Not saying it works in the new designs, but that's why they are there.
One thing between the 750 and the S, is that the S is the car I'd rather be in if I got into a major accident. Safety has been important with MB throughout history. Not so much with BMW, unfortunately.
MB has a much longer auto manufacturing history over all the other mfgs.

I had a W211 and a W203 a few years ago, so I'm no stranger to the brand but the current S and new E just don't do it for me style wise. I'm not sure of your safety comparison either, I think the NCAP and USA equivalent crash test results are fairly similar between the brands.
