, maybe something happened. I'm going to say might even be an 11s on that one. Low 11s. Yeah, first one was better. I tried launch control, it didn't work out. Oh, is that what happened, yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah. 11.36. Okay, cool. So you're fastest today, 10.71, 100 and something. 32. 32, there you go. Now we know. All right, cool. And DJ MJ runs a best time of 10.71 seconds at a speed of 132 miles per hour. Next up, it's Shane pulling up in his 2017 three litre inline six cylinder turbo powered stage two BMW M140i. Specs coming up. All right, hot hatch time, BMW M140i. Let's see what it sounds like. Nice. What's that, what's that guy? You know what I'm talking about. Good launch, good launch. I just hope the clock didn't start ticking as he moved a little bit and then go, do you know what I mean? Strong, strong. Gosh, I don't even know. Low 12s, low 12s is what I'm saying. Don't know if it's enough of that A45s though. On the roll though, what a numpty. I mean, it's still launched, but okay. 12.16 at 120, strong. I think, I think it's going a little bit quicker. Now you've got a bit of heat in your tyres. Runner again. Let's see what you've got. Let's go. Yeah. Hell yeah. Oh, that was good. That was awesome. Oh yes. Yeah. I think better or just as good as the first one at a minimum. I'm going to say faster. I don't know if it's enough to crack an 11. You're a chopper, I think. PTSD. Get to the chopper. If they didn't watch the chopper video, they'll have no clue what I'm talking about right now. And in fact, if they haven't watched the chopper video, make sure you're watching the chopper video at some point in your life because I raced a twin turbo GT3 RS against a helicopter and no one watched the video. Oh yeah. That was better. That was definitely better. 11.88. That is very strong. I'm happy with that. Mate, this is really efficient the way it's putting down power. You've got this locked. This is strong. No LSD in this. No LSD, open diff. Wow. And Shane manages an 11.88 second quarter mile at a speed of 121 miles per hour, marking the end of Team Empower's solo passes. And first up, repping for Team AMG. It's a face you're going to see a hell of a lot as he's literally every member of Team AMG here today, as every Merc here is tuned and built by him and his shop. Welcoming Ray back to the channel from All right, next up is the big old SUV. It is the GLE63. Let's hear what it sounds like. That is mental. That is mental. I'm going to say, yeah, that was fast. It really got up and the whole front end goes up like that. It's insane. Yeah, that was fast. I'm going to say it's low 11s. Low 11s for sure. For sure. Let's see. This thing weighs two and a half tonnes. It is heavy, but it's fast. It's got a lot of torque. That looked mental. That felt fast. That was fast. That was fast. 11.1. That was quick. That was no launch, just brake boost. This is crazy. To see this thing go from the outside is like a sight. Bro, the whole car just went. It was moving. That's crazy. So 11.18. Do you reckon, well, you've got another chance. You reckon you can go faster? I reckon I have to beat that. All right. Yeah, let's give it another go. All right, bro, line up. Yes, I beat it. I beat it. I'm going to say slower. I'm going to say slower, but you know what's interesting? Him in the X5, that's going to be a racer. That's going to be a race. That's whoever who's got the reaction time, I would say. So, yeah, I'm going to say slower that time, but we're in for a race with that one, I think. What did I say? What did I say? I beat it. You went faster. It looked slower from outside. No, I beat it. I beat it. No, he did beat it. An 11.05, bro. Yeah, without launch. In a two and a half ton bus. I literally was holding the brake a little bit. At 127 miles an hour. That is really fast. That's very fast. Very fast and quick. Quick and fast. People get annoyed. Two different things, apparently. All right. Cool. All right. So we go for 11.05. What's the 0-60? 1-27. 0-60 on that was a 3.15. 3.15. Yeah. X5 was slightly faster and also slightly faster top end, but you were quicker over the quarter mile. Yeah. The torque. The torque. The torque and the torque, torque, the torque too. That felt nice to say. And the GLE runs a best time of 11.05 seconds at a speed of 127 miles per hour. Next up, it's Ray. Again, in a 20, 24, 2-litre inline four-cylinder turbo powered Stage 2 Mercedes A45 S AMG. Specs coming up. All right. Hot hatch time. A45 S. Let's hear what it sounds like. Something about that tone I like for a four-cylinder. I don't know. It just reminds me of, I don't know, like four-cylinder. Nice. Nice. That's what I'm trying to say. No messing around. No messing around like arrow. I'm going to say a low 11. There was no messing around there. What do you reckon? I'm all right. Mid 11. 