BMW vs. Mercedes-Benz

If you are on the hunt for a dependable luxury vehicle, it is likely that you have been exploring both the BMW brand and Mercedes-Benz. Both brands have a reputation for quality craftsmanship, but only one vehicle can earn that coveted spot in your Bedford garage. How do you narrow down your search with so many great options to choose from? In this guide from Tulley BMW of Manchester, our team compares BMW vs. Mercedes in several key areas. We want to ensure that you find a vehicle you can rely on and love for many years to come.

While both BMW and Mercedes-Benz have built remarkable reputations in the luxury segment, BMW has a bit more of a performance focus while Mercedes-Benz sticks to its focus on luxury. What else sets the brands apart? Learn more about their proprietary technologies and warranty coverage below.

BMW vs. Mercedes-Benz: Warranty

When it comes to brand new models, both BMW and Mercedes-Benz have a 4-year/50,000-mile new vehicle limited warranty. However, if you are more interested in driving a certified pre-owned model, which brand has more to offer Londonderry shoppers like you?

Each brand’s CPO program offers transferable benefits and a CARFAX® Vehicle History Report or AutoCheck® report. Both automakers also offer coverage for the remainder of the new vehicle limited warranty along with an additional 12 months (unlimited miles) of limited CPO coverage.

Remember, for a BMW to earn the distinction of CPO, it has to meet strict criteria:

• Pass a 360-degree inspection
• Pass a rigorous road test
• Have more than 300 but fewer than 60,000 miles on the odometer
• Have an up-to-date maintenance history and genuine BMW parts

BMW was a pioneer in developing infotainment systems, as one of the first automakers to launch this type of technology. iDrive still remains one of the best systems out there. Past Mercedes-Benz infotainment systems were decent. However, MBUX is more intuitive than previous iterations.

What about safety features? Today’s BMW models offer all the latest active safety systems you’d expect. Here is just a sampling of the available safety features in recent BMW models.

• Emergency brake assist
• Road sign recognition

• Speed limit assist
