Wow thats amazing.. and look at the AUDI it falls down alot if you dont concider the price..
But as always price is an important thing to consider.. especially in this class.. ppl care what the cars cost here.. unlike the S vs 7 vs A8 thingy...
PS
But they should leave the price out of it.. and tell us wich car is the best.. and then its up to the reader/slash buyer to decide if its good enough to pay a certain amount of cash..

Now I have gone through this test and chosen those categories I care about when I buy a car.
And they are
Road performances, Handling, Driving noises, Travelling comfort, Transmission, Engine characteristics, Brakes
Calculating the points:
1. BMW 148 p
2. MB 140 p
3. Audi 133 p
When Im adding other categories I dont care as much as the ones above,
then the result is like this:
Equipment/operability, Safety equipment, Quality/materials, Consumption/environment
Calculating the points:
1. BMW 96 p
2. MB 93 p
3. Audi 86 p
Total score:
1. BMW: 148 + 96 = 244 p
2. MB 140 + 93 = 233 p
3. Audi 133 + 86 = 210 p
I dont care if those categories doesnt intrest others but to me they are important.

Yeah, congratulations, but it's very close.
Actually, they need a control model that they know is much more crummy than the rest, to see what depths of scoring they can actually 'achieve'. Otherwise, we don't know what that 11 point difference really means.
However, on face value it would seem the three cars are really all quite similar in terms of scoring.

Do it like me. Choose those categories you think its important when buying a car and then count the points. Then you can see what car suits you the best
Piece of cake 
but of course a testdrive done by yourself is the best way to find out what you prefer.

I was meaning more like, are they automatically awarding 5 points for each car in each category, then the real 'range' is between another 5 points - so that though it seems it's out of a total of 10, it's really sort of a score of 5? For instance, for the brakes, did they get a minimum of 15, then the rest of the scoring is another 15 points, leading to scores of 19, 26 and 23 out of 30? Would an original VW Beetle also score 15, or what is the relative score? I want to find out if the closeness of the scores is really because the cars are so close, or whether it's a product of their scoring scheme. I'm not sure if you get what I mean, but it's sort of an obscure factor anyhow, so never mind.
In any case, the way you've done it is good - I think that's a benefit of giving categorised scores, because for some people cost isn't so much of an issue, etc.

I think I understand what you mean. However, there are no minimum, average or relative score. There are only maximum score, changing from 10 to 80 depending on category.

Sometimes the Audi has too loose so Autobild can stay credible.

To Just_me's list i can only add safety 'cause that's really important thing when i buy a car. Safety means lot to me 'cause i travel a lot (long distances, different countries, different people, different driving, if you get what i mean) and since 2nd child is about to arrive very soon. 
, another reason to care how safe and reliable the car that i buy is...
For what concernes quality and materials (i talk about interior) i don't care that much as i care for other factors that Just_me mentioned in his post, so... They are important too, for sure, but not like:
Add to above safety and that's it.
