Let’s be clear: The BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi brands know how to pamper. Plush leather seats are available across their lineups, while interior accents infuse your surroundings with elegance.
That glint you see out of the corner of your eye? It may be the sleek sheen of the handmade, diamond-cut Glass Controls in your BMW. Many models in the lineup make glass trim elements available. These accents are made of Swarovski crystals, a luxury glass fashioned from quartz sand and natural minerals.
Spot them on the Start/Stop button and iDrive Controller too. Even the transmission selector gets glass armor! An illuminated “X” marks the spot for your thumb as you perform every last gearshift. Audi and Mercedes-Benz? Sadly, no Glass Controls to be found.
It’s not unusual to see a luxury car with a moonroof—even a panoramic moonroof—standard across the model’s trim levels. Slide inside most cars from BMW, Mercedes-Benz, or Audi, and you will find at least an option for this classy creature comfort.
What makes moonroofs so appealing? You and your passengers can enjoy a fresh wave of endorphins as fresh air and natural sunlight pour into the cabin. Moonroofs make for a roomier environment as well.
Some BMW cars come with an optional Panoramic Sky Lounge LED Roof—a feature Mercedes-Benz and Audi cannot match. When the sun goes down, recline and observe your personal planetarium above! A starry sky composed of 15,000 points of light glows in six ambient, atmospheric colors.
From daily drivers to true thrill-seekers, there’s a BMW, Mercedes-Benz, or Audi for everyone. All three brands have been celebrated for their performance over the years.
Most, if not all, of their models are available with state-of-the-art all-wheel drive (AWD) systems. You can also choose from exhilarating engines in their lineups of high-performance cars, like the BMW M Series. The Audi RS models and Mercedes-Benz AMG models most certainly stand out too.
If you want to save fuel and the environment, as well, check out the latest hybrid and electric cars from these brands. All three know the value of electrification, though BMW and Audi have more experience in this area. Mercedes-Benz has far fewer hybrid and electric models in its lineup.
Obviously, the BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi brands have so much to offer luxury car shoppers with a love of performance. You can find qualities to love in all these cars as you hit the streets of Philadelphia, Meridian, and Laurel, MS, in your next new ride. Which brand will serve you best?
