Re: Mercedes or BMW choice......

Ok, if it was me i would definitely choose the bimmer for two main reasons.
1) great and unmatched design and look, not like the boxy intrerior of the G55
2) all the well known advantages, mainly as far as driving is conserned, that every sedan has over an SUV

750Li for me ...I quite like the car. Now if you had had the S550 in the poll my vote would have been different.

Re: Mercedes or BMW choice......

It would depend on what other cars would go with that choice I suppose. If I had to have just one car, I would take the 750iL for its driving characteristics and comfort.

However, if I had another daily driver, the G55 AMG definitely. Its exclusive, classic, and so cool imho. But thats just me.

Re: Mercedes or BMW choice......

I'd say the G55, is has got to be one of the coolest cars, especially in black!

I love the 750Li as well, it's a hrad choice because they are so different!

But I'd go for the G55!

Re: Mercedes or BMW choice......

G55 is a SUV and 7 series a sedan so maybe you should decide what kind of car you want first.
From those two i would take the 750 cause G class is very very old and dated IMO. Of course some might say that G is a classic and they will be correct.

The G-class does look fantastic though - a timeless design.

Re: Mercedes or BMW choice......

Id take the beemer only because the G is a SUV. The 7 isnt best in its class by a long shot though.

Nah, but from those two, the G55.

Re: Mercedes or BMW choice......

The BMW has better performance, gas mileage, and styling. But, it of course depends on what your doing with your car. If you want to tow a boat of use it for going offroading then the G55 makes more sence.

Well it does look good ..but I wouldn't call it a timeless design ...it is definitely starting to look old now IMO -- it has just had it's "50,000th" facelift ..but even that can not hide it's "maturity".
