    Mercedes stands for perfection.

    Alright, I have noticed that I am not the only one who might be thinking this. Since I have been to Germany, I have gotten the opportunity to drive a verity of cars and the winner is clear, Mercedes. BMW and Audi don?t match it.

          BMW is more driver's car.

            Mercedes, BMW, and Audi are all in different "classes".. Can't really compare them straight up.

            Have you driven the Audi S8?

              Well BMW does put in writing "the ultimate driving machine" my vote is BMW .... I suppose that if you can prove that some drives better than a BMW you'd be rich for them fals advertising......

                Volante, win? In speed or top speed? Maybe?

                C-Class VS 3 Series BMW:

                BMW doesn?t have cup holders
                Parking sensors only at the rear
                No steering wheel controls for onboard computer
                BMW comes with a old Navigation system
                Lights are not turned on and off auto
                BMW Steering is a lot harder (personal preference)

                I am sure I could find more, and most of these are most likely options but I believe you get more from Mercedes for your euro (dollar) then from BMW.

                          I was always opposed to Mercedes. Dunno, I just didn't like the kind of people who drove them or something. But some years ago my dad bought a second-hand one, and it's just fucking unbelievable...that thing is almost 20 years old now, and it still sounds, feels and handles like a brand-new car. Not a rattle, not a squeek. Top quality.

                                BMW doesn?t have cup holders
                                they are under the arm rest. who needs a cup holder? cars didnt have cupholders for like 70 years

                                Parking sensors only at the rear
                                I dunno wtf a parking sensor is... I use mirrors

                                No steering wheel controls for onboard computer
                                mine has steering wheel controls for stereo, cruise control, and I forgot what else. Dunno why you would need to control the onboard computer

                                BMW comes with a old Navigation system
                                I guess an old BMW would. I prefer not to have a nav system, its just an expensive gimmick. I like onboard nav in my airplane, but I pretty much know my way around town when I'm driving my car.

                                Lights are not turned on and off auto
                                Mine does. Thats what the sensor on the dash is for

                                BMW Steering is a lot harder (personal preference)
                                Most people prefer to "feel" the road a little. But like you said, personal preference

                                I hardly ever drive my BMW much, its mostly my wife's car. I've gotten to wear cars do not excite me anymore. I gonna buy a new bike this weekend, just havent decided which one to get yet.

                                  Im from Europe, ant both BMW, Audi and Mercedes are cares that
                                  I have driven and owned

                                  The list:
                                  MB 190 2,3
                                  MB 190 2,5 16v Evolution II
                                  MB E280
                                  MB S420 AMG

                                  Audi 90 Cupe
                                  Audi 200 Turbo
                                  Audi A6 Avant Quartro

                                  BMW 325
                                  BMW M5


                                  Mercedes wins. Audi have better road preformance, Bmw looks cool but you cant get the power down on the street the same way Audi does ( I had to get 3 part suspention kit on the M5 before it wa safe to push 105%)
                                  The mercedes might not be the fastest, but if you have ever owned one in more than 3 months, you know what I mean when I say its a winner.

                                  Right now I have a old Volvo740 Turbo on the road, but im rebuilding a 96 Toyota Supra - full HKS kit - it will be a road monster when its done in about a year or so - no rush

                                    I've had Benz's more than any other car. Had one Beamer and it was crap in comparison. The Benz's are like tanks. I had a 450 sedan that went to 200K miles and was still running like it was just off the showroom floor.

                                    The only thing I don't like now is I think Mercedes has lost the classic look their older model cars had. You could always tell a Mercedes instantly, it was so distinct. Now the sedans look like a lot of other high end sedans.

                                    I stopped liking SL's after they putzed that design up. I had a 560SL that rocked like a sports car should. Then got the new style SL after that and it felt so sedate in comparison. You couldn't feel the road as much. It got too luxurious.

                                    But they are the best engineered and built cars still in my opinion. And if you take good care of them they last forever.

                                        agreed, i have a '97 S320 LWB now with 100K miles that drives like brand new. the S class cars are the best i've ever owned, and i used to be in the auto business. nothing better on the road IMO

                                            Does anyone really use the parking sensors?
                                            I have a Mercedes which is 18 years old, and I'm going to sell it. The reason? I want a newer Mercedes. And ONLY Mercedes.
                                            Heard enough problems about the BMWs from a guy who owns 535. Audi is good, but I like Mercedes more

                                              the parktronic system actually works well. even if our dog runs in front (or back) of the car while pulling out of the driveway it alerts you.

                                              and it gives visual and audio info about how close the thing is to the car---like the edge of a bumper, or the edge of your garage door.

                                              doesn't sound like much, but for city driving it really does keep your car from getting scratched.

                                                ok lets see.
                                                BMW has better handling than Mercedes
                                                BMW builds better engines than Mercedes
                                                BMW stops faster than Mercedes.

                                                hmmmm BMW has cupholders, you can access onboard computer from stering wheel.

                                                Read the car news, Mercedes is fucking up with their Navigation system.

                                                If you want a mean machine on the road get a BMW, if you want to cruize down the street get a Mercedes.

                                                      And that's supposed to be a sports car I believe? The Chevy Cavalier looks more aggresive than that. That looks like something my mom would drive.

                                                        I went to see the new 2004 A8 today at my Audi delearship... and wow! It's a very impressive car The navigation system just rocks! Everything in the car is controlled by the multimedia monitor (LCD screen) and it's pretty slick

                                                        I never tried the navigation system in Mercedes - but this one has some wicked features! i wanted to go at the ATM and the computer listed all ATMs around, and I chose the ATM i wanted to go, and the car drew the route and stuff... It does the same things for restaurants, gas station etc... Plus it's on a DVD (Mercedes and BMW's system works with CDROM i think)

                                                        The only other navigation system i tried was in my 1999 BMW 7 series, and the system didn't have these features.

                                                        I was really impressed by the new A8 - and the price is decent. Its start at $70k for a 350hp luxury car

                                                          BMW's navs are DVD now. And its a driver's car for sure, just try getting a Benz in stick and you will see. Handling is better, performance is better, but ride quality is stiffer, as it should be since it's focused on performance over luxury. And yes some of it is getting dated compared to the newest Benz but dont forget that the new 5-series is coming out this summer and that by 2005 summer the new 3-series and 3-series coupes which will be numbered as 4-series will be coming out.

Handling is better, performance is better, but ride quality is stiffer, as it should be since it's focused on performance over luxury. And yes some of it is getting dated compared to the newest Benz but dont forget that the new 5-series is coming out this summer and that by 2005 summer the new 3-series and 3-series coupes which will be numbered as 4-series will be coming out.

                                                                            1. there is not Benz in stick (except C Kompressor hatch)
                                                                            2. BENZ has shitty handling and stopping power. Try BMW and you will see the difference. (new AMG are good streight line racers though)
