MB has more torque but BMW has more Horsepower. The torque amount of torque is only good off the line if you can put it to the ground without breaking traction. The horsepower on the other hand is what will count as the speeds rise.
As for BMW vs MB the BMW is still more fun to drive then MB any day. The MB philosophy has always been to make luxury German Muscle cars. I can understand that philosophy and even like it to some extent. However, I prefer BMW approach of power without control is nothing attitude.
As for DTM you can cut it which ever way you want by making excuses for Audi and MB loss. Bottom line is BMW came back as the new kid on block and kicked ass to win the DTM.

NO! DTM cars are more or less the same. RWD, NA 4l V8. Plus with Audi's and MB's consent they changed the rules and each gave BMW one great driver to ALLOW BMW to be competitive in 2012 DTM. All for the sake of sport. I wish F1 and WRC were like that.
