i had the x5 now i switched to ml bmw better road handling mercedes more comfortable everything else is just witch brand you like more its like versace vs armani

Our 2002 ML500 keeps on going & going 151,000 and still very tight & fun. Kinda thirsty but fast & fun with 5.0 V-8 !

I have both and the Benz is mush better to drive in the winter then the 5. The 5 is nicer to drive and more power but I just got back from taking my ml 320 off roading and it didn't get stuck in 3 feet of snow .The 5 is way to heavy in deep snow or mud .

ML320 is amazing. I had one, but I had to sell it because I didn't need it, now I have a C250 CDI and a 240GD.

Am I the only one that found the automated voice hilarious?!

ML's easily last tens of thousands of miles longer.

We had that x5 In black until September .. It was a great car. Now we have a new 335i convertible, also great :D

The first generation ML was based on body on frame construction with all independent suspension. It was a true all road SUV only after the G wagen.

Your wrong Mercades are way better

You're comparing the face-lifted X5 and the non-face-lifted ML, not quite fair, is it?

Have Ml320 2001 and is done 280,000 and still going, with ML you don't need a pricy mechanic to fix your ML because everything is pretty easy to fix by yourself. And with X5 good luck in replacing your faulty headlight lamp, it would need more than a mechanic to replace it, and sale it before it reaches 180,000 or you will have nightmares when you drive it. lol I know that coz my bro has X5.

I can't imagine taking either of these beauties off road.

Being very different cars...which do you prefer? I have just sold the 335i Cabrio for the X5 3.0d, both from 2008. What do you like and dislike in each? Thanks

Mercs are passengers cars, BMWs are drivers cars.

Had an x5 got an ml now they are both sick cars but I do enjoy my ml a little bit more

In addition to her technical superiority, I don't know any other car/suv as beautiful as bmw.

Would have to say the ML is a prettier car.

great review

The ML has aged far better than the X5 and is far more reliable if maintained well

Ml 500 is what I have and that things a beast

ML RULLES

In regards to the Mercedes ml , i like the W163 model the one before the W164 as shown .

Which years old ML

quality of MB is much better

Getting my ml remapped cos it's slower than my defender off the mark but better than the x5 overall i think

that is one of the best comparison video i have ever seen

Mercedes all day :)

im on my second ml 320 cdi because i tow a 2 horse Brenderup trailer..and on cruise control!!! a very refined vehicle very practical space in back perferct for my pointers donut bed...mpg close to 30 on highway...its just a lovely vehicle for 'mink and manure'!!!

I enjoy my 2006 ML350, is the best. Why is it that it doesn’t have navigation?

Good info, but sets a new record for monetising ads, ads, ads, ads, ads. So irritating.

for around 20 years we gonna see this ML pulling a BMW to junkyard,so hurry up boys!

LOOOOL. I have two vehicles and both are these two, a black x5 and a silver ml320. Same

"Adequate for moderate off-road excursions". So it wont really work off road?

i have a 2011 c300 and a 2013 ml350. i love mercedes benz. i have never driven a BMW though.

I have myself ML320 but X5 is better I can prove it. one they April 1, 2008 I was driving ML320 3004 edition and my friend was driving 2004 X5, he is a fun of X5 I like ML, he made sharp round turn with x5 and continued straight without any problems, when my ML lost the way, Brakes automatically stopped I hardly did maneuver. In comfort Ml may be better, but not in motion...

Which has better reliability ? And which is better to maintain?

I got a chance to buy eitehr of these cars right now. I think I am leaning to teh MB. seems BMW has more mechanical issues inteh long run. Plus the MB is an actual truck chasis.

i just had a baby and bought an ML350. it felt nice inside, plush, comfortable. plenty of room in the back seat for baby. nice cargo area. great ride to pick up my friends/business people. i like the bmw as well. but the interior was a bit colder/staid. but it was faster / handled more like sports car. but also part of what i don't like about bmw is that every tom dick and harry has one in LA (where i live). many people who don't know jack about cars or who don't have any class (or any originality) but simply want to get a cool ride to impress people will just default to a bmw. many of these people are douche bags. so, by association it's resulted in a negative connotation (an unintended negative marketing effect) and that's partly why i can't bring myself to buy a bmw. mercedes also somewhat suffers from this... but the ML less so as I don't see a ton of MLs on the road and it has a bit of a toned down attitude (which I like). if i want a sports car i will buy a porsche. keep sports and luxury separate.

mercedes ml 320 and 350 are the best suvs in the world

How will either one of these do when out of it's lease? I've heard of many BMWs, including the X5s falling apart before even reaching 100K miles, but Mercedes to a much lesser extent. Any car manufacturer can make a vehicle that will be reliable for a few years, but what's more revealing is how it will do post 100k and 10, 15, 20 years down the road.

but can it blend?

