Despite all their strides since parting with Chrysler and BMW's complacency/laziness since 2009, I'd say the only thing Mercedes has on BMW is the S-class and AMG GT/S-coupe (8-series is a snooze fest).

Merc leases are far from terrible actually. Now that BMW has decided to lower residuals and bump up money factors significantly, C-Class leases are extremely competitive and in most cases more favorable. It's unfortunate. Audi is still the worst to lease among the big 3 German brands, but BMW is starting to come close...
Money factors of 4% and residuals in the mid to high 50% for 36 months aren't enticing for BMWs.
For anyone cross shopping a similarly priced 5 series and an E-Class for example, the terms would favor the Merc given the aggressive discounts to be had on them.
