[@dannyvafa3639]

Have you ever owned either vehicle? The last 7 series was one of the most unreliable vehicles in history and they were handing them out for $799 per month leases. The new 7 series has the ugliest style of any vehicle on the road. That is because Hyundai hired all BMW's designers play approximately 5 years ago. There is no coincidence as to why Hyundai's (which is a terrible brand and I dislike) look better and BMWs look worst. If you have owned or simply test-driven these cars, you would go with the S-Class any day even though the BMW is 2 years newer. The S-Class has defined luxury, sophistication, technology and has said the bar for competitors for over nine generations. It's still going strong and the current S-Class blows out the 7 series after BMW had two years to copy the 7 class as well

[@alexmaina6960]

Bmw has surprisingly punched above it's" luxury weight" in this class..more luxurious materials inside, comfier seats..and something I also appreciate about the 7 is bmw's courage to depart from traditional looks & venture into the unknown coz that look is definitely polarizing but is growing on me, looks Uber cool in that wine red especially the front end. Mercedes has always held the weight in this strata of luxury but even watching the video you honestly feel bmw is landing more blows..what not with that theatre screen, softer closing doors& a boot with a better thud sound, I'll definitely choose the bimmer. Though I still find the overall look Abit uncohesive. The bmw side profile silhouette has a closer relationship with rolls Royce esp the wide boxy fenders& shoulders. I personally feel bmw put a tad more effort & time in the design of this new 7series model beating Mercedes Benz clear but the market won't reflect this result..folks will still buy smercs more convincingly..I cross my fingers n hope bmw strikes more blows in the sales department too

[@autogefuehl]

good analysis

[@SpaghettiKillah]

For the most part, the S Class in Europe is sold to companies who run luxury fleet catering the rich landing at the various private airports around EU, and 98% choose the S Class because of the *PERFECTLY PREDICTABLE* and reasonable running cost. I mean at Mercedes you already know how much you'll spend up to 200k kms before you buy it! At Bmw you *NEVER* know how much the regular maintenance is, wildly jumping numbers, insanely expensive parts. In Italy for example at Mercedes we pay 55 €+ VTA / hr at the dealer. Often at Bmw I was charged 100€ / hr. Overall the maintenance of a 7 Series compared to a S Class could cost you + 50% to 100% more. The choice becomes obvious.

@@questionyourself718 Then you really ought to learn from the use of that word. Of course it can be used for a car - a 7 Series BMW that looks like a beaver with squinty eyes, of course not. It has none. BMW is stuck in old mechanicals and design - maybe they’re short on development capacity. The Mercedes S class is the unrivaled king of executive sedans. Period. Cars like the 7 series and the Audi A8 are nice, but they really don’t compete with the S class, as much as they’d like. Sorry, that’s just the way it is.

[@questionyourself718]

@@pacmanc8103 You claiming the S-class is King when it lost against the 7 Series in Multiple Tests is too funny 😅 You are living in a Mercedes Fanboy Dreamworld.

[@harubartos4054]

I have the new i7 and it easily beats the S class. The majority of people on here do not have any taste hence why most people cannot afford the 7 series or the S class and blatantly choose the S class because it's a Mercedes. Any true luxury connoisseur knows that the 7 is superior since it a physically taller car, almost up to crossover SUV height. This is one of the key points of a full-size luxury sedan and only two car manufactures Rolls-Royce and Bentley were able to do this, now BMW has proven their superior design with the new 7, and the S class remains looking like a tiny car since its low.

[@seansiew5629]

It made the S class look like an old lady's car. This one felt sporty, tough, and masculine, as well as super luxurious. I've always wanted an S class, but for some reason always end up with a BMW.

w223 has now a lot of hate for the way it drives, the only upgrade that it has over its predecessor is just interior comfort, ride quality just went down and handles more like a BMW than a Mercedes

As a BMW driver I would choose in this case ( or class) just from the looks alone the Mercedes. Beautiful. Just the front, the proportions of the grill and the frontlights are much more in balance. From the side the BMW looks better but that can also have to do with the bigger wheels that look more in proportion. But then again the back the Mercedes looks much more balanced, where the back of the BMW looks like a front instead of a backside. The color, my taste, the Mercedes is really perfect, although the BMW also not bad. From the inside both cars look extremely beautiful , although the horizontal oriented BMW screens are for me more pleasant to watch then the vertical organized Mercedes screen.

[@questionyourself718]

Imo the Mercedes is better from Outside but the BMW better from the Inside. Since you spent most time inside a car driving it my choice would be probably the BMW..

I owned a 2019 BMW 3 series (manual transmission) and well as a 2019 Mercedes Benz C300. I LOVED the sporty handing of the BMW but after any drive over 90 minutes, my lower back was stiff. However, this did not occur with the C300. Even though I am a MB fan first, I would LOVE to get another BMW but I am wary that I will not be comfortable after long drives.

[@Asherrzzx_]

If you compared both Legends of today 7 Series and S Class, both have definitely come so much closer in overall driving dynamics and surprisingly from Merc which is cornering ability is comparable to a BMW without compromising on overall ride comfort. I will still go for the Merc simply because of it's timeless shape and not BMW which looks bigger and more imposing and boxy, just not a fan of the current generation looks and of course those dreadful looking grills.

[@seansiew5629]

Well if entering a workshop often isn’t a problem for you then take the S class, if you do not care about people accusing you of having no taste then the 7 series is the pick here

[@tweston315]

BMW has slapped the world in the face and said " Shut up and respect how we dare to leave the 1980's behind with design!" The 7 series is light-years ahead of the granny S Class. I currently have a 540i and I love it. Hopefully I'll get a new 7 series in a few years. I test drove a Mercedes the day I went to purchase a car and I was not impressed at all. But then I test drove the Ultimate Driving Machine, and I was smiling ear to ear like a kid on Christmas morning 😁.

[@ZetaReticuli_1]

Bmw exterior design is such a fail. Mercedes wins by miles honestly.

[@seansiew5629]

To you yes, but for those want to make a statement, the 7 series by far is a more luxurious car compared to the cheap plasticky interior of the S class, and I own a w221 and w222, which both S classes looked far better than the new one

@autogefuehl I'm interested whether the 7er has the Executive Drive Pro with the active rollbars and the road reading suspension and whether the S class got the magic acitve body control. Idk why BMW chose to give low spec 7er, but i guess they just got it in stock. Can't wait to see the 750e and 760e in action still nowhere to be seen neither review nor acceleration.

Great job Thomas as always! I really love BMW's. I think they are the best all around luxury brand in the world. But lately they messed up their exterior design in some models. And I mean the M3 the M4 with the huge peculiar grill and now this strange front side in their 7 series flagship. In my opinion, a car, let alone a car at this level, should instantly give the impression that is beautiful once you see it and not make you doubt about it. Different is not cool,when is not beautiful. It's just weird.

I bought a blue 4 wheel drive X 5 in April and love it. Mercedes didn’t have any 23 or 24 inventory in hand, didn’t expect any for several months and then only white rear wheel drives (not 4 wheel drives). With our mountainous/hilly roads and occasional bad weather a 4 wheel drive is needed and white vehicles are too common and boring. And I like the futuristic tech in Audis and BMWs….