The bmw looks like a Range Rover but with less class

I think the ML class has been on the market since 1998, not 1995?

X5 is far more better car than the ML. Owned both of them, and I know.

for me the ML points at bouth design comparisons

And in reply to your ignorance, the link shows the W164 model of the ML and it's first edition from 2005 to 2008 and the face-lifted edition from 2008 - 2011. en.wikipediaDOTorg/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_M-Class

forgot to say it was small snow on the road

X5 suits for the younger generation.and Mercedes ml suits for older generation when you look the design and shape of car.after all bmw is bmw. With a much aggressive look.

why mercedes driver did not turn on lights?

That mercedes is either a 07 or 08 I can tell by the mirrors

Daaamn the man who is speaking is a robot!

this guy would be at home on the bridge of the enterprise!

the way this guy speaks,,,:@@@

I like the bimmer better too.

ML IT'S PERFECT

BMW X5 ALL THE WAY C: it's way better than Mercedes. BTW just a side note. they shoulda got the BMW X5M because it has more than 500 hp

My favorite car is X5 but honestly i think that landcruiser is better :)

Mercedes is a best car

7:52 he said XL

The truth is that bimmer is the ultimate driving machine for those who want to be in control of every aspect of driving, at the same time Mercedes provides a pleasant trip , but less reliable in critical driving situations

when he said the x5 went 215 i thought it was mph for a sec

I currently drive a 2006 E90 320d with manual transmission. Strong M47 Diesel engine is good, and it handles great, but its comfort and luxury sucks. Heavy steering, seats with no lumbar, pedals too close together, manual six speed gearbox is stiff and notchy, ride quality is firm. Great for the race track but not so nice every day in the real world. So next time I will get an Automatic Mercedes-Benz. I imagine the same is kinda true for X5 and ML.

Yeah

they should make Jeep Wrangler vs Troller T4

ML is simply the king 💪🏼

why you compare an x5 se against a ml sport. these people that review cars shouldn't be

BMW Wins yet again. What a surprise. : )

The ML came out in 1997, not 1995.

After going through the interiors, pronouncing the BMW the winner was bizarre. Didn't see that conclusion coming at all. The reviewer couldn't have been taller than six feet. I'm 6'3" and I felt wedged in. Can't imagine spending 3 hours at a whack in that seat.

Worked on both manufacturers over the years, X5 is a clear winner in my opinion. ML extremely unreliable.

Bmw X5 better , Interior far away 👌 and exterior very amazing 👏👏

The narrator sounds like he is gonna tell us about a ww2 story 😂 I like the BMW design better but the diesel ML would be a tank and strong

My Mercedes ML 350 Exelent

I think this test was accurate. I drive an ML320 CDI. Like all MB SUV's, it is a great offroad performer. It does however have drawbacks like too light of steering, too soft suspension, and a clunky transmission. When it comes to quality and offroad capabilities, BMW cannot match Mercedes-Benz. But the same does not apply when it comes to onroad performance where BMW's really shine. Onroad performance, the BMW wins hands down. I prefer MB to BMW any day though. They're just better vehicles.

Mercedes benz GL CLASS

ML workmanship hey, lol. Not the first generation though.

even mercedes s350 has sluggish 7G-TRONIC (i have one)

say that again about a ml63 :D

em el

My dad have a Mercedes ml 280 cdi

on the ml the rust get very quickly bmw is beter engine beter body last for long

Какая лучше???

mercedes benz ml eats bmw x5 in off roading but in terms of speed bmw x5 eats mercedes benz ml but they are equal in quality and luxury but the final thing that show us which is better that mercedes benz ml is more reliable than bmw x5 so that the winner is mercedes benz ml

Mercedes Benz

7:50 he said xl and ml instead of x5 and ml

BMW is the best

Sorry, the ML wasn't on the market in 1995....

Ml is better

A real off-road vehicle must be angular!

The mercedes is a really good car and the BMW is too but when you buy a SUV you are looking for the off road quality...I prefer the Mercedes because is much better on off road and is sportive but maybe the BMW isn't in off road like the mercedes but it's very and I think is much sportier. As I said the mercedes is better always P.S.: Mercedes is not a car for everyone...it's a car for the reigns love mercedes

ML is Better End Comfortable

Is this a racing test or a 4x4 test. When I am going off-road, I want vehicle that will take me places and not get stuck, NOT how fast I am going to get there. STUPID review.

take the ML any day...

I gave up when I heard "flex's its muscles"/ This voice sounds like a voice over from 1950.

mercedes is asome

i like Mercedes more than BMW but this time ill go with the X5

There is a saying in my country, which is Serbia. It roughly translates to "God on Heaven, Mercedes on Earth". That pretty much says it all.

Mercedes!

Is this dude whistling when he speaks or is it my ears

I'll take the Mercedes given that engine will outlast BMW by a long shot and is superb off road.
