Video seems to be a general consensus of what most members say on this forum.
Merc having a variety of offerings in their portfolio does aide in the sales race against BMW. Hence BMW playing catch up with the 2 series GC.
BMW has somewhat redeemed theirselves with the design aspect from the dull F Generation. Exterior wise the new 3, X5, & 8 are some of the best looking in their segments. Interior wise is subjective but you can tell they stick to their driver focused/ race like theme. And visually it does look cleaner and sleeker than most.
EV is definitely something they may be lacking at but neither Merc or Audi has been doing successful either. The iNext/i5 does have a lot to live up to when it comes out given the competition but speaking with my SA, it might be a hit. Mentioned it was nothing like the offerings from anybody on the road today and that's the innovation we need from BMW now.
