I generally prefer BMW over Mercedes but the AMG models are quite good too.

AMG hands down.

BMW forgot how to build cars that were actually sporty, so it's basically a battle of the fat luxo barges with big engines and Mercedes just wins. No playing video games to put an overly complicated transmission into launch mode, hold down a button for 10 seconds to disable the overly instrusive nannies in an AMG car. It's way more simple. Step on the gas. You'll be a quarter mile away before the poor ******* in the BMW gets done playing with his joystick.

More simple?

I can get my M into launch mode much quicker and easier than your 10 seconds lol


I think both have + and - depending on which models you are looking at.

My friend had an CL63, and what a huge pile of crap that was (it was lemon lawed). When it worked, it was beautiful. I still like Mercs though, don't know if I would ever buy one. But I am totally in love with his Tesla Model S and would be my ultimate purchase... I also like Range Rovers, but they and like many of the vehicles in the class depreciate way to fast. I would be stuck between an Tesla and a Porsche 911 with this kinda money.

I use to love BMW M3/5, until lately.

I would likely prefer a BMW M over an equivalent AMG, but to be honest I would not throw either out of my garage.

Used to be M all the way, but over the last 10-15 years or so... gotta give the nod to AMG.
