Mercedes is the best.

I had a bmw and now have a mercedes. both are good but for some reason I like the mercedes lots better.

Worked on both makes, Maybe ten years or so ago, I could have said purchase the Merc but the quality dipped badly over the last not many years, particularly with some of the models fitted South Africa. Have you ever noticed how many three five year old Mercs show blistering with rust,ie around the locks and on the lower edge of the front wings on the C and E class. Shouldnt happen on a modern car. The BMW is a better bet, if your heart is set on some one of these marques. Just another bit of useless information but the Honda Accord recently beat the new three series pretty comprehensively in a head to head test. a lot less money and hold their value well, particularly the CDTI which is a cracking car. Bottom line is that a new car isn't most of an investment, it,ll lose at least a great the minute it's registered. Good luck, its a nice position to be in.

dont know what bmw estate means but I could go purchase a BMW three series two door coupe...AWESOME

A BMW will hold their value better than a Benz. particularly since now a days MBenz was having to fix many glitches on their new line of vehicles. They should have never teamed up with Chrysler.

BMWs are the "Ultimate Driving Machine". It the final driving experience with its road hugging suspension, access to unbelievable hp and torque, and sleek racing design.

The thing I love about BMW is that their designs never get old. you may be able to own a 1999 BMW and people could think its new, so you'd get a better resale value.

On the other hand Mercedes design team changes designs ever couple years making all past designs out of date. there's a big difference between their 2004 fleet and their 2006 2007 arsenal.

I have really started to appreciate Mercedes Benz for their notorious AMGs with the V10s and V12s either supercharged or bi turbocharged pushing 500 600hp.

But then again the new M5s and M6s do push out 500 hp on a 5.0L V10 naturally aspirated with a seven speed SMG transmission.

In conclusion BMW is a far better choice because their designs do not grow old fast and they aren't recklessly installing V10s,V12s,superchargers, and turbos in ever car they get their hands on.
