  1. They didn't use launch control, and the M3 jumped...

  2. Kaisuke971 Are you telling me that the Model S materials can be in any way "close" to a Phantom drophead?

  3. Kaisuke971 What'd you mean? Here are opinions of others, can be found in the main posts and the comments : http://my.teslamotors.com/de_DE/forum/forums/build-qualityinterior-quality-update-plans http://my.teslamotors.com/it_CH/forum/forums/opinions-interior-finishes-being-cheap Is the Tesla interior quality decent? Yes. Is it better than an A6? Yes. Is it better than a S63/760li? No. Is it better than a RR Phantom Drophead? No way.

  5. Hyundai is cheap? Ever heard of a Genesis?
    1
  6. It may be a cheap brand, but the new Genesis isn't a cheap looking car, especially interior wise. I'm also talking about the new Genesis, not the coupé.

  7. The only thing I was talking about was that not all Hyundais were cheap looking, and theres at least one which surpasses the Tesla in interior quality.

  8. I'm talking about the quality, as in the leather.

  9. Kaisuke971 Lol, Hyundai would need to spend years to be a Bentley. I'm not praising it, just saying its better than the Tesla. Shmee said it's pretty nice, but I also say my dd A4 has quite a nice interior. That doesn't mean I'd compare it to my S Class.

  10. It is quite good, but not £100,000 good. "Material quality could be better. The veneers and accent trims on the fascia look pleasant from a distance but don’t stand up to close inspection." I'm guessing you've already seen my channel and possibly my MB Forum accounts. Before my S Class I had a Bentley, not many cars compared to others, but I do have expectations for my next cars in terms of luxury which the Model S currently doesn't meet.

  11. I never said anything like that, I'm responding to the claims made by Tesla fans(not you) regarding the Tesla Model S being more luxurious than the RS7,S8,S63,760li e.t.c.

  12. Car mad Show me where you can do that on public roads. The 7 Series is a drivers car, the S Class is the passengers car.

  13. swunt10 Why do you need a lighter car if it was built for luxury. The amount of features to do with luxury is what puts one ahead of another between these two cars
    1
  14. Which is a drivers car...
    1
  15. swunt10 Rides better? It needs features such as the S Class' suspension and magic body control. My S Class went from 25MPG in the 2006 model to 52MPG in the 2014 model. Thats what you call losing less fuel. Mercedes already has tons of technology to avoid impact, and these cars aren't driver cars.

  16. It would be the RR Ghost competitor, which I'm not sure is what BMW is looking for. The 8 Series would also interfere with the RR Wraith so once again not sure if it's a move they wish to make.
    1
  17. The only problem with it, is that it will be a BMW. That's also the reason the S Class has been outselling the 7 Series in the past between the new 7 Series being released and the new S Class being released. I thought that was the reason they use Rolls Royce, since it has a better brand image.
    1
  18. Not really, everyone knows the S Class is a high luxury vehicle. BMW is common as well you know, with most being 3/5 series on lease as the 5 series leases are cheap. The 9 Series would affect Rolls Royce Wraith, as most people know they would be the same platform e.t.c. Bentleys technology is ancient, the only thing to help it is that it is called Bentley.
    1
  19. Its common since everyone knows they are high luxury vehicles, and how good they are, as well as the image they portray. The 5 Series is under £400 a month so not sure what their leasing strategy is.

  20. jamviator What has that got to do with the 7 Series or S Class? The Ford 999cc Ecoboost engine won for 3 years in a row, doesn't mean I'd prefer it over a 4.0 V8 found in the old M3, or the 6.2 V8 found in the old C63.
    1
  21. Which has a lot to do with the latest ones being under 4 litres. Anyway, go ahead, thought it was a sly remark to me.
    1
  22. ***** I'm used to other BMW fans(The guy whose called AMG M) and 2 others always trying to make sly remarks against me and the Steven guy which really proves they are trolls, which then makes me think that a lot of people do it.  Also, I wish to see a BMW M4 with a V8 twin turbo with about 550hp, due to it being so light, that's what I'd call a good, fun car.

