I think the difference is, Merc is
also known for its trucks and buses as well as cars, where as BMW is mainly cars and motorcycles. Come on! DaimlerChrysler freaking owns like 4 trucking companies. And plus, Merc also makes Land Rover and Hummer type vehicles.
I must admit, the truck isn't ugly, but it's just wrong. (Like the Porsche Cyanne
SUV). It's not a Land Rover or a Hummer, but those Ford type pickup trucks. What is the bloody point?! X5 only came about because of the whole SUV fad (which is still going strong, ex: Porsche). This pickup is purely for the money and--as g$ points out--dilutes and cheapens the BMW brand.
