In the video below, we teamed up with DriveMag to compare the all-new BMW 5 Series against its archival, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, a car that many felt was untouchable, in terms of design, by BMW.

While the BMW 5 Series has looks that try and blend performance and sportiness with luxury and elegance, the E-Class seems to be more focused on old-world luxury. Yet the new 5er, with its wide headlights and aggressive front fascia, will likely stand out more.
The new 5 Series has an excellent interior, but so does the E-Class.The Mercedes E-Class has a very good looking, very luxurious and very supple cabin, while the 5 Series’ cabin is sharp, driver-oriented and still luxurious. It’s also packed with incredible tech.

Fixed it for you (both M Sport pack) . Didn’t think BMW took legacy THAT seriously (that’s E28 vs G30 btw) https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/f9600e73261b4b59d723f3dd3b86532eb27044bbe79456ff2ece53a639de8930.jpg

The same interior basically. BMW is so incompetent.
That’s called a timeless design, just like the 911’s exterior. It’s part of the branding.
But it says “Luxury” on the side of the car. That makes it Luxurious.
Yes, there we have it. I won’t even spit at the 5 series, since the E-Class is much much better. The difference is night and day. Just look at the interiors, and the comparison is finished already at that stage.
It’s telling that BMW’s best car (M2) is its smallest and is based on one of its cheapest models, the 2 series.
Mercedes wins the interior game by far. Exterior wise however, BMW is on top.
I agree. Anything above the 4 series has a decent interior, but when you look at the 4GC’s exterior and then look at the interior, at makes no sense. A car that expensive shouldn’t have such a cheap looking interior.
Exterior wise bmw is on top? Are you drunk, my friend? bmw is the only non sense car maker on this planet. I’d take a 1970 VW rather than the latest 7 series. I wouldn’t even spit at bmw, since they don’t deserve even that. Mercedes-Benz constantly make fun of them, and I enjoy it. bmw is just a piece of crap.
OMG, this new 5 series is just a piece of shit just like bmw itself. I just wonder how stupid some people can be to put the crap called bmw next to Mercedes-Benz. Well, there’s an old saying: “There are automobiles and there is Mercedes-Benz.” However hard you try, pathetic bmw, you’ll never come close. Don’t you believe me? Then look at the S-Class. Though it’s even enough for you to look at an A-Class, since even in this case you don’t have anything in your portfolio even at that level (it’s even better than your idiotic 7 series).
E class plse. The bmw’s interior is 20 years still the same. Not only in the 5 series.
So technology and comfort: Mercedes Benz
