2014 Mercedes Benz S550 or 2014 BMW 750?

For obvious reasons, the LS is not an option in this case.

I'd take the 750 simply because I can't stand basically any Mercedes anymore.
As for mechanical issues, I wouldn't trust either....it would have to be a CPO'd car.

Both will have their own set of issues - just set aside $10k and consider it part of purchase price.
For me its really a personal choice as the cars each have different personas.
750i would be the more sport oriented of the 2.

I would take the 7 series as I strongly dislike the S class styling.

The facelift 13+ 750 engine has been fixed.
My first 2011 750Li with 20k miles, had 9 repairs in one year which total more than 18k, so when 13' was released, I immediate changed to one, and 3 years after 20k miles, there wasn't a single problem, not even additional oil which my old one asked more than 5 quarts in 10k miles lol.

Sonderklasse every time, maybe unless it's an E39 with the style 37 wheels

I honestly would say they'd be about the same. I'd pick the Benz though simply because it's a newer body style with next-generation infotainment, safety systems, styling, etc. The 7-series is tuned to be a bit more athletic when in its sportiest trim if that's what one's after, although I do not like the throttle lag that's baked in. Mercedes has a dead spot in their accelerator (as they always have) but doesn't cause a jumpy throttle application like the BMW lag.
The 2014 models have the N63tu, which is fine. Benz drivetrain has been solid from the start.
