BMW 750Li vs MB S560L

S_A_F · 10-31-2018, 01:04 PM

For someone who really appreciates and enjoy BMW for its drivability, specially after owning M5 F10 LCI for 4 years, I am seriously considering buying BMW 750Li...

The thing is, almost every time I check a comparison between the current 750Li vs MB S560L vs Audi A8L...
Almost most if not all would suggest that the S class would be number 1
Then the 7 series
Then the A8

Anyone can comment on that and share feedback or comments personal experience please...

Thanks

Most reviews look at S Class, 7 Series and A8 from a passenger perspective.

S Class is probably the best car to be driven in, but recent review I saw, 7 Series was the best to drive.

Having had 3 A8’s on the bounce, and now a 7, I can confirm that 7 is best to drive by a long way.

For me:

1. BMW
2. Mercedes
3. Audi

They are all very nice cars but for me, BMW has the best infotainment, best engine, transmission, a very good comfort and a very nice interior.
Sure the Mercedes is also a very good car but BMW wins as it has the best Infotainment system (Navigation, HUD Display, Touchscreen). Thats the main reason.

The Mercedes is slightly more comfortable

I don't like the low middle screen of the Audi.

I'm driving actually a S-Class 2015 and I'm going to switch back to BMW 7 Series LCI next year. Probably the Hybrid 745Le. Before the S-Class I had a 750Li F02 2010.

My wife's refrain applies here: "I'd rather be a passenger in a Mercedes but I'd rather drive a BMW". I have not had the new S class, so I can't comment on that car specifically, but I have had S class in the past. I surely prefer BMW. That does not mean that the S is a bad car; it isn't. But my preference is not necessarily anybody else's, so the way you can decide is to test drive both.

It is a personal choice. You can’t let a review dictate which car you like best. Went back and forth 2 years ago between 7 and S. Bought the 750 with sport package. Loved it. Car stolen in June. Felt obligated to look at refreshed S560 due to reviews. Looked at B7, 760. Still like BMW better. BMW speaks to me. Ordered 760. Maybe one day I will buy an S classe but that day has not arrived yet. (I just looked at new Audi this week, sat inside it and felt blah. Declined a test drive)

I strongly prefer the iDrive system intuitiveness over the Command system. I think the BMW is better to drive; I still like having a CD player and internal hard drive for my music. I love gesture control, and the LED sunroof. I prefer the gearshift lever to not be on the steering column as it is with Mercedes.

The only thing I like better about the S Class is it is easier for me to get in and out of the car (I am 6’5”) due to each car’s B pillar location.
