5 series bmw is cheaper than e class and offers more mileage,but the handling in 5 series is not as comfortable as in e class,e class will ot provide u the power but handling is defintly much better……and otherwise bmw is far better in intereiors than e class…but if u already own a bmw go for mercedes

我的宝马740是06年购买的，到现在有6个月后退和加油自行的时候都踩不到刹车，每行1000公里左右就要加1公升的机油，这是什么原因捏？

i think the e550 coupe is awesome inside and looks better than a 3 series car. imo.
the c63 is a blast to drive, although it will lose out to the m3 on the track, unless the track is 5 miles long and has no corners, then the bmw will lose like a puppy.
each car has something special to offer, i like the bmw handling but love the amg engine better…….

For the high price tag, BMW’s should have more trunk space for emergency equipment like spare tire, jumper cables; and for recreational equipment for people who like the great outdoors. I have no purchased a BMR for that reason.

I like the BMW and own the previous 5-class , E60 but one thing I don’t like about the new 5-er is the lack of a spare tire…. I hate RFT and use performance 19-20″ rims but without a spare, it would be a pita if I ever got a flat……

Oh yeah, and the F10 is way heavier than its previous model.

I like the BMW interior and both exteriors are nice but the E class in that picture should have been Black. Its very close but I think the BMWs in driving dynamics and the choice of a manual transmission

In my opinion, Design-wise, Mercedes has a much better exterior styling. Much more dynamic and aggressive than the 5er exterior, which looks good but pales in comparison. On the other hand, the interior of the 5 Series looks much better than the E-class in terms of design and ergonomics. The unpolished wood accents on the Merc interior is a nice touch though.

Performance-wise I think Mercedes has better engines than BMW. The AMG pumps so much torque no car can compete with in a straight line, while BMW has superb and undisputed handling, which makes driving BMWs a true pleasure.

BMW all day long, the beautiful styling of it & its luxurious interior wins for me every time without even including its cheaper price tag.

Just bought the new BMW 530d and i am very happy with my decision. I have had MB for the last 10 years and alway preferred them to BMW. I test drove both the E class and the 5 series before making my decision and to be honest it was easy! BMW have made a fantastic car that is better looking, more luxurious ( I know ur going to say how can this be and its simple it drives as smooth as the 7 series with the handling of nimble car), performance and fuel economy are far better also.

Mercedes have really fallen behind recently in terms of styling and quality and even for someone like me who has been loyal to the brand they have nearly made it impossible to choose the E class over the New 5 series.

I’m learning more and more. I drove the Caddy CTS-V and it has some power man. It is way too cramped though for the price and it being a sedan. I’m excited for the 550i with more leg room, and the similar speed.

Can anyone give me some expectations with the 4.4 L V8 Turbo for the 550i with possible mods vs the displacement of the 6.2 Supercharged Caddy? I’m looking for the speed and realize BMW saying it does 5 sec 0-60 is most likely very conservative as they tend to do, my 335i with minor mod does what they claim 5.4 0-60 in 4.4. … So the 550i is probably in the 4.5 sec range without mods. Will Dinan do mods right away? With mods will it be in the 500 HP and 550 LB torque?

5.5 with AMG! haha, you got to be kidding ! In straight Line no car CAN beat the AMG! it has a big lorry torque!
The E63 kicks out the M5 every time it tries to beat it!
AMG Is simply the perfect engine that’s why in formula and dtm races the safety cars are always AMGs

MB dealers will agree with BMW dealers that the BMW 5′s are stronger and faster. The new 550 will be faster or as fast as the M3 and 6.3. With the luxury it carries the 550 will be the hottest upper middle class car in US since the new M3 came out. (upper class kids that now are having a baby and need a 4 door that the wife will approve)… And it will be side by side down the highway with those super speed cars, while being much more comfortable than the overpriced MB and average Audis. There is really no reason for buying a Mercededs. Check this out,

It’s like Samsung and Sony TVs.. Samsung TVs are better, less epxensive and its not even close. Take it from someone that owns 2 businesses installign and dealing TVs and home theater… But the Sony carries a 20% market up for the name in almost all their products compared to their worth. But as an videophile Samsung has been outperforming Sony for years, better picture, smoother refresh rate, slimer screens now and brighter colors. But a lot of people will still just think Sony is top tier without looking at them side by side.

** This is off subject sorry.,

but what I find the most interesting about the posts is that BMW has always been a little lacking in the entertainment area for me, but many are touting that the 5 series are loaded. I am excited for this. And lastly the seat heat is awesome in all BMW. That is something my wife and I enjoy over our Lexus and the MB. Little things.

I’m looking to have one of the first 550′s off the lot. I’ll be back to write about it in a couple months. bw… feel free to email me at info @ socalinstalls.com if you want to talk about the 5. I don’t want to have haters emails, nothing will be solved that way. but feel free o comment.

All, I have read with interest your comments about BMW, MB and Audis. I feel there is a lot of biased information. I used to purchase Audis for the last 25 years or so (Yes I am old but not that old!). I could not find a decent economical Audi and I also felt that the interior of the new A6 and A5 is too “plastic”. I was thinking to go for an A5 sportback quattro or an A6 Quattro but I felt both cars were not economical enough and the engines seemed old. Even considering the smaller engines, these were not economical enough. I therefore searched for an economical engine and investigated the BMW 520d and 525d. Both of these engines were not as economical or powerful as the E250 CDI. I just had a delivery of an E250 CDI sport manual. It seems a great car to drive although the messages above got me a bit concerned about the fuel consumption not being real as I was not getting more than 47 mpg (UK figures). Last week I drove the car at 51 miles/hour on cruise control on the motorway and for 43 miles (fifth gear to get maximum torque at about 1600 rpm) and it showed on the mpg meter to be 63.2 mpg after 43 miles. The MB spec indicates 64.2 mpg and I as really pleased now that I have achieved 63.2 mpg. I also noticed that here in the UK BMW show comparisons on their website for the E220 but not the E250. I did choose a Manual because the MB did not offer their automatic 7 speed gear box on the E250. The automatic for the E250 is a 5 speed gearbox. Anyway, I am used to a manual gearbox and their 6 speed new manual gearbox it is nice and smooth unit.
The only thing I will miss moving from the Audi is the quattro!. I also find the car extremely quiet and confortable. Good luck to all those they want to buy a BMW and those sad MB Taxi drivers in Munich…

И я соглошусь с тобой XC, М5 моя любимая модель в BMW, я уверен что она будет как всегда безупречна во всём, я надеюсь что она будет быстра и… точно сказанно, агресивна, жду не дождусь!!

I agree Алеко, but let’s wait and see how the M5 turns out, guess it will be a pretty agressive fenders design.

А мне бльше салон BMW нравется, у Мерседес панель приборов какая то угловатая, а у BMW более продуманно и симпотичнее, с зади Мереседес помоему вообще не смотрится, BMW лучше, единственное что у BMW не понравилось… так это нижняя часть передного бампера, но я уверень что его скоро (рестаилинг) поменяют, вобщем BMW по моему лучще!!
