Merc's just don't have the handling... Driving experience is all about the combination of handling and power, and BMW has had that mastered in their M cars for decades.
Pass me the keys to the M3...

They are trying too hard to compete directly with Top Gear, instead they should find a niche where they stand apart and exploit it.

Those two reviewers are fine and are both what I would consider top gear class (and they all have worked together). The problem is the other FG presenters are terrible.
Oh and I vote //M though It's not exactly what I had in mind for the new M3 and I'd rather have a 335.

First off lets all agree these assholes have the best job in the world.
For daily driving I would take the Mercedes because in the northeast it's all about light to light fun and balls out horsepower. Not having to deal with a manual is also a plus and I can't stand the BMW Idrive. How many times am I going to drift my $75,000 car around streets and honestly how much of that //M tuning are you going to use on a daily basis.

I like Tiff and Vicki myself. Fifth Gear is a good show and is more focused on consumer info whereas Top Gear is more entertaining. Top Gear is more fun for sure.....
Oh and E92 M3 all day long, everyday, and twice on Sundays....
