Once upon a time, I went to buy a Mercedes Benz and the interior looked dated. When I did the test drive, it was like, so what. The salesman told me to get in the left lane because there was a huge dip in the right lane. OoooK!
Then I strolled over to the BMW lot. The salesman told me to stay in the right lane because there was a huge dip in that lane. The BMW oozed over that dip like butter. As I continued the test drive, I realized that I was smiling from ear to ear the entire time. Needless to say, I now have a BMW in my garage!
And I'm driving happily ever after!
The end 😁😎
T Weston RIGHT RIGHT!!!
In my experience, the S class feels big and thumpy on the road, while the 7 series feels smooth and agile.
Watching the review, felt like he made up his mind before he even drove the car.
You know Roman, you are the first person I have ever heard say, you would rather be a "rear seat" passenger in the 750li, and a "driver" of the S550!
I find the Mercedes a beautifully comfortable car to be a passenger in. The BMW, well it's a great drivers car, though not as overtly comfortable.
I have a W222, and I enjoy it's Luxury, it's cosseting insulated manner. It is a very very quick car, but not sporty in the handling department, though it can go around corners obscenely quickly. I have driven 600 miles (in a day) in the Mercedes, and come time too out of it, I have no back pain and zero fatigue. It is such a relaxing car to drive.....Superb Craftsmanship.
I owned a E66 BMW 750Li in 2007, it was Not what I Expected, it felt unsubstantial and a bit cheap, plus it's looks were challenging. Though it was a very good drivers car, especially considering it's size and weight. I bought the E66 750Li, because the previous (E38) 7 series, was possible the most beautiful BMW of that era, and being younger, I wanted a big car that was fun on a drive, but could carry the family easily....Whilst giving me a more sporty driving and dynamic feel.
The new G12 BMW 7 series, is the best designed 7, since the E38. I haven't driven one yet. But since I love the Mercedes so much, I most probably never will. As the S550 is all the car I need at this point in my life.
The S class Mercedes Benz, is in my opinion the very best luxury car money can buy, without financially crippling yourself, on a Rolls Royce Ghost / Phantom or Bentley Flying Spur / Mulsanne.
BMW and Mercedes Benz are direct competitors in the upper end of the Luxury car market, with the S class and 7 series, they slog it out in the same market place, with two quiet similar cars overall in Size and Features.
Each car has acres of leather, a forest of timber and more wool than a sheep farmer! They use real Alloy for the interior switches, not plastics....So we have quiet high end finishes in both.
But with two very Different takes on their Car underneath, with different attitudes and opinions of what Luxury is. BMW in my experience, have a Firmer Seat cushion! Whilst Mercedes Benz is more Cosseting of her passengers in the Seating Dept.
Seeing that I'm getting on, a cars seat is now most important consideration in choosing a car, hence my use of it as an example.
The views stated, are just my Opinions, on Mercedes Benz's S class Vs BMW's 7 series.
+Mark Law thanks for the thoughtful comment and great insight.
+Mark Law Thought the same thing.
longest (and smartest) comment ive ever seen about cars
Mark Law yea Mercedes S class is better and thats it!
You havent even showed the interior? The whole video is about doing 0-60 in luxury limousine...
Agree. The review was not comprehensive enough to help me make a decision.

@@jaffarbaqi you dont have the money so not a big deal
I believe the 750 is a more complete car. Meaning u can enjoy the car as a driver or a passenger. I think that's what BMW was shooting for. Its great that a person can go from driving to passenger anytime. BMW wins. Thanks for the video!!!
S class is also nice, can't take away from it but... rooting for the big 7!
Great review! Putting this head to head against the S550 today. Excited to see how they compare
Watched your video, it was great.
Pedro please tell me how he is an a****** in a jerk you dumb stupid piece of s***
Holy fuck sitting in the back of that car is like riding first class on an airplane! this car is amazing.
I bought a 750xi with the M package in 2016 and absolutely love the car. It is fun like a sports car with the luxury of a sedan. You can keep the Mercedes S I drove one of those for a day before I bought the 750. It just was not as fun to drive.
roman what kind of car fleets you have at your house that you and your family drive
same, I'm curious to know as well
Tell me why I have a 2016 bmw 750i and mine doesn’t have the tablets and tray and TVs ??
do you have to be at a complete stop to switch between sport, comfort mode? I have a 2009 Mercedes c350 and my brother says you do.
