Re: Bmw Vs Mercedes
Fred,
All new BMW's come with free maintenance for the length of the warranty which is 4yrs/50k miles. Make sure you go back to the dealer and get your free oil changes,air filters,polen filters, complete brake jobs and even wiper inserts. For some reason BMW's do use alot of light bulbs. Those are all covered under warranty as well, just a pain to go to the dealer just for that. If you ever have any major issues let me know if I can help. I manage a BMW service/parts operation.

Re: Bmw Vs Mercedes
is somebody trying to take our fun away as "we" know it? It gets harder and harder to have fun anymore. I thank the ACLU, Greenies, Tort lawyers and liberals in general. Soon a ban on smiling, ever see a liberal smile, ie Chuck Shumer? Did they offer a M5 with an auto trans? Do you guys think a E55 can be a daily driver for the wife? |

M5 --- HP (505) TQ (364) E55 -- HP (469) TQ (516) E55 AMG-- 469 HP supercharged V-8 CL55 AMG--493 HP supercharged V-8 SL55 AMG-- 510 HP supercharged V-8 SL55 AMG-- 510 HP supercharged V-8 and THE KING.... SL65 AMG 604 HP (738 lb-ft) twin-turbocharged V-12 Although I like both, my personal opinion is that BMW doesn't have anything on the AMG Mercedes. BMW does NOT have an answer for the AMG 604HP monster. I have been in one and it is absolutely brutal and neck snapping to say the least. the benz will take it off the line(a hood length or so), but the M5 passes and pulls away as speed increases. Smoked the benz on the road course. Road and track got the M5 and M6 to hit 60 in 4.1 sec. With an m5 1/4 of 12.4 http://www.roadandtrack.com/article....&page_number=1 |

http://www.roadandtrack.com/article....&page_number=1 I don't think so!! Your article doesn't say anything about beating the E55AMG............but these articles says the E55 is faster :D http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...omparison.html http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w211...vs-06-bmw.html They are actually so close in speed it's probably a driver that can make the difference. The Benz is hands down better looking BMW still has NO answer for the SL65 AMG (604hP montster) |

Re: Bmw Vs Mercedes
My wife has a '03 745i that is coming off lease next month. We have been looking at the '06 750i and 545i and the Mercedes CLS 500 and S and E series. We have been driving these cars about every other weekend for a couple of months at different dealers. To us the Mercedes interior is not as nice as the BMW's. The Mercedes now have a very light plastic feel to them. The wood trim, leather, knobs and switches in the Mercedes feel very light and plastic were as the BMW wood trim is super nice upscale and the BMW interior is also more solid. 2 of the CLS cars had dash rattles. The BMW's seem to have more pep, drive nicer and have a better feel than today's Mercedes.
After all that test driving she now wants a new Porsche Carrera (997) S Cab! :eek: :drink: |