11.34. 11.34, yeah. We were both thinking in and around that. I reckon it would be better. You reckon? Yeah. The way it dead hooked, bro. It was strong. All right, cool. Line her up. Let's go again. This thing's fast. That did look quicker. That did look quicker. I'm going to say you might be right. A little bit quicker. Maybe just a hundredth, but it's in and around the same. I'm going to go 11.2. Crazy. You know what I said? Yeah, I'll beat it. I'll beat it. 11.27. 11.2. This is flying. It's flying. It's 11.27 at 122 miles an hour. That's strong. Zero to 60, 3.01 seconds. Strong. Strong, strong, strong. It felt like it gripped. Mate, the way this is dipping is impressive. Yeah, it's impressive. 11.27, 122 MPH. Okay, bro. Wicked. Well, I think your triplet is now going to get in the C63S and then your quadruplet or whatever the hell the next one comes after that, quadruplet is in the next one. All right, cool. The Mercedes A45S runs a best time of 11.27 seconds at a speed of 122 MPH. Next up, it's, you guessed it, Ray, pulling up this time in a 2020 four litre V8 twin turbo powered stage three 800 BHP Mercedes C63S AMG. Specs coming up. Coupe time. It is C63S. Let's hear what it sounds like. All right, this thing might spin up. It's a lot of power, rear wheel drive. It's got good tyres, but let's see. Let me know at home, guys, because I think that might have just taken the award for the best sounding car so far today. Let me know. Award for the best sounding, award for the worst launch, probably. Yeah, that's the problem. So much power and so much torque going to those rear wheels so quickly is a big problem, as everyone just saw. I don't think this car from a dig is going to be that effective from a roll fast, potentially. Interesting. I'm going to say it's like a 12.3, 12.4, 12.22, 12.22 at 130 MPH. You can go faster than that. What are you doing? Has this got launch control? It has. Are people at home going to be shouting at the screen saying you should be using launch control? Well, I can use it, but I don't know if it will tear up. What do you think will happen? That's up to you and your Mercedes fanboys watching right now. Cool. Much better. Launch control literally got them out of the hole nicely. Yeah, 11s, man. That's definitely 11s. What's the M4? 11.4. What's it faster than that? Nah, 11.6. It's close, though. 11.7, you say? I'm playing 11.6. Much better. Much better. I'd run 11.52, way better. 11.52. It didn't feel like that, though. It felt like it spun a lot. No, it didn't. It was good. Yeah, it was good, unless it was spinning the wheel that I couldn't see, but from the outside, it looked good. Now, 11.4, do you know what the M4 ran? No. M4 ran an 11.40, so you're very close. I'm very close, yeah. Let me see the track speed one second. All right, so this is the bigger thing, maybe, potentially, definitely for the roll race. The M4 done an 11.40 at 130 miles an hour. You just done an 11.52 at 136, so up top, you're hunting him down. Yeah, yeah. This is tough. I can feel the power top end. Yeah, yeah. Strong. And the C63 S manages a best time of 11.52 seconds at a speed of 136 miles per hour. And finally, yep, it's Ray, pulling up in his 2017 four-liter V8 twin-turbo-powered stage two 800BHP Mercedes E63 S AMG. Specs coming up. All right, family car. It is the E63 S. Let's hear what it sounds like. Absolutely sick. Now, the keen-eyed viewer and the knowledgeable viewer at home will know that this, the GLE63 and also the C63, all same engines, right? Am I right? I'm right. Let's go. Do you know, I know each to their own and fanboys to fanboys, and there's a lot of nice cars here today, but I just feel like there's something, I don't think you can dislike that. It's just, it's sick, isn't it? It looks prestige, the way it sounds and just the way it got. I like it. I'm not even a Mercedes man. I like it. That looked fast, bro. That weren't too bad. I'd done a 10.7, but if I can get it to grip a bit better off the line, I think I'll do fast. Just quickly, do you know what the M5 done? No. 10.71. Oh, I beat that already. Okay. This is going to be stupid close. This is great. And you reckon it's got more in the tank? Yeah, because I've reduced the launch RPM to do a soft launch, so it's been too much, but it's still spun a little bit. I'm getting technical out here. Technical gaps. All right, line her up. Yeah, that hook's so much better. That better be faster. That hooked. I feel like the only way I can describe the sound of that, it's just nasty. It's just... I'm going to say that probably quicker. 