Salaam!
Hey, um Im actually thinking of purchasing a 2002-2004 Mercedes E / S Class or BMW 5 / 7 series, petrol models only. So would you suggest I pick up a E or 5, S or 7?
And for what reasons by detail
Test drive them all if you can, it will help you make a better choice.
ask Storm the MERC Master
i would go with the 7 series but in ur case i think u should test drive cars and then see. also go to websites such as motortrend.com and roadandtrack.com, they are the leading car magazines in the world so they can also tell u a bit about the cars and also they are pros at that. all the cars u listed 5 series vs e class and the 7 series vs the s class are very similar, for instance the 7 and the s class are very good cars and are very similar, u will not be able to tell the difference in terms of ride, its all gonna come down to what u like better. and alos u can but dont ask Storm cuz he is only the "MERC Master" so therefore he wont know much abt BMW and even if he does he will side with the MERC, he might be bias.
I'll always suggest a merc over a BMW, but the honest truth is that you'll get better performance in a similarly priced BMW over an E-class. same applies to the S-class Vs the &-series.
But it's not all about speed. BMW's are for those who have to procve something in live, Mercs are for those who have nothing left to prove
Good luck on whatever you decide to buy,... just don't buy it from dream cars, capital car deals or PakJapan Autos or you'll regret it.
Merc looks good. Bmw rides good
@ storm bhai,,,,,,,,,,can u plz elaborate on the reason for not buying from CAPITAL CARS,,,,,,,,,
i need this info bcoz ,,,,,there is a nice BMW 316 i for sale
and i have my eyes on it,,,,,and that car has been bought from Capital Cars
Thanx to all. Um, Im actually more interested in the BM cause to me it looks better and I think based on customer reviews, it has better reliability and pleasure whilst driving.
Anyway,Im not buying right now, Im looking but will purchase Insha Allah within 2007 or early 2008.
Will update u guyz on the purchase,
Salaam
Yeah and uh I dont think I can test drive all, but will try the S and 7. So out of these would you consider I get a diesel or petrol? Why?
And, cause Im driving in PK, cant really go that fast, so should I go for a 730 or 750 / S320 S350 S430 S500 S550?
@cableguywithot a doubt i'm biased,.. but only after keepig BMWs and Mercs
@hamdani_08they tend to sell useless cars and there is always something wrong with them. it seems to me that they have very "shiney" cars but that's about it,.. from underneath they are useless.
diesel or petrol? HMMMMM thats up to u. i would go with petrol only cuz i hate diesel, its so uncomon in canada, especially in cars. its a proven fact that a petrol engine is more powerful then a diesel engine but as u said u wont be going fast (good boy) therefore just go for a diesel, that might help u out financially but i dont know the situation of diesel vs petrol in pakistan, but i guess it should not matter to u cuz u r buying a BMW or BENZ. i would go with a petrol engine (only cuz a diesel engines:::::::annoying engine noise).

a 1.9TDi golf has more torque than a 2.8L petrol VR6a 530D BMW has more torque than an M5the E400CDi has more torque than an E55
the list goes on and on,....
@ storm,ok ok u got me there, what i meant to say was that petrol engine cars are quicker then diesel, unless the diesel has a turbo. they can sure haul more then petrol engines, thats why trucks are mostly diesel's, but i dont see why a stupid corolla comes as a diesel, thats just bad for the environment
did u checked the beemer 730 d.....no noise
When you come to high end cars, diesel doesnt seem to give out visible emissions or any unpleasing sounds. The petrol prices are more than 30 % higher than diesel, but I care more for the environment. The diferrence in emissions may be unnoticebale, but doubtlessly diesel is more harmful.
BEcause if the engine is already a 4000 cc, wahts the issue? Top speed diesel: 235km/h Top speed petrol: 231km/h (examples)
Whats the issue, Im settling on petrol!
Dear go for BMW..leave the Merc. The car will satisfy you in all respect.
Ok,
Um. Now you guyz have any information on the prices in ISB or KHI of:
2004 BMW 730i2003 Merc S3202004 Merc E2402001 Merc S4302004 BMW 530i2003 BMW 525i
Or whichever 2001-2005 Merc/Bmw you would purchase, the prices and other details.
bmmer if yaa want a drivers car, MERC if yaa wabt a car for ur driver! ahh man i know someone gona come after me LOL!!! but seriously S320cdi is a gr8 car get one in black with those beauty 19inch rims will look gr8 but 730d is very powerful in deed but just too big for roads here in my view tht idrive will drive u crazy it nearly did my head in! and as @storm said earlier 530d is alot of torque still it also has tht idrive 330d is a safe bet no idrive and one gr8 getawy car!
just look at my avatar
I personally like Merc bcoz merc is merc but i got beemer so i go for beemer...
