All maintenance costs on the MB are out of pocket. Maintenance on the BMW will cost you nothing for 4/50. That should make this an easy decision

MB is designed for passengers and BMW is designed for drivers, even the 7 series. So you have to define what kind of driver you mum is and then decide which one is suitable for you mum.

How about we take one of each, fill them up with 97 octane Blaufrei in Bremerhaven, and see which one can get to the Austrian border first? That should sort a few things...

My money is on the 750Li. Sure the S550 is all-new with all kinds of gadgets and gizmos and it's got more power than the big bimmer. But the 750Li has the total package in terms of pure driving experience that the Benz can't match. Not to mention the bimmer looks a whole lot better and more harmonious (especially the butt) after the facelift.

Oh and one more thing did I mention the big 7 is now being widely imitated.

Another +1 for BMW. The free maintenance is a real nice thing to have. As far as the looks, sure the MB is pretty, but I really like the 7.

Personal choice I guess, I would rather have the CPO 760 then a new 750
