Mercedes and BMW - German Automakers
The two most popular German automakers, Mercedes and BMW offer prestigious and high quality production cars and SUV’s for both American and International markets. The backround of the two is quite interesting.
BMW, aka Bayerische Motoren Werke AG, offers models distinguised by a numbers system. 3 series, 5 series, and 7 series are the most popular followed by the recent addition of 6 series, X series (SUV’s) and the z (sports convertibles) and the M (really cool sports versions of the 3 and 5 series). Pretty much a car for everyone.
The Mercedes-Benz, sometimes shortened to just “Mercedes”, “Benz” or “Merc”, is another premium German car. They are of one of the premier automotive manufacturers in the world and, because of its tie to Karl Benz, it is also the name of the world’s oldest continuously produced automobile line.
