Everybody goes to look at a new car. Many times. Nothing to do with the car, more the experience.
No comparison between the two, take it from someone who has had both.
I still love starting my 5 up every day because it's a blast to drive. Never thought that about the E, nor did my wife, who is pretty much OK with anything with heated seats.
And most people still try to get ahead of me. What do you think they are trying to prove? Never did that in the E.

Luxury cars under 80k Based on appearance only
1) Jaguar
2) Audi
3) Mercedes
4) Lexus
5) BMW
6) Infiniti
The only car I would ever consider owning over an e60 would be the new A5. That car is pure SEX!!!

I seem to hear a lot of comments of "you are comparing apples to oranges" and other mindless comments from people lately.
With that said.,. IMO MB is focused more on luxury, hence the lack of performance compared to BMWs.
BMW is focused more on sporty and performance oriented.

E Class is a direct competitor for the 5 series. I don't know why you guys are saying they are different type of cars.

You cant even compare E class with 5 series. I believe the E class goes with the 3 series (if any)

My neighbor/friend Ken just brought his new E300 home
. His family keeps looking at it and it makes me look at it too! No offense to y'all but for me, it makes the 5er look cheap. Please convince me that the 5er is not just a sporty sedan but a classy sport sedan since I am gonna order my 530i within this month

Look all you want, but you spend more time behind the wheel and that's where the BMWs beauty shines through.
Enjoy the 530.

I always go with the style of the car, and design.
From these 3 German brands: Audi, MB, and BMW. I would pick BMW, because of the 5 series
. In "MY" opinion neither Audi nor MB have a car that I would pick over mine (Staying in the same price range of course). Is not just the brand, "I" think the 5 series, in "MY" opinion has better even style than the 1,3,Z,X, and 6 series.
