INPUT PLEASE - Mercedes CLS53 Vs BMW 840i Gran Coupe

[Deleted member 1071]

S coupe anyday anytime ...this S COUPE will become a special car you buy this car you will be having a future classic in my opinion.

That may take quite a while.

For example, absolutely pristine, low mileage, 16 year old C215 CL500s' are going for approx. 20,000 Euros. Decent ones exchange owners for closer to 10,000 Euros. And well-patina'd examples with 200K or more on the odometers can be had for 6,000 Euros, provided that they are relatively rust free-otherwise, they're basically nothing more than junk. When new, these were 100,000.- Euro cars.

So we pick up the new car tomorrow. Any guesses as to the final outcome?!?

Sure! Mercedes!
You said "we pick" ... so my guess:
- you and your dad
- your dad won
- he convinced you by making you a donation of big cash

With the majority of comments leaning towards the BMW my guess is you went for it.

I'm just buying BMWs so @hovabongZA and @klier can't accuse me of being an MB fanboy. The lengths I go to for acceptance on a forum. I should see somone.

What made you change from the initially considered 840i to this M850i?

 

[Mr. Mercedes]

What made you change from the initially considered 840i to this M850i?

The fact that we already get to experience the inline six in the X3, the allure of finally driving a V8 regularly, and perhaps one of the last opportunities to do so, and the extremely competitive arrangement reached with the dealership for a vehicle in stock and on their floor in the last month of the year.

 

[trader1]

Congrats!! Fine choice. Now go enjoy that bad boy.

 

[Centurion]

Awesome choice! V8s won't be around forever, so well done choosing one. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the V8 versus the B58 in your X4.

Congratulations @Mr. Mercedes. Make sure you post regular updates!