  23. Gerald Holley The E63 does beat the RS6 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZ6WjL8VZnI

  24. Gerald Holley Of course they seem weak to you. Look at the altitude.

  25. Habej omar His argument is invalid? This is obviously a tuned RS6. How smart do you have to be to tell this is a tuned car? When asked this, Auto Express simply replied that these races were for fun. There's videos on YouTube of the E63 S beating the RS6 aswell.

  26. Habej omar How smart do you need to be to tell that this video involves a TUNED Audi RS6.

  27. Gerald Holley The Ford Mustang has a bigger engine than the Audi so why don't we race those 2? The R8 has a bigger engine so why don't we race it against an A Class? The E63 S 4matic is the natural competitor to the RS6, and it is now coming to the UK. The C63 Black is meant to annihilate everything around the track, and it does a fairly good job at that.
    1
  28. Gerald Holley What? My logic says that the C63 Black should be versus the M3 GTS, and the RS6 should be versus the E63S, the segments and price brackets being similar for both cars.
    1
  29. Gerald Holley The RS6 vs GTR isn't fair easier lol. Tbh the result of this was expected, 4 wheel drive will beat rwd in quarter mile any day, especially with higher hp.

  30. Club Bmw Amg Which is what the M5 was meant for, not the 7 Series or S Class which were meant for comfort.

  31. Why'd you think that?

  32. Why'd you think that?

  33. 63kicks Why not? On a test drive it was proven to be very easy to daily drive it. The only worry would be people scratching it, the same as what would happen if you had a Porsche 911.

  34. ***** I'm sure I did. I told you that I'm busy with work and my home extension now, hence me not finishing my latest retrofit. I also gave a link to command who are some of the best retrofitters as well as MBenzNL who are also some of the best retrofitters.

  35. ewt415 So people can't have an opinion? Everyone doesn't need to share the same opinion as you.

  36. C63 already beat M3

  37. J0lker He has already said that he didn't use insane mode. On the video he did, he won the whole way after 55mph.

  38. Henry Tuttle So will a 650hp 911 Turbo, 900hp+ GTRs e.t.c.
    1
  39. No lol. A S320 which is 4 year old costs more than 20,000. This will be worth at least 70,000.

  40. No one except reviewers and the factory have even sat in it, yet you are claiming this lol

  41. Constantine Joseph What about a S8? You are quite tall so I'd understand now. Had a drive in a black S8 and it was fast, and can also be picked up for less than a RS7 while being more comfortable. If you think it lacks grunt, just install a tune for 3000 dollars and you're way past any standard AMG, M or RS.

  42. +Filipe Fernandes The P85D doesn't compare with these cars. Much more expensive.
    1
  43. ***** The P85D is 30-40k more depending on options.
    1
  44. ?? I'm talking about the BMW and Merc. The P85D costs 30-40k more compared to the Merc/BMW.
    1
  45. I'll use pounds since its where the video is made. C63S £66,000 M4 £56,000 (not sure about this price but definitely less than 66k) 911 GTS £94,000 P85D £89,000 with options to match all other cars. Yes the 911 is more expensive but I'm talking about BMW and Mercedes.

  46. The M4 Competition Packages competitor is the C63 S Coupe, which dose it in 3.9

  47. Strengthoftenmen There is a difference between 0-60 and 0-62. You may not notice it, but in some reviews it's what counts. You want a M4 CP Coupe, I want a C63S coupe. At the end of the day, no one will manage to change your mind or mine. It's difficult to change the mind of an enthusiast lol.
    1
  48. Strengthoftenmen I have, and the main problem with the M4 is the sound(subjective, I like it, others who have owned the old C63/M3 probably won't), and the rear sticks out with traction control off. Of course some may love this, but as shown on multiple occasions this can be a problem for new M owners. I was wondering why they would add more power to the CP with this problem. I can't test drive a M4 CP since I'd be bombarded with calls to buy one, and after driving one I probably would, but from what I've read they've fixed the rear end problem. Now the only issue is the interior, which once again is a subjective argument depending if you prefer the C63S or M4 CP.
    1
  49. Strengthoftenmen Not sure about the lower models, but I am certain in saying the S Class and the 7 Series have better interiors than anything Audi or Porsche do.
