Well to each his own but to me its not even close. Styling wise or any other category, IMO, you just can't compare the two. The BMW is head and shoulders above the .... I can't even make myself say that name.

Jeez, looking at both of the crash test videos, I'd say they used a crumple zone in the passengers compartment

Looks like the driver would be as bad as a tube of toothpaste hit by a large hammer.

uhh ...only 40mph and the whole cab is gone!? You should see how they drive on the highways. They pass on the shoulders, even though there's nobody on the other side blocking them. They also make the shoulders another lane when it starts getting crowded (and its not even bumper to bumper).

City driving, eh you better be aggressive driver for sure! But its probably nowhere near as bad as like India or Phlippines.

No comparison, not even if you are blind, stupid, and drunk.

You have got to be joking, right? There is no way this can be a serious question. If you have a hard time deciding that the e53 is better looking you really have issues. The CEO looks like a cheap Kia knock-off and the BME looks well built, classic and amazing. I really hope you are joking. Otherwise, buy yourself a Kia and save yourself some money.
