All cars are excellent, however I would say for the fuel economy the BMW or Audi are the best, especially for around the town as they are slightly lighter cars.
Driving, the Audi and the Merc are more comfortable as BMW suspension tends to be slightly or the hard side.
I would pick a front wheel drive motor if you live in an area with high levels of snowfall because rear wheel drive (BMW & Merc) will not get you anywhere, unless you have 4WD capabilities.
I drive a BMW 325I and love the car, I'm up to about 175K miles and the car is only 8 years old.
Any of the motors will be reliable and last you well, all cost about the same service and parts-wise. Saying that a front wheel drive can suffer from fatique with the front suspension but that's the chance you take.
Although I have to say that I'm looking at an A6 for my next car

Audi is a front-wheel drive while M-B and BMW are rear-wheel drive. Audi A4 is less reliable out of these three (front suspension, electrical, engine problems) Merc and BMW are fairly good but parts are expensive. I'd pick Mercedes-Benz for smooth ride and quality interior.

I see that you are considering the German car. Germany car produces are really great. I do not count the Audi A4, but Mercedes and BMW 3 series are great.
i recommend you that Mercedes 200 series are best.

The Mercedes 190/200 series has been out of production for over a decade. Maybe you mean a C-Class? I love mine!

The BMW and Audi are both fine cars. Mercedes reports are not so good lately.
BMW rear wheel drive, excellent chassis, poor paintwork
Audi front wheel or 4 wheel drive, lovely car

My boyfriend and I have a BMW 325i and Love it! Great car...everything about it is great. The only downfall is they told us to put premium gas in it and that hurts a little but it is good on gas.
