LOL! give me one other thing then the roof-thingy... :roll:
like the S-Class? LOL! the S is SO (!) old, the 7 is x10 better and let not talk innovative... cause the 7 is right up there...
the 6, the Z8, the Z4 (whole new car, unlike SLK..) X3, 1 series (abut thats just wrong IMO..) M5....
merc is MUCH MUCH more conservative then BMW... i'm not saying Merc suck.. but when it comes to innovative BMW is way a head!
ah.. and when it comes to driving pleasure as well

Wrong, believe me Merc will sell more S classes than Bmw will ever sell 7 :roll: and why is that  :roll: Its a little bit understandable, when you know Merc has more of these$$$$, and the Z8 isn't even that good, as I remeber not much of those where sold.
BENZ rules bmw

i didn't say the Z8 was great.. its an OK+ car.. nothing more..lol! and as to the number of Z8 sold.. BMW said they will ONLY sell XXXX of them (i dont remember how many...) and yeah merc will sell more S cause OLD ppl are more conservative then young ppl.. and most ppl buying these kind of cars are old.. (most.. not all..)
but this is not a "who makes better car" question (BMW), its who's more innovative, and thats LOUD AND CLEAR, BMW

I agree with Erez_Avital
sure merc has a lot of technologie but there cars are for old, rich, and fat guys who cant handle a manual transmission
Maybe the mercs are more innvative but they build cars that become more discounted from the road every year cause a computer controls everything
bmw makes are car for a real car lover who love to drive
BMW.

What are you talking about? BMW is producing fantastic cars right now with great engines and innovative technology. The i drive which had been heavily criticised by the press when it first came out has been working out well recently. People just needed a little bit more time to adjust.The new s class which will replace the existing will have a similar system like the one used by BMW, simply BMW brings us the future of the automobiles now. The first V12 engine with direct injection was made by bmw,the headlights that change angles according to the steering wheel is another innovation and there are plenty more. The new m5 is just going to be the king of the super fast executive saloons. Just compare the v10 high reving engine of BMW with the easy solution of installing a compressor or a turbo,i cant understand why you say that mercedes is two levels above BMW. The new 6 coupe is a great car, in evo or car i read an article where they prefered it from a sl500. Lets not talk about SUVs 8)

If you consider bmws performance cars what is a porsche or a ferrari, what BMW does is to mix luxury with performance and driving pleasure. As far as luxury is concerned BMW is among the best in the automotive industry, if you dont see that i think you should try driving a 7 series or a 5 series. If you ve been in one of these cars then you are biassed towards BMW.
