When it comes to German luxury vehicles, BMW and Mercedes-Benz are two of the most well-known and respected brands. Both automakers have a long history of producing high-performance, well-appointed cars and SUVs, but if you want a truly engaged drive, it’s hard to beat the new BMW models available at BMW of Birmingham.

Comparing the BMW 3 Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class

Our lineup of new BMW sedans delivers sporty excitement and a refreshing sense of luxury so you can enjoy every drive. The BMW 3 Series is known for its sporty handling and powerful engine options, living up to BMW's "Ultimate Driving Machine" reputation. The C-Class puts more of an emphasis on comfort and refinement, with a plush interior and smooth ride.

When it comes to technology, both models offer advanced infotainment systems, digital instrument clusters, and a range of driver assistance features. However, the BMW's iDrive system is considered more intuitive to use than Mercedes' COMAND interface.

Comparing BMW and Mercedes-Benz SUVs

Our BMW SUVs stand out against their Mercedes-Benz counterparts with a blend of athleticism and luxury that the Mercedes-Benz models just can’t match.

The X3 stands out with its agile handling, making it feel more like a sport sedan than an SUV. It also boasts a roomy, well-crafted interior. The larger X5 ups the ante with even more space, available third-row seating, and impressive towing capacity.

Mercedes' GLC and GLE also provide a nice balance of comfort and driving dynamics, though they tend to prioritize luxury over sportiness compared to their BMW counterparts. The GLE can be equipped with a high-tech air suspension for an exceptionally smooth ride.

The Bottom Line

While BMW and Mercedes-Benz both produce fantastic luxury vehicles, they each have their own strengths. BMW is often the choice for driving enthusiasts, and you can find yours in the new inventory at our Alabama BMW dealership today.
