What did I say, I simply call it like I see, Mercedes-Benz has the proper momentum, a bullet proof line up from top to bottom, and still isn't finished with big launches which include the GLC, C Class Coupe, and the atomic bomb AKA New E Class

Carry on Benz....

You can always tell when AudiNut posts something about BMW,
A) by the ridiculously slanted title, and
B) because the article itself has nothing to do with his ridiculous slant in the title.

Slant or not, facts are facts. Benz' very aggressive approach these days is paying off for them. And it will just continue with the upcoming GLC, C-coupes, and new E-class.

Just trying to represent what BMW's results mean in context of the broader picture. BMW's global sales increased by 5.8% means what exactly? There are implications to these numbers and they are not viewed in a vacuum.

My last five cars have been BMW's and the only MB I ever considered was the GL/ML. BMW played it too safe with the new 7-series and I hope the X7 does not disappoint. BMW should not worry about who is #1 in sales or a Porsche 911 fighter. Focus on style, customer service, safety, driving experience, etc.
