BMW 7 Series and Mercedes S-Class.

[pilotsnoopy]

Hi BMW.SG

My old man is currently undecided about the 7 Series and S-Class to replace his total loss car and it seems like its has fallen to me to be his 'purchaser'...
Would like to hear comments/experiences good or bad you all have about the cars?
Also I was told all 420 7 Series for the IMF in September has been sold? Can anyone verify this? If it is so I would be quite concerned as for the past week I been back in Singapore, I see a 7 Series everyday almost every where I go...with 420++ more @@ dunno what to say...

How good is aftersales service from C&C(We have been going to our mechanic outside for his last Merc)? PML enough said I guess...heh...

How good is the S-Class's infrared Night View system compared to the 7's Thermal Imaging system...?

Whatever it is....Just which one will you choose?

Thanks all for your time

Most towkays (older ones) in Singapore will go for S class.. I guess this is a traditional status thingy. Pay a visit to Sungei Kadut where all the timber towkays are... knn everywhere u see is S class.. sometimes i wonder cut tree so easy to earn $$ meh?

Driven my friend's S class.... interior is too "ah peh" for me. I still prefer 7. Handling of both cars on normal street driving, I see no difference... both are heavy, stable and smooth cruisers... (unless u want to compare technical spec to spec).

One more thing, being a 7 series owner, PML gives u the Alpha experience package.. I dun noe whether today they still call it Alpha experience... anyhow, u entitle to membership at blue canyon golf and country club and many other cool stuffs that even the M3 and 6er owners not entitled..... oopps.

Will your family consider a Quattroporte? It stands out.

nice car but we do drive up north quite often, so might be a little too outstanding...also Auto Bavaria and C&C Malaysia will provide quite abit of support in emergencies.

I was behind a Quattroporte at a car wash few weeks back...didn't wow me also leh...heh...

True. The wet market near my place hor, got 2 s-class leh....one driven by the owner of a flower shop selling artificial and real flowers. Another driven by one guy who sells yiu-char-guay and butterfly bun and harm-chim-pang. if they dont walk to their cars, one would think the nearby kangoos and pickups are their cars. Not trying to stereotype S class owners, I know some high executives do drive them, it is as good a car as 7-er, but am just sharing with you Live examples I see less than 1 km away from my home.
Most of the time, the 7-ers I see are parked at country clubs, restaurants, etc. if u point a revolver at any part of my body, I will take the BMW 7 series over the S class.

I think if we supply harm chim pang to C&C for their showroom as snacks for customers, they might give a discount for the s class.