Nope. Can be switched at any time.
What's the deal with the S class footage at 6:30? I think you've had a mix up in editing.
Hey the fast lane car, what's your opinion on the 2008 Honda Accord EX 2.4? And thanks so much for the videos, I love all of them!!
+Cole Lockridge Good car. You are most welcome. Thanks for the kind words!
The 09 with the 2.4 was once rated among the most mechanically sound cars ever made :) look it up. Step up to 09.
+The Fast Lane Car can you please do a review for a 2016 BMW M3 please??
outstanding camera work
Im in the market for a bigger vehicle, I currently own 13 cls550 and 15 bmw 328i and both work horribly with a carseat. Me and my lady have been eyeing s class lately but the interior looks very outdated, especially the steering wheel. Surprisingly she actually likes the 7 series alot, only con is ive heard horrible things about the 4.4l. My 3 series has been an absolute blessing, gratefully no problems but i maintain the vehicle my self very often. My question is should i purchase a 2016 750xi? I also like the m550i ( same year) it feels more my age (20) but again it has that 4.4l.
does the ct6 compare??
hey tfl car, can u do a battle between x5m vs m5 please??
Looking for an M button in a 750i SE???
As a driver, I prefer BMW. As a passenger, I prefer Mercedes.
7 series has my vote. Trading in my older model for this one before spring
It took me a year to figure out how to use the tough pad, rear sun shade & auto high beams
You would rather be in the back seat on the BMW?! are u kidding me?!
Brought to you by Mercedes benz. I dont take that dude seriously.
The guy is a clown
The bmw goes 🚙 💨
He mentioned you'd have to go to a BMW school to learn to drive the 2016 7 series. He should've mentioned BMW'S own mechanics have to go to school in order to FIX IT.
Got to mess with this car at my schools BMW program since they have all the new cars to teach the students too work on them, and it is really nice! Just too big, but it's a luxury sedan
It would be interesting to actually see a bit of the car... ie the interior/dash/console.
I am of the assumption that some of these reviews are rather subjective. It all depends on what the journalist already would rather prefer in real life than what is really better.
Don’t understand completely when a “?” follows most of those review question titles.....the 7 has been bttr and preferred more than the s since 2009.
The gear changes appeared a bit jerky with hard acceleration judging by the movement of your torso. Was it? Agree the front is too fussy while the back is no more handsome than its predecessor. I do prefer the dashboard - the Merc's looks a bit too Liberace and bulky. Side by side comparison would be great. Thanks for a great review.
now review the new s8 plus from auid, let's see how it compares
anyone else hear that rattlely sound at the start of the acceleration test , detonation loose flex plate??
you did not show the bmw`s dashboard
Here's the problem, TFL. Things like hand gesture technology aren't really "cutting edge", the Germans just stuff these features into their cars just for the sake of having something that few other cars have, even if it doesn't work better, because that impresses their snobbish clientele. Again, these additional modes of controlling the volume and whatever are not "cutting edge" technology, they're not new, and they're not an advancements over simple things like buttons and volume knobs, they're just more and more expensive and useless things that will break.
Well most people buy these new so that's not a concern and this tech is what should come with the car as its the flagship vehicle that means it should have the best of the best
Chatta290
Most people buy them new because they're junk used. They aren't the best of the best at all.
+Chris C well they will have the best technology form the brand in it and yes not all of them last very long I will agree with that
My dream car for sure
BMW 7 is Driving Car and Comfortable Car 100% innovations car is N.1
Vadim Rezmerita amen to that.
amazing luxury in this car!
where is the new S-Class review video I didn't find it
+Matthew Wheeler Here you go: th-cam.com/video/6kGnubW_xjI/w-d-xo.html
Thanks.. and wow you guys actually responded to me for the first time!👍👍
Review the Jaguar F- Pace next
Dear TFL,
Would you please delete the question mark from the title as it is utterly superfluous.
Lol!
***** Delete is the wrong word. Is English your first language ?
***** I don't know what's happened to Clone, I haven't heard from him for a while. He's a simple soul, but easily scared. I do hope nothing unsavoury has happened to him.
