Definitely think the Merc looks dope and really luxurious from the inside but honestly I would choose BMW. Merc as a brand and across most of their cars have lost a lot of the reliability they used to have while BMW is getting better esp with the B58s. I also dont like the huge iPad on the inside of the Merc and know they rattle quite a bit. Ofc the BMW grille has many mixed opinions but I think overall as a package and as a daily driver I would go with the M440i.

Wouldn’t the progression up in power/performance from the m440i be the m4? You said the m2, which is a smaller car. But a screamer.
@BrosFOURRSpeed3 ай бұрын
Depends on how you look at it. Obviously the M4 is the next step up form the M440. However similar price point to the M440 you can get the M2which has M4 performance. The base M4 and an M2 are practically the same car now and yet M2 is cheaper

First of all, you are not comparing apples to apples (M40i to AMG 53 not 450), and even if you did, the BMW would be more fun and engaging (for a sports car) because with this model, they made it ride more comfortably than the last-gen C Coupe but harsher than the E Coupe, so it doesn’t know if it wants to be a sports car or a GT car. Second, you mentioned that the Merc doesn’t have plastic on the lower side of the door, which is incorrect. Plus, the materials have worsened over the years with Mercedes. Don’t get me wrong, it has great design and looks very luxurious, but the luxury stops when you touch anything because everything squeaks. Also, the BMW is built sturdier. So, I think if you want a show-off car that just looks nice, go for the Merc. If you want quality, sportiness from your sports car, and a lower price, I would choose the BMW over the Merc at any price range.

@@BrosFOURRSpeed we can respectfully agree to disagree. Since BMW lie about there power numbers. When on dyno M440i make around 430+ horsepower, which leans closer to the AMG 53 443 hp.

BMW just makes better cars. I'm a m440i owner. The car puts down 400 hp to the ground when dyno. BMW severely underrated the power of the B58.
