Jeff, having owned BMW's and Mercedes in the past I'd say that coming from
a Porsche background, you would be happier in the BMW. It's hard to say why but there is something about BMW's that will make you feel more at home. Mercedes, for all of their recent AMG work, still have a target sales group that is somewhat
more inclined to go for comfort that performance. BMW offers sport options
in almost every vehicle they own. The estate models are no exception and tend
to handle quite well. I think in general you'd be happier with a BMW.
I wish there were more estate models to choose from in the U.S., they've just never been that popular here...
