BMW 5 Series vs Mercedes E-Class 2018 review - which is best? | Head2Head
The new BMW 5 Series has arrived. But is it better than the Mercedes E-Class? To find out I put the two premium saloons head-to-head in a series of tests. I'll compare their design, interior, technology, space and practicality as well as seeing how they both drive. The Mercedes smashed the previous BMW 5 Series in 2016. But will it be able to defend its crown against this all-new 5 Series which actually shares a lot of its parts and technology with the larger, more expensive 7 Series? Watch to find out.

Heart says BMW, Brain says Merc, Pocket says Dacia
ahahah nice one

My wallet said Merc.
Lets be honest, these two are the best you can get in the world in the segment. No matter what other brand you look at. At the end, they are both the best. Which one you personally chose is just up to personal preference.
I'm a BMW guy, I find E Class sexy as always and I think it's worth leading the segment, but if one day I decided to buy a car from this class, I'd choose BMW anyday because I just like it much more, the new G30 looks more elegant than the F10. Sometimes it's a question of reason, sometimes It's a question of preference.
c7master I actually think it's the other way around.... the BMW looks more sporty but the e class looks more elegant
c7master Would agree yes
Hasan Al-habbobi the 5 series is very elegant too though
James R. Astor from Austria it is but not as elegant as the e class, however it is more sporty
I drove both when choosing my company car and ended up picking the BMW. I do no think that one is better than the other, it is just matter of which one is better for you. Objective things first: - To me the cabin of the BMW was quieter than the Merc while driving. - The ride was a bit rougher in the BMW, but the BMW was on 20 inch run-flats, while the Merc was on 18 inch standard tiers. - The navigation system in the BMW is more responsive than the Merc's system (zooming, entering addresses, switching menus, etc.) - Trunk in Merc is bigger - I think Mercedes still has not figured out where to place the rotary dial to actually be used comfortably. You cannot rest your arm while using it, you have to bend your elbow backwards...putting that touch-pad on top of the rotary dial makes the dial hard to use. None of those issues with the BMW. - The Merc's windscreen wipers made a lot of noise, those in the BMW were 100% silent. This may or not be fixable. - The Merc was cheaper than the BMW, but the monthly lease price for the BMW was lower - so less devaluation for the BMW. Subjective: - The Merc feels bigger than the BMW while you drive it. Some people probably like the feeling of driving a big car, I don't. - I think the dash of the Merc is very flashy when you first see it, but after 3 hours of driving I started to dislike it - those 2 vertical screens just don't work for me. I also don't like the look of the extended sun-cap that covers both screens. It gives the feeling of sitting behind a wall. I imagine those two screens together are also quite bright at night (did not test it). I like to drive with a very dark cabin at night. - The BMW is certainly not so flashy inside, but the quality felt better to me and I still liked it after 3 hours :-) I actually like the screen sticking out of the dash. It puts the screen high where you can look it at while still looking at the road, while not blocking more of the view as necessary. - Exterior of the Merc C or E is exactly the same, and I do not like it very much, but that would not stop me; I buy a car to drive it, not to look at it all day. - I do not like the graphics of the Merc's dials, media system or navigation system a lot. - Riding the BMW makes me feel my age (40), the Merc makes me feel older :-) - The Merc has more of "have you seen my fancy car" feel to it, while the BMW is more subtle (which I prefer). So all in all, the BMW is my choice for the reasons above, you may have other reasons to pick the Merc - being able to ride either one is already a very big luxury.
BlueHome mercs interior is much nicer
To you yes, to me no 😀 To each his or her own taste. That is why there are so many choices of everything on this world.
BlueHome this is true.
Bluehome I agree on many of your comments. I owned the F10 528i for almost 5 years and was contemplating between the new E Class or the G30 for an upgrade. I finally went for the G30 M Sport 530 - the aggressive look , the blue brake callipers , the new amazing idrive with car play , the rims etc all just seems so right to me. I prefer the evolutionary approach in car design ( I have a Porsche 911 also ). This is my 5th day owning the car and you can tell how excited I am about the purchase. I've probably watched this video for the 5th time now LOL. Regards MRZ
I was also choosing between the two and I agree 100% with your very objective comparison. I have however chosen the Merc:). I like it but In terms of infotainment the BMW is 2x better. The one in the Merc is really sluggish and not very logical. I got used to the menus and the navigation, but not the the sluggishness:(. Anyway after driving the 5 series for 5 years i needed a change.
im Bmw fan but i respect Mercedes both are good car
Brendon Gashi I'm a Mercedes fan but I like the BMW it's a fantastic car
Both are great, I don't understand people hating on them
Hard choice aye. Ive Had both have a benz now luv it but I do miss my 328 beemas handle a lot better good road feel benz smoother and quite.. Were on the money what a hell choice. 😂 Beema.
