The eternal debate: which is better - Mercedes or BMW?
BMW and Mercedes are expensive business class cars . They are interested in people who have enough financial resources not to think about the cost of such an acquisition. Technically, the “Germans” are excellent, so thinking about what is better than a Mercedes or a BMW most likely comes down to personal preference.
You can read hundreds of reviews, watch dozens of videos and spend hours comparing specifications, but until you get behind the wheel yourself, you are unlikely to be able to determine which is better - Mercedes or BMW.

Over the years of competition and disputes between fans of the two brands, it has been noticed that young people are more likely to take BMWs because of its brash, sporty nature. The Mercedes audience is middle-aged and older people with a stable income, position, and family. They value comfort more and don't mind relaxing along the way. There are many businessmen, managers, officials and lawyers among them.
According to the technical characteristics, there is no big difference between the two brands, but there are nuances:
- Mercedes drives longer without breakdowns, but if something happens, then it is overhaul. BMW has more electronics and often break sensors. The total amount spent on repairs is the same.
- The Mercedes suspension is better. The secret is that the load goes to the support beam, not the body. At BMW, the front part of the suspension breaks more often - the bearings fail.
- BMW adheres to the image of a car for lovers of drive, adrenaline and a daring driving style, therefore it offers a large selection of "sporty" settings.
- The security systems of both "Germans" are at a high level. Engineers pay great attention to them.
- The interior is often compared. As an example, let's compare the Mercedes E-class and the BMW X5. The first traditionally combines elegance and manufacturability. Stylish controls on the center console made of real aluminum are wonderfully combined with upholstered trim and wood accents.
- "BMW" abandoned the tree in the cabin. It has been replaced with modern plastic. Removed double glass. For opponents of the touch screen, some of the functions on the steering wheel were duplicated.
