I don't think so. It's just what audience they want to target nia. It is quite obvious with the latest styling, Merc is going for a more sporty look and drive, while still maintaining comfort. On the other hand, BMW is targeting a mass market with a full range of cars from 1 to 7 series, and some with FWD. In order to accommodate a wide audience, they will have to tone down the firm suspension (not everyone likes it firm). For the minority that still wants a firm handling BMW, you will have to top-up for the M suspension or get the M to get the true ultimate handling feeling.

 

So saying the BMW's handling is way better than a Merc (comparing stock to stock, no suspension options) may no longer be true now. Yes, there is a difference, but not "WAY better" anymore.

Stock vs Stock can be:

Non M vs Non AMG

or

M sports vs AMG Package

 

Not forgetting M performance.

 

I am number person.  For the same corner, what is the lateral G Force diff between BMW & Merc?
