BMW vs: Mercedes

[Porsche]

Alright everbody knows that these two top manufacturuers make some of the best cars now which one is better. My down payment would go to Benz.

[ThunderFish911]

BMW, mostly because they make faster cars and for Mercedes' terrible treatment of ChryslerCo, which makes midieval torture look like a picnic on a sunny spring day.

[MBTN]

LOL. My dad has owned 3 Benz's since during the past 9-10 years. I'll have to go with Benz.

[Seb928S@af]

Benz is good but I want speed so the BMW is better at that. Its is more of a Sport unlike the Benz.

Terrible treatment ??? HAhahahahahhahaha.....Chrysler had the most horrid management board ever, their financial status was horrid. Don't blame it on Mercedes, because they are only helping the company at it's way back...

...on its way back to being just an economy division.

Chrysler usd to be an upmarket brand, for example the stunning 150mph letter cars of the 1950s.

[Porsche]

Okay two things, it was not who goes faster but who builds better cars. Also on the fast topic, why do people say BMW is faster, isn't the ML55 the fastest SUV around?

[gang$tarr]

On average BMWs are faster

I like BMWs better i dunno why, juss always have

but I like the mercedes styling better now


GO M5!!!!

[PookJP]

BMW all the way. BMW seems to be leading the automotive world right now with their sport sedans, and Mercedes is forced to play catch-up. The 3-series is superior to the C in terms of performance (and style, IMO), the 5-series eats the E-Class for lunch when you look at both comfort and performance, and the M's are just better than the AMGs.

Well I prefer BMW but that's JMO. In general I'll have to admit Mercedes is a good car I know several owners who drove theire Mercedes several 100kkm. But a Mercedes is what I call a Limo, except of the charger versions BMW makes sportyer cars. e.g. Mercedes has nothing compareable to a M3/5 in concern of sportivity!

[enzo@af]

What about the Brabus variants? Those are fast, awesome, awesome!!!!!

But, I still take a bimmer, in general. I'd take a CLK320 over a 3 series, but not over an M3.

[Porsche]

BMW, is defeniately sportier, I don't know why but Mercedes seems traditional and elegant while BMW looks fast and young. I think it might be the bright colour like fly yellow and Marlboro Red.

[Racer 20]

BMW owns!!

[Jay!]

I haven't had much experience with either, so I'll base my choice on personal asthetics, and choose BMW. Just because.

[VTEC V6]

i choose BMW because they mix sport and luxury perfectly

while Mercedes is jus mainly luxury
Benzo bought out AMG so they can make sport versions of their cars, they used to be separate companies. BMW has their own M division which makes all the performance versions of their cars
and each car BMW makes is already pretty sporty and is available wit a sport pkg plus the M model of the group

Mercedes jus started offering a manual transmission in one of their cars a couple of years ago
before that no Mercedes was availble in a manual transmission for the last 30 years!

and Brabus Benzos are pretty impressive but they are compared to stock M BMWs u should compare a Dinan modified M BMW to a Brabus benz


and BMW is in wit the young crowd as well as the older crowds while Mercedes is mostly with the older group


and for the ML55 being the fastest SUV out there
jus wait for the new X5 performance version comin sometime this year

it has a special 4.7L V8 that produces 347hp beating the Escalade and navigator and the ML55 for horsepower and also beating them in the quarter mile and 0-60!


and only BMW can put 19" rims on an SUV and get away with it
