Compare: 1) overall performance 2) styling 3) power & handling 4) price and key options to get

Mercedes and BMW in my opinion can not be compared. Most of the cars that MB makes are 100% tuned for luxery. Not sporty. BMW, is a performance car. Different tastes. If you want a performance vehicle, Then BMW. But if you want a smooth ride and don't like bumps, then get the MB.

I work for a rental car company and having driven both id suggest the 750i. Both cars are pretty dam quick and compare very close from bumper to bumper. The 750 does catch more attention and rides sportier. The S500 is also nice but its more of a family wagon if ya get wat i mean. In the end the 750i retains more of its value if u were to sell it in the end.

appalling depreciation on the BMW ! Mercedes is the class saloon ...far better looking than , "oh we forgot to style the rear end" BMW

You need sat nav and leather!