2:27 c'mon roman, I can see out the window, you're going ~12 mph
I currently own a 2009 bmw 750 and if I had the option to get the new one I wont do it, it doesn't look as luxurious as the s class but again that's just my opinion
4.93 one mile above sea level?
Yes. The engine is rather underrated.
I like both s class and 7 series
wish they brought back the shorter wheel base, and made this car like lighter, and more nimble, more sporty its like the previous incarnations
Sounds like your looking for a five series.
+Sawashi32 well yeah I mean an M5 today would kick ass. But I meant like the older 7 series seemed more fun in their design to me.
buy it in canada
Did you hire a new cameraman? The zoom in and out are too abrupted, unlike your previous video.
Most important for good acceleration are sunglasses ; )
Roman's opinion pretty much seems to represent the consensus opinion of the 7 vs the S. At 6:50, I think he hit the nail on the head surprising considering how BMW's used to be the driver's choice. Gesture control is viewed as gimmicky and that is probably the one tech feature that had the most attention over the S-Class tech. And at 7:59, that view of the interior also sums up why the S is superior. The interior of the S looks special whereas the interior of the 7 looks like a 3 Series interior with higher quality materials. I have no idea how/why BMW missed the mark so badly with this. Mercedes is selling 2:1 and sometimes 3:1 S vs 7, and that's comparing a non-updated, 3-year old S vs. the brand new 7. Not to mention the 7 currently has a 740i model that starts $15k LESS than the starting price of the S500. Imagine if Mercedes felt the need to add an S400 to the stable and lower the price of entry for an S-class. They may start outselling the BMW 4:1.
100,000 dollars of depreciation makes me want one asap 😅
It's a luxury car review yet this guy never showed the interior
Last time when check things was like that:
BMW 7-er and Merc S-class are for so called "big bosses"... And in 98% of time behind the wheel sits a chauffeur, not the owner...
So, when Roman says "Merc wins because I like to drive the car" this means that BMW is better limousine... And beat Merc in their game...
To me, the current gen 5 series is better looking than this 7, let alone trying to compare with the Merc.
I have the 2012 BMW 750i
the tech will depreciate even faster than the car in a few years time
The Mercedes would have been near perfect if it used tachometers rather than a screen only.
Personal preference for sure, but I'd prefer the BMW M6 Gran Coupe over both of these.
Same here
+headcas620 Sounds like you're after the Coupe version rather than the Gran Coupe.
+headcas620 You should see how amazing the M6 Gran Coupe on top gear. And I would buy that car! It's more convenient than the two-door M6 and more nimble and less draggy than the 7-series. You can comfortably seat 4 people without compromising performance. The M6 Gran Coupe is the car of the decade for me.
headcas620
No, I think the 7 series is a luxury level above the 6. The 3 and 4 series are the same (minus the doors), 5 and 6 are together, and 7 is their limo thing I think is how it works. Personally, I prefer the 4-door versions, though I have no idea why.
+Kcducttaper1 Same here, the most fantastic BMW line up.
I would never, EVER even consider THINKING about this car over an S-class.
Frank White same here I would never purchase a benz! To me Bmw 7 series always have, and it's the first to have the cutting edge technology over benz going back in the 90s. 100% Bmw all the way.
3:32-3:33 two tickets to paradise
Is it just me or are the headrests all wrinkled
+tikiman48 its a cover that goes over them for comfort, i would imagine those can be taken off.
The funny thing is, the s class in still faster lol, S Class is always & will always be in first place
I'd go with the Audi S8
Better in comfort & refinement? I don't think so.
Mmmmmmm owning this car after 100k miles
100K miles?..... better have a good backup car on standby.
I love it but they need to offer the US a non-longwheelbase version. Nobody wants to dive their $130k car feeling like a chauffeur.
I wish there was an S class and 7 series wagon! Someone should create the luxury wagon WE NEED WAGONS BACK IN AMERICA!!!
+Tech Defender Wait for the new Volvo V90. It will also be infinitely more beautiful than what these two could produce with their current take on car design.
+Tech Defender because nobody wants to pay 130 grand for a wagon
Hey both the BMW and Mercedes are good, it is like splitting hairs between the two, maybe buy the BMW and Mercedes if you can afford one buy the other one.
