A german friend of mine summed it up like this: MB is a car for the passengers, BMW is a car for the driver, and I tend to agree. I've driven quite a few MB's (mainly C's and E's, but also a couple of S's) and while they can be great cars to sit in, they lack that 'oomph' of a BMW, whether or not it's just my biased perception of the brand. Put simply, I'd drive a MB rental, but I don't think (I won't say never) I would buy one.