10.6. It was close to the first one. 10.6 something. Hang on. Wait, wait, wait. Don't say anything. Just by the swagger. Just by the swagger. When a man pulls up, he went, that's definitely a one tenth faster swagger. 10.46. 10.46 swagger. 10.46 at 135 mphs. And Ray runs a best time of 10.46 seconds at a speed of 135 miles per hour. That's the solos done. Let's see how they compare. Looking at the results on paper, in the drags at least, these BMWs might just have their work cut out, but we all know times on paper are one thing. Real life race situations, anything can happen. Plus, we got the roll races too. First up today, it's the hatches. Let's get it. Ready. Ready. Ready. Set. Go. 140 got off well, you know, for a rear wheel drive car, but the way that A45 dips off the line, it's just, it's a missile. Finish line, finish line. Who won that and by how much? That was a big bus length to the Mercedes. All right. Bus length to the Mercedes. So, one nil to Mercedes. Now, let's roll race them. Good race. Good launch, bro, for a rear wheel drive car. Good racing, bro. Good racing. He got off the line well for a rear wheel drive car, but this is just undeniable. Roll race, how are you feeling? Roll race is going to be, I don't know, it's going to be a sticky one, man. He's six cylinder. It's quick. Yeah, I know. I know how quick they are, but I think I got this. I think I got this. So, it's one nil to team AMG. Next up, it's the roll races. Let's see what M Power can do. I was going to say A45 S all the way, but I looked at the top, like the M 140. Finish line, finish line. Who won that and by how much? That was two car lengths to the Mercedes. All right, cool. That's where I would have thought the M 140 would dominate. It is what it is. It's two nil to the Mercedes. All right, BMW boys, listen, shout at the screen, stomp your feet, clap your hands, do whatever you got to do right now, because next up, it is the coupes. Let's go. Oh, man. Bro, they got us. That's spark. They got you. They got you. That's spark, man. Now, that's right. Listen, we got the coupes up next. Yeah, yeah. Maybe they can, or maybe the BMW coupe can pull it back for the BMWs. Ready, ready, ready. That was crazy. Both cars getting off epic there. I'm going to say the BMW just got that. It looked a little bit stronger. M C63, sorry, a little bit wiggly. I'm going to say M4. You've pulled one back for the BMW, boys. Yeah, good. So that is 2-1 now. Yeah, 2-1. It was good racing. That was good racing. All right, boys, want the same nice clean racing for the roll race now, yeah? Your pace car, get to 40, hold 40. He's going to get by your side, yeah? Get to 40 quickly, and as it feels like the front of your nose is crossing that line, let her rip all the way to the finish line, yeah? 40, yeah? 40 miles an hour. Don't worry, whatever speed he's doing, you stay with him. That time, Ray in the C63 was on the ball. Maybe rolling that, you know, just something going on. I'm going to say Mercedes, clean. Finish line, finish line. Who won that, and by how much? So that was a clear win to the Mercedes. 3-1. 3-1 to Team Mercedes. All right, cool. All right, you know what I mean? Catch you by surprise right now, you know what I mean? Know what's going to happen next? All right, line them up. It's time for the family cars. So I went bang on, but he went a little bit late. But no one went before the line. Yeah. And that's the main thing. That is it. Listen, if I spud you, it's like a policeman. I can't leave Matt hanging, yeah? I've got to spud him now, too. I can't be seen to be in any team here. It was a good race. It was a good race. It was a good race. It's a fast car. It's a very fast car. It's very fast. I feel like if you both went at the same time, we'd have been in for a really good race. I would have been in. It would have been neck or neck, I'll be honest. Yes. Well, we'll let everyone use their imagination. The times of the quarter mile also paint a picture. You know what I mean? You were the uno reverse, bro. I know. He's a little