Not a BMW fan so no ideas on thoses. I personally like the M class MB because I think they are better built than the BMW, but I am sure there are others that would disagree. I had a SLK that was a great car. Easy to work on, decent prices on line when needed, and a great forum over at benzworld.org. I don't think you can go wrong with a M class.

Currently we have a MKX FWD and a Flex AWD. Both are good vehicles so far - the MKX rides better than the old Lexus RX we had. Plus I like getting cheaper parts and service. Now I am not a huge fan of how either looks - both the MB and BMW look better, but since I am older I was looking for a ride and other perks for a decent price. I like the looks of the Ford Edge better, but the ride quality of the MKX is a bit better.

The Flex is a fantastic family cruiser - it is like owning your own small bus. And my wife wanted as a grandchild hauler. Again, not pretty, but very functional - and extremely quiet and comfortable.

Good luck with your search.
