I recently bought a 2002 745. I really came close to buying a 2001 s500 sport.

I would rate the cars as equals. The BMW handles a little better. Its steering feel is world class. On the other hand, the Benz handled nearly as well and was a little more comfortable.

In the end I went with the BMW because price and warranty were better. I am pretty happy ith it.

However, neither one of these cars is a match for the quality of the 129.