I also
I'm a BMW fan too!
So I own a G31 for almost two years now and right now, I'm in the market for it's replacement. I drove the E-Class and the A6 and I have to say: all three of them are pretty good cars and in the end it will be a matter of personal taste. Here's my opinion: It's correct, the Merc kinda hugs you. You close the door and leave the world on the outside. It has a special feel to it, and it is nice. BUT you really don't have much fun while driving it (I'm not talking about AMGs, though). I never felt like I wanted to go on a twisty road with the E-Class. However, it was comfortable like no other. The Audi struggles with it's FWD and being a bit topheavy. The 50TDI had a noticeable 'starting weaknes' when getting off from a stillstand, the 40 TDI didn't have that.. In both cases I didn't like the steering wheel. It was too thin and hard (the M steering wheel in the 5 series is padded). The 5 series has a bit more 'sharpness' to it that just makes you feel good and gives you a grin on your face. It really combines the best of both worlds (luxury comfort and sportiness). When on a twisty, you just want to go fast. When on the motorway / highway / Autobahn, you are perfectly fine to just cruise along and relax. For the interior: the Audi looks great at first sight, but for me, the whole infotainment-system doesn't really work as good as the one in the BMW. I can't use voice control (Audi's is better than the one on the 5 series) that much since I'm on the phone a lot. And focussing on the touchscreens is quite a big distraction when you're driving in heavy traffic. I'm missing just a few (maybe programmable) buttons for the most used functions. This would help a lot. For the Mercedes: I just don't understand that system. It is not logical or intuitive, at all. Plus the control-wheel is placed very bad. There was no relaxed way to use it. Voice control as good as in the BMW, satnav a bit slower. So in the end, I guess I will get another 5 series. Maybe just with a bigger engine this time (right now on a 520d).
your review was realy informative! thank you sir.
👌💯💯💯💯
I have to agree with James R. Astor: The 5 and the E are both great cars. I've test driven them both while shopping for a new company car and although I loved the E class, I did go for the 5 series in the end. Just because I felt that it's style and 'personality' fitted me better. Does that mean that the E wasn't good? Not at all, it's a brilliant car, just different. Regarding some of the comments here: it's a bit sad to see some people who are slaggin' off a car they don't like. It's ok if you don't like it.. it's called 'personal preference'. But don't say the car is bad because then you look /sound like a fool. Non of these cars are bad, on the contrary. The best part is that I'm sure half of those moaners can't even afford a car in this class... My advice: please grow up.
New 5 Series is just gorgeous.
This is by far the most practical motoring reviewing youtube page. Cubby spaces, seating space for three at the back, boot space, noise and general ride comfort. At this point in my life that's all I wanna know about how a car (no matter the price) performs.
I LOVE your reviews! The trunk part is very thoughtful and helped me decide which car to rent for my trip :)
Let's face it - these are two exceptional cars, made by two of the world's best manufacturers. You're hardly going to feel like you got the raw end if you picked one of these over the other
You dont even have a equipped 5 series like the Mercedes. The headlights are the standard one in the 5. Take the full headlights on the 5 and it changes the look !!
That's what I thought, too
😅there's no headlights upgrades for the Benz
@@davidtelllez2876 there is, maybe not in the UK, but there's high performance LED (which has the main unit on the outside) and Multibeam (which this car has, with main units on the inside). In Germany you can also get halogen reflector style headlights and I think even xenon bulbs (again with the main bulb on the inside, but with a white accent instead of a blue one when it's lit)
When the M5 comes out can you do a Head2Head between it and the E63s?
E63s has 603hp it will kil it
M5 will have over 600hp and bmw always under rate the horse power for some reason, so probably looking at around 650hp for the new m5
NM still e63 is better, on paper atleast. It has luxury and sporty features at the same time.
Can't beat the E63S because E63S is an AWD car. More power and easily beat the M5.
