My Ride: Range Rover Westminster Edition,6000 Mile Corvette C4 And titanium Gray 2005 530i
HI How is Everything
I Was Wondering If We Put The MB E350 Against The Bimmer 530i In An Acceleration Race.
Who Would Win??
And Anyone Had That Kind Of Race ?
Thanx

2007/2008 E350 would win out against 2007 530i. Mercedes will usually beat a BMW in straight line acceleration, there are exceptions of course. The exception being the 2008 535i with the bi-turbo.

Why Should It ((Usually)) Win In Straight Acceleration!!
I Know That The Bmw Has Better Engine + Lot Better Smarter Gear Box Not Like The Dumb Gear Box In The MB's.

Its too bad the 2008 530i you quoted with 272 hp isn't available in the US.

I will still vote for 530i, becuase E350 take off too softly.

Thats Right The US Engines Are Much Less Power Then Euro Cars, I Use To Had MB 560sel Euro Options And The Car Was Like A Rocket, My Friend Had The Same Car But With US Options We Had A Race Mine Was Away Much Faster .

Ok, well then why not quote the 255hp one? Remember also, the EU uses a different unit of measure when rating hp. This is the reason for the 255 vs. 258 difference. If the 272hp engine -were- to be brought to the US, it would be rated using our scale and would be several hp lower on paper - but identical in every other way.
530i - 255hp
0-60mph 6.4 (6.6 auto) seconds source, BMWUSA
E350 - 268hp
0-60mph 6.5 seconds source, MBUSA
So... you slushbox drivers might be 1/10th of a second behind... and we manual and SMG drivers would be 1/10th ahead. That's such a tight margin, it'd all come down to the driver and the reaction time.
Also - and I have said this a zillion times. These cars (E60s) are poor poor choices if you simply want to go fast or go around racing people. The 535i is rated to do 0-62 in 5.9 (6.0) seconds on the BMW Canada website. You can buy a V6 Camry that does a 5.8 0-60 and a 14.3 quarter... for $25K. If speed is you game, get something like that and then take the $35K you would have left over and buy a real fast toy.
