This is an interesting acceleration comparison between two greats: the BMW M550i vs Mercedes-AMG E43. The superior power of the BMW (proper V8 under the hood, an enhanced version of the already famous N63 unit, the 4.4-liter mill being taken up to 462 HP and 650 Nm (479 lb-ft) of torque) means that it will be considerably faster than the E43 AMG (uses a 3-liter V6 that was turbocharged to offer 400 HP and 520 Nm (384 lb-ft) of torque) but the video below shows impressive performance from the Mercedes. Even though it came in second, it did come closer than I expected to the M Performance model which is something not many cars can claim these days. But if it were your choice, which car would you go for?
