Is bmw better than mercedes?

How come in general, people act like Mercedes is better than BMW?

  • This is the age old question: BMW VS Mercedes. My family has owned both & I can honestly say BMW smokes Mercedes as far as driving pleasure is concerned. Mercedes are too uptight feeling to me and they feel like they're "choking". Now, their interior is nice & they do come up with some pretty models i.e. a white 2006 CLS 550 AMG. In my experience though, BMW handles roads, curves & steering much, much better. BMW's have a fun spirit about them, their engines sound better/feel better and they perform pure driving pleasure compared to most Benz. I'm just curious how this all started and what BMW/MERCEDES people think about it. I understand it all can come down to taste & look categories. And everyone likes different cars. You have Bimmer people, Benz People, Lexus people, ect. This is probably a stupid question to have asked ... but I think BMW is unjustified often. And it saddens me because they're so much more fun to drive and their engine's are built so much better than most Mercedes.

  • Answer:

    Both Manufacturers produce first class cars. I prefer Mercedes-Benz but B.M.W's are also great cars to drive. I think the answer to this question is.....Horses for Courses!

So, when you say that "BMW smokes Mercedes" you are not acting like BMW is better than Mercedes? You are objective and knowledgeable, but Mercedes people are just "acting strangely..."

Because it is their opinion, much like you're stating your opinion when you say that BMW is better than Mercedes. It's the same battle as Ford vs. Chevy or Lexus vs. Infiniti. You can argue it thousands of ways but in the end, it's still an opinion-based argument and there is no outright better car/make. There is only the right choice for the individual buyer ( and isn't that what makes the open marketplace great in the first place, the fact that you do have so many great choices... ).

They are all nice cars...I personally like the star on the mercedes, I guess I'm a girly girl or something...

its because of what Mercedes use to be they use to be last word in build quality and reliability even parallel and sometimes superior to a Rolls Royce. However not to long ago the big bosses at Mercedes decided that there cars were needlessly over engineered and they cut back a lot. But they kept that image of there enourmsly expensive cars the image that there cars were driven exclusively by the rich and the powerful.

They are different types of cars. A Mercedes will generally have newer technology and better luxury features while the BMW is geared towards driving dynamics. It just depends on what you prefer most. I personally go for the happy middle ground with Audi.
