What is better, a BMW 7-Series (760Li) or a Mercedes S Class (S600)............... If I were a driver, I would go for the 7, if I was a human, S Class

S600L 760Li
0-100 km/h in 4.8sec 5.6sec
0-200 km/h in 15.1sec 19.5sec
Bhp 500 445
Nm 800 600
I would take the S600L...it's faster than a 911!!!

that's a tough question but I would say the 7 series since the S-class is more of an old mans car.

7 series, only because it's a BMW:)
No contest - the Big Benz - way more refined, powerful and impressive - and having been behind the wheel and passenger in both - the one feels like a big 3 series.. the other like one of the greatest luxury saloons ever concieved... ;)
760Li all the way for me.. and BTW, next time avoid using the CAPS LOCK

Da Benz is my choice.. check the vid on the S600 by Jeremy C.. He spends so much time programming the phone book with his voice, yet he still picks it over the newer A8 :mrgreen:

I like the 760 Li a lot but i think I would choose the S Class. More comfy, more punch (S600) and a classier look.
760Li for me all the way!!

Actualy guys...
BMW 760Li has been tested at 5 seconds flat with 0-100 and the S600 has done 4.3........these are QUICK cars.
But whats the point in having so much power in a Mercedes? It would have the road holding of a Clio V6 :?
BMW 760Li here, though I must admit the S600 is a real punch in the face for the 760 in the sales race.
7 Series looks so much better, corners so much better and its got AWSOME tech. 8)
Both cars are for old mans.. But I`ll go with Mercedes.. Bmw has only one advantage IMO... Better look.. (Much more sportive)
Mercedes has much more power and much more luxury..

....uhm, there was NOTHING "old man" about the way we drove the S600 lemme tell ya... ;)

Who wouldn't drive a luxury car that can accelerate better than a 911?
May be the design is older than the 7series, but sill its beautiful!
Think about the torque (800Nm), which 'comes' @ 1800rpm!!!

Both cars are for old mans..
am i really that old :? :lol:
...back then when i decided to buy my new car i´d the choice between S500 and 745i and i´m still VERY satisfied with my 745i...
MB isn´t my type of car, just look at the SLR...
they try to produce sportive cars but fail every time, sure the S600 has some impressive figures but i´m dead sure the 760 outruns the S600 on an average country road, but one thing´s for sure: autobahn is S600 sovereign territory...

To complete my answer i must say that if i had the choice between a S500 and a 745i i would choose the BMW but between the S600 and the 760 i choose the S600.
:roll:
am i really that old
LoL.. Ofcourse no m8.. :)
As I written before at this thread.. Bmw is much more sportive lookin.. Maybe I have to get BMW out.. But IMO a 20 25 year old guy looks funny at S600..
i saw a 760 on tv owned by the drummer from blink 182 and i'd have to say it was the shit
it had a frige in the backseat :o

between 745Li and s500
i chose bimmer
BUTTTT
s600 and 760Li
i choose s600
i do belive the new 7 series interior is superior then benz, and i like the look of 7 series
but the s600 can kill ferrari, etc on straight line... so i pick s600.. is a beast

In the 60's-70's-80's Mercedes became an icon, and now its the King of cars!
In these decades BMW had only a few "good" models(2002ti, 635csi)...BMW started to be good from the end of the 80's...but before their cars lasted till
their warranty... Mercedes was always more liable than BMW! Sorry!
But still, BMW makes better engines then Mercedes...
for a driver the 760li but for pure luxary the mercedes

I will take the 7-series it is more rare then an S and in Holland they also use the S as taxi but the S is a fantastic car if I could I took them both

A poll should be added. I am pretty sure the BMW is winning but who knows what happens when this gets to page 2!
BTW: visit this thread and tell me if you guys dont agree with me!

I would say the s class...it looks so much better and its more prestigious

S Class I reckon; i just hate the way the 7 series looks (look at the other post about Chris Bangle leaving BMW for similar opinions) and it always ws deisgned to immitate the orginal. We all you know that the copy is never as good as the original..

i would easily choose the 760 over an s 600, it has more presence, it handles better, the quality of the interior is a lot better and i find it a lot more interesting to look at.As far as power is concerned i ve heard rumors about an updated version of the 760 with almost 500 bhp
