Aaronlkl Supersonic November 24, 2014 Share November 24, 2014 (edited) My pick would be BMW cos 80% of BMW models offers a proper manual gearbox . Merc on the other hand makes great looking quality cars however 80% of its models comes standard in those stupid flappy paddle gearbox!

Alim 1st Gear November 24, 2014 Share November 24, 2014 (edited) Let the numbers speak for itself... Take away Toyota/Lexus, Merc outsold BMW in 2013. 2011 & 2012 BMW was No.1, I wonder if they can wrestle the No.1 spot from Merc in 2014, I really doubt so.

Strudel- 1st Gear November 24, 2014 Share November 24, 2014 The newer Merc really look good imo. I would go with the BMW option as I find they're more of a driver's car. Then again I wouldnt mind a new Merc if the price was lower. Just cruise around and enjoy the comfort. Interior of Merc does look better than BMW though.

Baal Supersonic November 24, 2014 Share November 24, 2014 - On SUV, i must say that my choice for BMW is largely fuelled by X6. That armored vehicle look very satki. But again its a lifestyle SUV, Understand the rear is not good for adults.- For A Vs 1, I take 1 as its IL6 and 8AT. (AMG Vs M135) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadX Moderator November 24, 2014 Share November 24, 2014 having been in both camps and I still go for BMW. I went for the driving course for MERC, BMW, Porsche etc, and got to try most models in the BMW/MERC provided Merc tops it all in the comfort area and totally feel sedated. However, the roundel engages me more as a driver and the throttle response and full works does give me that 'fun' factor. I must say though the merc has improved lots and the gaps are closing in, but for now at least, BMW still gets my vote! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