Well, what do expect from a merc lover! It better you focus on the merc. There is nothing outstanding on the appearance of the merc that beat 750i, honestly. It's personal preference.
nice
That 'ipad-like' control is a Samsung tablet
Yes the S class is prettier inside and out. This sounds better and has a better driving experience. I'd pick this one over that.
BMW for life!!
looks like a GENESIS EQUUS
It’s so understated so if you want flash buy a Bentley
You make no sense. This is more involving to drive whilst the S-Class' rear seats, mostly with individual chairs, feels comfier, cocoon-like swaddled.
if not, I still like it better
I feel the BMW looks boring and doesn't seem to a luxury car. The styling on the Mercedes from the inside to outside is much more appealing and practical. It can stand out in the crowd with its large headlights, rear lights style and the body contours. In the inside the whole dashboard looks as if you are already in next decade of car design. The back seat comfort just can't be matched and with other variants of it it looks practical as well.
You'd rather get an S-Class because you want to drive it yourself? Dude, what?
How much does it cost to maintain this, imitation of a Mercedes Benz? How about how reliable are the electronics on it to warrant the 130K price tag that I'd rather go Bri'ish or MB with?
7 Series>Genesis G80>Mercedes S class....
+Andy Jung shut up. what does korean know about cars? lmfao xD
I'd think hard about a Tesla if you're considering a $100k+ car
can you guys change your intro sound? especially the video that pops up every time someone clicks on your channel. the sound is like a punch to your ears.
I Had the 2014 BMW 750 I L (TERRIBLE CAR) and also own a Lexus 460 L AWD . I did have a Lexus ES 350 FWD and a Lexus GS 350 AWD and a Mercedes 560 SEL and I finally have the two cars I feel are keepers. Normally I buy cars and trade them i within 2 years I am keeping the Lexus 460 L AWD as it is very dependable and SAFE in all types of weather The BMW 2016 I is also as comdfortable as the the Lerxus NOT as safe in the snow or rain BUT a hell of a fun car to drive expecially in sport mode on curves My 2016 has the M Sport package and for a bif car this car moves FAST
S Class has too much of that Buick "Jelly Bean" styling for my taste IMO.
I drove this at CES. does not compare to the S Class
you are right Mark Law s class is more better
this car just looks kinda weird to me, especially in the nose. I much prefer the A8 and s class styling wise
You must have a vagina
Donte Smith Wow dude. Aren't you a mature fellow.
+Samwise Drogod you're not the only one. It does look pretty odd
actually the A8 is the most ugly from luxury cars (mercedes, bmw, porsche, lexus), you must be old, because A8 is for aged people.
IT'S HOOL. HOWDY?$ CYCLE INJURE WHAT DO YOU THINK, GUZS? !!!
Would look a lot better without those ugly NJ plates on it.
Terrible review and comparison. Little to no mention of the seats, stereos, rear entertainment, engine characteristics, transmission, features...ect. Having driven a 2017 S550 and a 2017 750i back to back there are obvious differences between the two. The 750i was far sportier that the S550, it didn't even have the M sport package. The S550 was very nice but definitely felt more like a car your grandparents would drive, the ride was softer, steering slower, just felt like an older Cadillac. While 750i wasn't super sporty, it felt a lot sportier than the S class. It felt smaller and smaller when it was pushed. Both are incredible cars but the 750i is a lot more inline with how I prefer cars to feel and drive
For someone who reviews cars professionally, how can you fawn over the gesture control as anything more than a weak, gimmick? Not to mention time spent talking about the technology which is really nothing more than all cars in this class must have to be competitive.
I don't know why but the headlights looks cheap.
S class!
spend it on neither
BMW university??? I hope it is a little better than Trump University. 😉
3:02
BMWniversity
+Nissan TitanWarrior omg omg when are you going into production
It’s not as comfortable as a rolls nor sclass
bmw 7 SERIES HAVE NO SECOND HAND VALUE, CHECK THE PRICE OF THESE CARS TODAY.
I'd get a Quattroporte or XJL any day over a 7-series. The 7-series doesn't look or feel special enough for the money.
Bmw looks the same tbh. Interior is the same as 2015. Mercedes looks nicer, better engine options, interior is better, and ride better. Don't get me wrong. BMW are nice and they handle better then Mercedes but at the end of the day Mercedes is just better.
Rates very poor reliability issues since 2011
