Default 7SERIES VS S CLASS

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.

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...

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

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.

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..