bit over 40, do you know what I mean? So I've hit the brakes a little and then too late, yeah. There's quarter mile times. There was the first race. There was a drag race, a roll race. Very close. Great to see them both out putting in the work. That's the main thing. It's good that that's a stage three because I think that was the perfect... If that was a stage two... Yeah, I don't think that would have... No, you'd have gapped him. Save it to chess, bro. You'd have gapped him. All right, bro, listen. It's 3-1 to the Mercedes right now. We need this M5 to do some damage against that E63 to pull it back. Ready. Set. Go. Yo, this is close. Safe. Yeah. Maybe a little bit. See you in a bit, Ray. Right at the end. The M5 done it. BMWs. It's not looking good right now. That's definitely 4-1, isn't it? 4-1 right now. That's crazy. You're still in the... I don't even know if they're in the game. BMWs have to win every single race from now on to draw. To draw, you need to win every single race. This is wild. Finish line, finish line. Who won that and by how much? We need to make sure. I almost had you. That's a L. Roll your window up. Don't chat to me, bro. I'll probably win. I give up. Sorry, man. I'm building all this suspense. Sorry. My apologies at home. My apologies. It's 3-2. Is it 3-2? It's 3-2. That's wild. And the Merc got off first. Or better. All right. Sorry about that little scare there. We're back. Roll race time. Bro, I thought you lost. Listen, I shouldn't be unbiased counsel here. I shouldn't be shaking hands. But I like what you've done. Bro, listen. That was a good race. I was saying to the camera that it's 4-1 to the Mercedes. I was like, the Mercedes boys got it. You did. Guess what? Last minute, he started pulling. Which is crazy because didn't this trap higher on a quarter mile? That's what I was a bit worried about. Bro. When I got off, I was like, I'm winning. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And he came around you. We were side-by-side and then he started coming. Could be the driver, you know. We were side-by-side. Oh, he's creeping a little. It happened again. I've done what I was supposed to do. So we had just about maybe half a gallon. OK, that was a good race, though. That was a good race. I couldn't call it. I honestly couldn't call it because I'm terrible at calling things. But I'm going to say the Mercedes won that. Just. Finish line, finish line. Who won that and by how much? Why am I so wrong? That is absolutely crazy. So it's literally free all. Free all. Come back. Is it free all? Can it be free all? We won six races. I don't know. Hopefully someone's keeping tally. Hopefully there's a tally on the screen somewhere. All right, cool. So it's drawn right now. So the only person now really that can make this go each way is the heavyweights. It's the SUVs. So boy, if. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I'm excited, bro. Let's see what happens. Let's go. So both of these cars are tuned by Pure Tuning. Tuned by us. M5 stage two, E63 stage two, both on pump fuel. And yeah, that was a good race in that. Bro, I got to smudge you because you just, he just brought BMWs back. Like literally, like it could have went south. Like this was a kind of, this was a race that if you had won both. BMW can't win anything here today in terms of you don't go home with a major win. Right now it's drawn three free. That's crazy. He tried to set me up. I've never driven this car before. Never in my life because you're driving this today. Well you're saying the BMW is just a better car. It doesn't matter who's driving it, the BMW always dominates, is that what you're saying? No, no, no. It's the driver, 100%. You got to adapt and overcome. That's what we did. All right, cool. So it all now boils down, believe it or not, it all boils down to this last race. And that's a scary race as well. The heavyweights. Yeah, that's a scary race. Yo, I'm only stopping the video because this is massive. Gaston Track, 2026. I have a humongous announcement to make. But for this one, you're going to need to look up. We are literally setting levels, physically taking things to new heights. So grab your tickets right now. Links down below in the video description. They are going to sell out. Everything boils down to this last matchup. A combined weight of almost five tons with a combined power of 1600 bhp. And all the mod cons and off-road capabilities a man could ever wish for. It could go either way. It could be