Agree. I've not driven either so I reserve judgement until then, but from the reviews and reading between the lines, I feel like this is the first time in a very long time that BMW's flagship is in front of the S Class. Certainly this seems to absolutely blow the EQS sedan out of the water by a mile.
I do not like the front end in pictures, as I really don't like the "divorced" DRL / headlight look on any car. But the proportions of the car very much suggest a Rolls Royce look, while the S class looks very much like a giant C class, rather than the other way around. Not good. The S class interior's screen layout doesn't do it for me either. I'm not anti-screen in the least, but the current Merc. layout seems disjointed and "tablet" like. I do think, though, that Merc wins on actual gauge layout and customization. I think they are industry leading there.
But yeah, front end look aside, I think BMW has really upped their game with this car. Especially in i7 form.
