Mercedes will continue to provide a more luxury focused experience, whereas BMW will focus on driving dynamics. It's good to have a choice. Mercedes needs to fix quality and finish on the interior whereas BMW needs to consolidate a design language and prove their cars will last for more than 5 years. It's more often to see old mercedes than bmw's on the roads.great video, thanks.
BMW reliability has skyrocketed as of late, so I think they already working on that. And they recently made their lead design swap over to Rolls Royce, so I hope their designs will improve soon too. Cause if it wasn't for the design really BMW wouldve washed the floor with Mercedes here. Rly disappointed in interior quality on Mercedes as of late, they feel rly cheap especially if not trimmed out.
I bought the bmw 760e over the Merc in the uk. I’ve just been informed by bmw there’s a recall on the car which involves removing the dashboard. There’s no way the technicians can take the dash out and put it back together again. As always bmw customer service have washed their hands from this problem and the dealer who is Miles away just want me to take it to any local dealer. So I can see a very big problem coming. So please before buying the bmw or any other bmw please check if it’s on a recall o know X5’s and some x7 d are also on a recall and more than 1.5 million cars worldwide. Bmw don’t want the cars back. There’s just no quality control any more. This car wasn’t cheap either. It was approx £140k Please do your research with buying a new bmw.
For some reason that 7 series is starting to grow on me. Has something of a Rolls Royce squarish vibe to it, whils the merc is more flowing. The bmw imo looks way more distinguishable whilst the S class, somebody that doesn't really now what it is could think its a c class or and e. Wasn't it like announced too that bmw's design lead is swapping over to rolls royce?
Mercedes is just for a gentleman and people who want to have top luxury and top comfort, bmw for luxury as well but more sportier, its down to a personal choice as always
So conservative. Bangle butt E65 745i 1st time BMW outsold them & have been #1 global premium ever since. Only S-Class I've been in was a cab, have yet to ride in 7er (& given size & price of i7 probably never will).
Ironically BMW hired '60's Mercedes designer Paul Bracq (who gave them their entire corporate look, from pagoda SL roadster to Pullman 600 limo) to create original 1 sausage 3 sizes 3, 5, 6, 7.
Hi Thomas, the new BMW is hideous looking. I will choose the S Class every time over the ugly Bimmer. I do not care for the big screens in the S Class. I am enjoying my 2008 S550 very much. It has many high tech options....but no turbo and its still very spacious and luxurious.
For e class and 5 series, I would go e class, because most people in that class are looking for style and classic, old people. Gle and x5, I would go x5, they are both good tho being 80k unlike the Audis being 130k. S class and 7 series, family car would go 7 series and company car would go s class. C class and 3 series, both cheaper than Audi and cheap, doesn’t matter which one. X3 and glc are both under 50k, very cheap for good quality. Audi’s q4 and q5 are 78k and 85k, too expensive.
I feel like modern BMWs are overhated. They are great cars, even with their controversial styling. Mercedes is more settled with their styling, aside from the EQ sedans they are more evolutionary and not radical. And generally they know their stuff with luxury cars as well. I'd say with modern luxury cars it's mostly a matter of taste. None of them are a bad choice, if we take money out of the equation (you shouldn't buy them anyway if you don't want to lose a lot of money) However in terms of strategy it seems BMW is a bit more successful at the moment, but that can always change - both brands had their highs and lows. If Mercedes gets better with for example interior quality (which it seems they probably already did) and gets their EV sales up then they are pretty much on par again I'd say.
VERY different companies, world's largest truck manufacturer made luxury sedans while motorcycle manufacturer smaller upstart challenger who awoke sleeping giant from their slumber (Daimler had to buy independent tuner AMG from former employees to compete with M, now most manufacturers have performance divisions, but it was small independent who kick-started it). This century BMW have doubled volume on Spartanburg X crossovers, now watch them do it again on EV. Oh, & you're right about over-hated, record sales & 20X that # trolls🐌.

It’s so disappointing the benchmark setters 7 series and S class do not offer beautiful elegant dash designs with tactile buttons. This screen craze is so boring and cheap like a corporate office. Soulless. I appreciate it might be easier to design and cost effective but it really, really detracts from the driving experience and what these designers offer trickles down to ordinary vehicles so they have a responsibility to truly be custodians of excellence and craftsmanship. I hope this horrible trends ends soon. No one wants this.
Mercedes will get my money! Elegance inside and out is important for me. I miss buttons for most common functions and haptic feedback as MBUX is not a perfect solution as a do everything UI.
Well interior quality has been an all time low since the w223 , much like how the w220 is a step backwards in that department, personally having a w221 and w222 makes me feel better than jumping to the w223
Its funny how he said beauty is subjective with every comparison but then when he compared 3 series with C class he said 3 series looks better 😂😂😂 how much is bmw pay u my "say no to animal skin material" dude. this one was obviously bmw propaganda
Right caus u dont agree to smth you accuse people of something which has nothing to do with it. I aint getting no money from BMW and would you think they d pay for a result where they dont always win?
Current BMW exterior designs are hideous and vulgar. Build quality and reliability on both brands are bottom of the tier list. BMW and Mercedes are cars that you lease for 2 or 3 years maximum, and move on to the next car before they break down on you. At least Mercedes looks nicer on the outside.
BMW reliability is all time high especially the ones using the B58 engine, that engine is as much as a 2JZ in terms of durability and tunability, I do own a w221 and w222, which their interior quality and material are better than the w223
Interiors now are amazing with their use of materials and design (when it’s not all covered in piano black) and powertrains more refined but my god, the exteriors are just getting worse and worse.
@@patrickmike2524 I see their design themes being a function of cost cutting; not minimalism. By getting rid of hard buttons, they save on manufacturing costs and have a sly back door way of making more things like auto hold and heated seats a subscription option. It is despicable

Yes indeed
Even though I'm a BMW guy, I have a mixed review - winners IMO: S class, 5 series, C class & 3 series, X5 and X3.
same with me, i would choose S class, 5 series, 3 series, X5 and X3/ GLC.
Ah yes, let me watch a review between cars that maybe I could afford in ten years on the used car market 😅
BMW X5 has surprisingly cramped rear seat legroom.
S Class > 7 Series
5 Series > E Class
3 Series > C Class
4 Series > CLE
X5 > GLE
X3 > GLC
Both lovely cars. But 7 series for me
My choice would be S-class, 5 series, 3 Series, X5 and X3/ GLC.
S-class > 7
E-class > 5
C-class > 3
X5 > GLE
GLC > x3
Can you compare 7 Series with new panamera with active ride?
BMW only has to screw up the X5 and it will be a complete failure.
Mercedes is just for a gentleman and people who want to have top luxury and top comfort, bmw for luxury as well but more sportier, its down to a personal choice as always
Mercedes looks always better. More elegant and timeless design.

Well safe to say the w223 is a step backwards in interior quality overall, the materials in comparison to w221 and w222, and many have been saying it
To...mas on the case again like Matlock

Proud owner of 2023 GLC. Super comfortable and great performance thus far. I love the ambience and infotainment design which is much superior to X3.

Mercedes interior quality in general is quite poor nowadays…
BMW better engineering, engines and drive. Mercedes far better looking. Both full of cheap plastics in newer models but bmw has gone more down
Well B58 engine of BMW is a dealbreaker,tunable and durable as the famed Toyota 2JZ which fans can’t cope
