Recently bought 07 plate S350. 10% of new price. Knowing Mercs, it will need expensive spares from time to time, but worth the expenditure for the sheer pleasure of driving it. And it puts smiles on my passengers, too! I'm now too spoilt to conceive of driving anything else.

@@josmau12 Owing to changed circumstances I parted with it a year ago. A pal wanted it. As far as I know it is running well. Finding parking spaces big enough was a problem as I live in a town centre. Currently have no need for such a vehicle and couldn't bear to see it unused for weeks at a time. Such is life.

I own 2001 740i now and my first car was a 89 Mercedes 300SEL.I've been in the Used car buisness and have experienced several models of both brands.But there's not much you can do to disguise driving performance.What you see is what you get BMW sacrifices a tad bit on the looks for performance while Mercedes gives you good looks while sacrificing a tad bit on the performance that simple.Both well balanced brands

I bought my S350 from 2009 with 48000km for 30K euros. After putting 100000km on it, i did not spend one penny on extra repairs. Only regular maintenance which was not very expensive. It runs beautifully, everything still works and i still make excuses to my wife to go for a ride. Best buy i ever did!

BMW is normally more performance based dominating in handling,accleration,and braking but tends to have a firmer ride but Mercedes is a little bit more luxury based specializing in a smooth ride,gadgets and gizmos,and share exteriors and interiors. Typically but you have to respect both cars as true sports luxury vehicles

I love the 7 series, I mean I got one, but I like the S class as well. But don't bother commenting that the 7 is better on an S class video, its pointless, just get negative remarks back and the same happens when you say that about the S class on a 7 series video. Lets just stop the arguments and say that both of these are a hell of a lot nice than anything else driving on the road.

Godfather plus Active Body Control/Magic Body Control even better than Airmatic suspension, when it is all about technology. :) And the nice bigger V8 and V12 motors and smaller but still nice V6 engines plus the best automatic transmissions with torque converter lockup ever. Since the 5G-Tronic and later 7G-Tronic. :) Love it. Plus the racing genes since the 190E W201 (which won so many times the German DTM, Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaften = German Turing Car Championships) cars, also called Babybenz in Germany and the predecessor of the C-Class, with its nice multi-link rear suspension with 5 links. Still today the best of the best. Plus the past later 60’s Mercedes 300 SL Roadster (W 198) models with later light weight in-line 6 aluminium motors. All the nice V8 and V12 and in line 8 and 12 cylinder and more cylinder engines for cars and planes in the entire Mercedes-Benz history and also direct fuel injection on cars like the 300 SL Gullwing (W 198) and Roadster (W 198 II) in the 50’s and 60’s and on other cars like the Uhlenhaut coupe with in-line 8 cylinder motor and the all mighty M100 V8 on the Mercedes-Benz 600 (W 100) and Mercedes-Benz 350 SEL 6.3 (W 109) and 450 SEL 6.9 (W 116) motor. 😉😏👍 Plus all the formula one and test cars from Daimler-Benz/Mercedes-Benz, it is still today one of the most advanced and luxurious car brands in the world.

Ric F I love Mercedes I own 3 of them but Cops in SA Are using BMW just because of the flight engine in it. Most criminals are using cause of its speed to compete with a BMW you need the same vehicle but Mercedes the king of the motor industry is for legends if you for honour and comfort you deserve a Merc but if you need speed disrespect and crime BMW is the choice always remember that every BMW part can fit into any BMW vehicle irrespective of year moddle type and size thus driving a BM may mean that you are a criminal or either e you are a victim of crime driving a BM means you are a participant of crime

Excellent Review : With the £300,000+ Rolls Royce Phantom EWB and entry level car, it certainly begs the question "Does one really need to spend this much money?". If one has unlimited financial resources (OK, a billionaire) maybe, anyway the new car (building on the already attractive previous model) is not far off £70,000 for the entry level, it's definitely one to have if one wants to spoil themselves silly!.

The foot parking brake has never been in the way for me / family. I can only see if being a problem if you're 300 pounds +, where your legs might start hitting it. No rearwindow wipers, what? Two things, are they needed on this car? Not really. Water either slides down or doesn't hit the window. However if you need it, there's one hidden under the bootlid that shows up when you want it to. Neat.

Notice you only talked about the looks, not the dynamics of the car... Build quality.... Efficiency.... The X series is quite different as it goes , but durr its gonna be similar, BMW has a trademark look, and they're not gonna stray too far from perfection. The X5 and X3 have won many prestigious awards, like best car in class for 2 years in a row. Proper, righteous awards. Also the 7 series does kind of looks like a bigger 5 series, a more elegant, refined one, with very different headlights

But they aren't the best. And BMW is making a next gen 7 series with the s class firmly set in its sights, I think BMW will really try to improve the 7 series this time around. The new 2014 S class is probably great but its looks are iffy and the interior is so old fashioned, they are dragging out the past, the new screens are a welcomed bonus but the old fashioned layout and styling is unsightly. Also you sure do like 'comfort' and 'quiet' a bit to much for a guy with a Lamborghini Picture :D

I own C200, S350, ML350, SL350, and CLS63AMG. I really feel that you do not own a single piece of Merc in your garage, so let me know and I can give you one of mine. In conclusion, if you cant afford any Merc, think carefully before you post rather than making yourself looks like a complete IDIOT. Maybe if you happen to own a car, it is made from superglue.

BMW focuses more on the other cars in its range, for example the 3 series is by far the best in class and has been for AGES, and the 5 series is the best in class is well. I quote from a magazine, I forget which one "The E-class is a great car, but the 5 series is just a little better in every aspect". Although the Mercedes S classes the best in class it still is bested by the 7 series and A8 in a few categories, wheres 5 series and 3 series are the best in EVERYTHING

I sold my W221 S Class last week. Looks absolutely fantastic in all the advertising hype. The absolute and utter worst car that I have ever had the displeasure of owning. Mercedes-Benz UK service staff are as dumb as fuck and as thick as shit. Trash is what they are. How they actually have jobs is beyond belief. Mercedes-Benz in Brentford ruined my car. If you think these cars are reliable you are living in fantasyland. The way the leather wears is appalling. The electronics are a constant problem no matter how many times you visit the Mercedes-Benz service centre. They constantly lie cheat and bullshit you think you are stupid and will buy any crap they sell you. Charge for things they haven't done, damage the car whilst in their care, There seems to be a culture at Mercedes-Benz that they are better than the customers. I have had command unit failure at 25k... Airmatic shocks replaced at around 13,000 miles. The dynamic seat bladder replaced and the list is page after page long. Tyres wearing on the vehicle pulling to the left. And this is the car I have owned since 12,000 miles. A complete 1,000,000,000% piece of shit !!!!!! The worst thing about this car is everybody thinks it's a taxi. If you buy an S Class be prepared for everyone to assume you're a taxi driver and when you come to sell the car, don't expect anybody less than trashy cabbies to come to your front door. Buy a horse and cart for reliability not an S Class... it's the white British culture that doesn't help customers here in the U.K.. Just go look at the Mercedes Benz Facebook page for an endless quantity of complaints... If you can, sell your Mercedes before the first service and before Mercedes UK staff have had a chance to rape your vehicle
