:'( Oh nooooo....
But i do agree with the fact that the hunger mercedes has to show off with more and more powerfull engines, kinda makes bmw step up even further with the power. While merc can sell only power mearly for straights and the ideea of owning a merc wich is good for we know what people....bmw has to think how to set the pole higher when it comes to power but keep the whole pack steady (handling, feeling, driving experience, luxury (from case to case), technology and so on....)

Yep, no need for more MB like cars, USA can almost make those Let BMW keep the driver involved in a greater driving experience. Today I am in a 325i loaner, and its a nice little BMW and you know it is a BMW, even without the power of my 6er
