BMW 7 series or Mercedes?

[j_neutron]

Well when it comes to luxury, quality, speed, engine and unbeatable in peformance, mainly 2 names pop up in your mind...BMW and Mercedes Benz. Yes the Mercedes brand has dominated the market for quite sometime now in ultimate luxury cars but since the BMW 7 series has come into market.....man competition is stiff. BMW has the luxury, posh yet subtle look which doesn't simply project a image of somone with money but also it says someone with class.

Mercedes on the other hand too is amazing in performance and engine but the same old designs and everything has reduced its face value. Plus you see a lot more mercedes on road then 7 series so. Considering everything these 2 cars have to offer including their price tag, my vote definitely goes to the new BMW 7 series.

that is tru...cos a short trip to the corner shop and i can usually hav 100% chance of at least seeing 2 mercedes

if you want to talk luxury then nothing beats Rolls Royce (now owned by BMW) and Maybach (owned by the same parent company as Mercedes Benz).

havent you forgotten the Audi a8 (brilliant car, I drove in) or the VW Phaeton?
For me, nothing can defet the audi. The 7 series has an optic I don´t like and the mercedes is too old (not the engine, but the optic). Grandfathers can drive that vehicle ;)

[Q-Ball]

7 series is a little too futursitic for me, can't mess with an s class

[chrisang626]

7 series RULES!!! but elegance wise.. go for the Benz =)

[ExprezTaz]

I like the Mercedes better, too.

I'm guessing you guys aren't taking into consideration or pricing, so, I'd say either a Roles or a Bentley...I haven't seen any Bentley's where I'm at so that's something that'll set you apart from everyone else's BMW or Benz...^_^

[o'bluetourin]

ever considered E55? or is that not roomy enough?

[RaptorGTR]

i would go for the 7 series...it's more sporty. mb tends to be for the older crowd while the bmw's tend to be for the younger crowd...then again...young people can't afford these nice cars anyways!

[MikeS]

personally, i think bmws are much better cares than mercedes. the closest thing to the bmw is definitly audi. when i was looking to get a new car (2000\2001), i did all of my research and comparisons between cars. after i was all said and done i decided to go with the m3. i know its more costly than most cars in its class, but its definitly worth every cent. honestly this one of the best cars ive ever driven. it will blow any mercedes out of the water, it handles and drives so much better. not saying that mercedes arent nice cars, but i still believe bmw is just on a much higer level. one of the few cars that mercedes makes that i really like is the s class (thought i think the 7 series is nicer and has alot more options) and sl500 (but now you're talking 100K+).

[nopheer]

I would have to say that I prefer the bmw 7 series! My jaw dropped when i first saw one of them

[jcpassingby]

The 7 series is better engineered IMO but the mercedes name tag still carries more prestigue value.

[silvers10]

Personally I like the 745i better because the Mercedes is becoming a bit too common. I see one and dismiss it as just another car. Whereas if I see a BMW 745i pull up next to me, I can't stop looking!!!

[jayplusa]

745!! CLassy ride

[ATi LoVeR]

I'm a big BMW guy, so I'll say the a Bimmer over a Benz anyday, but the E55 is one amazing car. Too bad they don't come in REAL manual... :(

[yellowjellog]

I WOULD DEFFINETLE GO WITH A BMW EASY QUESTION..........

[growleh]

BMW tbh

[slickvic]

I looked up the stats on each car. maybe this will help :)

I like the Mercedes better personally.

7 series definitely, more gadgets for he money

[krew]

7 series all the way ... bad ass all around car

[kiloso]

mercedes E320 and the CL 600 are the best, beats the 7 series by FARRRRRRR

[Jermbo]

give me the 7 series!!

[gazelle]

take a mercedes and the girls gonna take you...

[G-man]

I gotta' go with Mercedes 600CL coupe of the two.
There really is no comparison between the two cars Mercedes covers the entire spectrum from mid market and up and BMW is in the low to middle end.
( Won't even mention Mercedes' Maclaren F1...)

If you gotta' settle for a BMW the Z8.
(I don't care for the 3-7 series)


Have you seen "The Beast"? (E55) That's some power the only thing out there on the streets to compare is that new Ford GT.

The web site is awesome! (the red eyes and the roaring...)http://www.mbusa.com/brand/index.jsp

[kalonji]

Take the 7 series.

[ccm652]

I like the 7 more, ofcourse the maybach kicks all them asses

[dboxer]

If you ever come to South-Germany you have to visit the Auto-Salon Singen (http://www.auto-salon-singen.de/). It's only 70km away from my hometown and i can tell you...IT'S UNBELIEVABLE ! Outstanding cars and they're selling the original MiaviVice-Boat, even with license to ship the Bodensee (where i'm livin, aka Lake of Constance)

Have a look at it...

LOL: Some "nice" BMWs (http://www.jimmy540i.com/bmwnightmare.htm)

[DBEST4U]

I ake the Benz,, my friends moms got the new S55 amg with 493 HP,,, it flies,, and looks better than the 7,, I dont liike the back of the 7..

[dude123]

Isn't BMW's and Mercedes' a bit old as a status symbol? Some years ago you where at the top when you drove these weels, bot nowadays..?

I think so

[lomna]

definitely 7 series...... but what happened to the audi a8, and the lexus ls430? consider them too

[prax]

They're bothe pretty nice. Which one do think will last longer?

[meow811]

I like very much new audi a8 coz i've an a4 turbo so also bmw7 is a good "big" veichle.

[mr24ev]

how about the new 645Ci? I was looking at one of them, and when you lift the trunk and look at it, it looks like a porsche 911 carrera... hehe... they're not bad from the front...

[elit]

BMW

[mikei]

760Li sitting on chrome. V12 baby, cant knock it, everyone drives a mercedes, you're over them...

[germattz]

I would buy both cars ;)

[mambolau]

bm

[rebelcdr]

bmw

[mach330]

if you're just comparing the S-class vs. the 7, then i would go with the 7. the S-class is not as modern. i wonder what the new S class will look like tho.

[rp2k2]

7 series , there something else, i would take that over a benz any day
