Well, not really. 5 series is a little cheaper than the E class and the ONLY reason he is considering the E class is because of the upcoming facelift...Well, that and the fact that he said he was sitting in a 2007 5 series and it looked exactly like his 2004 and there would be no thrill of having a new car which I guess is true, but its a BMW!!!!!! 
I keep telling him BMW's are better than MB. They don't break as much as MB, they have a better resale value, they look much better, and best of all, it's a BMW!!!!!!

Just tell him the computer stuff in MB is a load of sh*t and loads of bug too
It's all the name when it comes to cars for my dad. Looks and the name.

If these don`t work then, take him to a Luxury dealer and try out the new Lexus GS300 itis very good better then MB.
"I know Lexus is better than BMW and Mercedes but it doesn't have the name."
"I would NEVER buy a Lexus because it doesn't have a name."
He'd take a Jaguar XJ over a Lexus LS
:thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown:
I'll keep you updated to what he chooses to get

The exact words of my dad:
"I know Lexus is better than BMW and Mercedes but it doesn't have the name."
"I would NEVER buy a Lexus because it doesn't have a name."
He'd take a Jaguar XJ over a Lexus LS

But if you love driving then never get Lexus or Mercedes.
100% BMW always

Well Viper,
As I see it, you need to get into a fine collage and get yourself a good education -> -job.
Then you can buy whatever car you want
