The 7 series is bigger, more powerful, and has more tech than the S class, so it was a pretty easy decision for me.
Agree, and I road tested an S before I got my 7. Not just bigger and more powerful but the 7 handles like a smaller car and the S handles like a big car. I didn't get a chance to test drive an S with 4 wheel steering but it wasn't just the steering; it was the way the suspension is tuned. The 7 IMHO navigates road imperfections as well or better and handles curves significantly better. I also prefer idrive even with all of its imperfections, to Mbux, which is significantly harder to use. Having seen Mbux for an extended period in my wife's '23 E450 wagon, I would say it is better than previous MBux versions but remains frustratingly complex and not at all intuitive,
