With a cockpit angled towards the driver, a double bend on the C-pillar (Hofmeister kink), and the striking rear end, the BMW E21 meets the tastes of the sports-inclined consumer classes.   Production period: 1975–1983 Engines: 1.6–2.3 Liter (55–105 kW/75–143 hp), 4- & 6-cylinder Length/width/height: 4,355 mm/1,610 mm/1,380 mm

  While the M8 Gran Convertible is the fastest of the two with times of 3.1 seconds for the basic vehicle and 3.0 seconds for the Performance, the Mercedes is not far distant. The BMW 1 Model has a 1.5-liter gasoline motor, while the next BMW X7 will have a 5.0-liter V8 gasoline turbine. The I series also has battery-powered electric motors with variable output, driving ranges, and recharging intervals. As an example, Mercedes offers a wide variety of engines, beginning with the A180, a 1.3-liter gasoline unit featured in the A-Class, and culminating in the G63, a 6.0-liter V8 with 585 horsepower.

  Mercedes has its roots back in 1886 with the invention of the internal combustion engine. After being one of the first to produce a petrol-powered vehicle, Karl Benz went on to produce the first four-wheel petrol car in 1891.

A merger that took place following the First World War would see the manufacturer become ‘Mercedes-Benz’ – the brand we know today. BMW came around a little later, launching in 1916 as a manufacturer of aircraft engines. It wasn’t until 1928 that the brand become an automobile manufacturer. The first vehicles that BMW manufactured were a product of its purchase of Fahrzeugfabrik Eisnach, rebadging its Dixi cars as BMWs before expanding further into sports and luxury vehicles throughout the 1930s.
