The Bmw felt more nimble and clearly had stronger brakes and a little crisper shifting points.The MB felt faster to accelerate to freeway speeds..and took bumps better.Both had topend sound systems.. On the little bit of snow we have the MB was superior in acceleration from a dead stop.Under full pedal the MB never spun the tires,,where the BMW did..and the antislip kicked in several times.
The dash layout on the BMW is almost identical to my 330,which i like..the MB is somewhat retro in its controls..Overall comfort and ride goes to the MB...clearly
I could go on..but noone probably really cares anyhow..so to sum it...I am going with the MB this time around..and I will enjoy the M3 for my new fun car when it arrives in early FEB.

Choosing between ML350 and X5 3.0? Both are low-end in their respective line-up but ML sounds better... cause 3.0 X5 has no extras and a weak engine for an SUV unlike MB's 3.5 V6.