make or break. Light a candle for your favorite brand. Because right now, it's X5M versus GLE 63S for the decider. Okay, now we're in a big boy 2.5 ton GLE 63S 2023 stage two. Again, pure tuning. This thing's heavy, but it's got a lot of torque. Racing an X5M. Let's see what happens. Ready. Set. Go. I'm saying BMW. No? I ain't saying anything. You saying Mercedes? You drove around it. People at home, did the Mercedes drive around a BMW? From where I'm standing. If you can see even that. Let me find out. Finish line, finish line. Who won that and by how much? Camera guy. Just be the camera guy, yeah? No extracurricular activities, yeah? He did, he did. He got a good launch. I can't launch, so here's what it is. Listen, you've got a roll race. You've got a roll race. But I got off well with brake boost, but. If he wins this next race. Yeah. BMW have cleaned up. The best you can do for Mercedes right now. The best you can do for them is draw. Okay. If you win this. I don't know if it's going to be a photo finish, but let's see. You nailed it, you nailed it. Right, listen, it's 4-3 to BMWs right now. So at a minimum, BMW, it's a draw. If you win this race, BMW take everything. Okay. No pressure. Ray's pulled it back for the Mercedes boys. Ray is the Mercedes community right now. He's just driving them all. I'm saying Mercedes. Finish line, finish line. Who won that and by how much? He's pulled it back. Last minute for a draw for all. Now we know that we don't know the best brand. Do you want to ask him to rerun that? I think I went a little bit early or did you go a little bit late? I was trying to follow you at 40. So I was looking down and I was close to the cone. Let me know at home in the comments. What's your favorite brand and what's your favorite car here today? Let me know who should have won, who shouldn't have won, who jumped, who cheated. Give it all the excuses. Hit that subscribe button. Hit that like button. Let's go. You know what, brother? I'm a fair guy, bro. I don't mind as long as it's fair. Yeah, he's not going to say anything. I'll run his back if both of you agree to it. If he takes the win, he wins. Yeah. No, no, no, no, no, no. Yeah, 100%, 100%. But you're going to give away a potential loss, yeah? There's no other ones after this. If he goes... All right, run it back. Okay, hold up. This could change everything. We've just had a complaint from Team Empower that the roll race start wasn't fair. Personally, I'd have said it was down to more driver error, but both have agreed to rerun this race for the fairest outcome. Have Team AMG just thrown it all away? Let's find out. Said I'm done it. Again, right? Finish line, finish line. Who won that and by how much? 1,200 Nm of torque in the AMG. Show them the gang. Mercedes gang. BMW gang. It was a draw. Now we know. That was my man. That was bang on, yeah? So what I did, yeah? Second gear, when I floored it, it was in manual. When I floored it, I whacked it into D. I made a little bit of a mistake, but it's fair. You beat me fair and square. No, that was a good race. No problem, bro. Thank you very much. All right, all right, all right, all right. Bang on. Listen, you fought your corner for the BMs, but listen. I mean, it wasn't all bad. It was a draw. Four for the BMs, four for the Mercs. You know what I mean? You got him on the launch. That was amazing. Thank you very much. My pleasure, bro. Can't argue with that. You know what I mean? I don't know what team I'm on today, but I'm on your team, bro. Come on, man. You've got to love it. We've done it. You didn't do it, bro. You drew. Listen, is that a Mercedes boy celebrating a draw there? Listen, you've done all right. You've done well. You held it up. We're the rolling kings, man. All right, all right, cool. Well, no, it was great. It was great. Thank you. Shout out to Pure Tuning each and every time, because Pure Tuning got like five of these cars here. Literally five of them. You know what I mean? Another car for another race that's going to be going on. So thank you so much. We appreciate you. Tell them where they can find you real quick. Yeah, Pure Tuning, Milton Keynes. We specialise in AMGs. You know what to do. What a round of racing. AMG and Mpower went toe-to-toe and each manufacturer proved its metal, finishing with a split for all draw. A massive shout out to everyone involved today for pulling up and laying rubber for the culture. Also, a special thank you to Pure Tuning, who had five cars in today's races.
