Drive around a track in a BMW and a Benz and you know why there are so many BMWs on the Nuerburgring-Nordschleife and not so many Benzes
Look at the McLaren F1 and what engine Gordon Murray chose for that supercar. |
There are more BMW's because as dicussed in the thread the BMW is the drivers car. Most MB's are driven by professionals who have no interest in the track. Different type of car and market.
