With all respect to the BMW owners, the 600SEL can be compared with only 600 series or AMG 500 series. If someone offered me the most expensive BMW with model 2008 just to drive it for free including fuel I would prefer to use a MB 560.
Personally I would say that all cars are the same after MB 500 series and above. Starting from the most expensive Lexus to the cheapest Chinese Chery.

I really wonder how people can tolerate driving a car the is not made by Mercedes. If I really have to drive a car that is not a MB I'd drive a Volvo.