Intel & Nvidia SUXXZZZ!!! New m5 is 4 wheel drive
I haven't even watched the video yet and I already know he's going to say the BMW's infotainment is better
BMW has the best infotainment system it is even used in Rolls-Royce
Jim H because BMW own Rolls Royce
@@anhtuanleminh1149 No shit
Not by choice
BMW own rolls royce. Search it
Lol its bcz bmw own rolls Royce
lovey review and comparing! first time checking your chanel and YES IVE SUBSCRIBED !
BMW just puts the smile on your face it’s a different driving experience :)
Both great cars, I bought the e class estate over the 5 as I went for the 7 seater option which gives it great flexibility with my kids, so I didn't have to buy a dreaded people carrier or Jeep. The 2.0 diesel has adequate grunt and with the 9 speed auto is so relaxing to drive over long distances and a real world mid 40's mpg average so far.
Good to hear someone actually buying a car based on what they need instead of what others think. I bought the 5 series personally.
This is the second review that I watch of these two rivals and it seems that the BMW is surprisingly quieter on the inside both times.
Very hard to compare these two really nice cars....would essentially come down to a matter of preference. And for me, it has to be the E-class!
Please do a car review video on the new 2018 BMW X3 and the 2018 Mercedes GLC!
What I like about these cars is, that both manufacturers seem to concentrate on it's roots again. If you like a sporty drive, you get more than enough comfort in the 5-series. And if you are looking for a comfy car the merc provides you with enough sportiness when you need it. In my opinion no-one needs allrounders. Cars need to have an own manufacturer-given DNA. So you just need to know your personal preferences. Quality and pricing as well as safety are nearly the same in all German premium cars. Liked the review Mat, even though I am a passionate merc driver. Greetings from good old Germany!
this is where audi is trying to be a mercedes plus bmw but it wont work
If we talk about roots early 2000 Mercedes was winning in the performance department while bm was winning with the looks. That don’t mean Mercedes was ugly not at all. In 2006 again Mercedes was beating bm with performance with the c63 and e63 then bm started lying about performance figures which they still do to this date. They give the car more then what it says on paper. I believe if Mercedes starts getting back in time with the performance I believe it will be the the best full stop. It has the best looks best interior just lacking performance very marginal as looking at drag racers with the 2 it’s not much in it.
i test drove both of them on highway and in city and after a month's researching and watching such videos i went for the BMW 5 series, G30 520i executive plus here in Dubai. The price for which (including registration and insurance) is 201,000 Emirates Dirham or 42,400 GBP. - 23rd April 2019 Main reason is the service pakcage of BMW is awesome. its for 60,000 KM or 3 years including brakeshoes and all areas (only battery and tyres not covered) Merc was offering 45000km service warranty with minimal coverage.
You're better off getting a certified pre-owned 530i. AGMC has a couple of them listed for 205,000, and it's definitely worth the massive power increase.
@@smar7931 I wanted to go for 530 but there is no difference in pickup, traction etc. Both hit 0-100 7.2s. So I didn't want to take an extra 35000 AED for just some cool features. Also i didnt wana go for used cars, but definitely that would be a good buck saver
I have a 2010 E class and honestly it is the best car I've ever driven
I think you need to go and drive more cars... I used to want a W212 badly until I test drove a few of them! I hope I don't get the same feeling after driving a W213.
same 😂😂e350
Richard Agreed, the W212 wasn’t the E-Class’s best generation.... personally I prefer the driving experience of the W211 and W213. Also not a fan of the relatively dated looking interior in the W212s, especially compared to the W211, and the huge leap the W213 took.
Timothy L agree the W211 and the W213 are the Most beautiful. Before i bought the w213 I drove the W211 and it is still a wonderful car
I have sold my e class from 2010 on 650 k km. and the engine was still perfect. I respect the bmw as a driver but when it comes to quality , comfort and endurance mercedes is the best car for the money.
The E class is getting a new line up of diesels later this year. The new 2 litre is 170kg lighter than this particular one in the 220d. They're both great cars though..
I think Merc should go back to the classic grill with the hood ornament. Thats equally as iconic as BMW's kidney grills. I just don't think Mercedes needs to slap a big logo on the grill. Their grill design alone lets you know what it is.
This is the saloon version, there are three exteriors for the e class. The avantgarde, exclusive and saloon. The exclusive is the good looking classic Mercedes.
Kun Lin In the UK we only get SE/Avantgarde and AMG Line.
Alex Sosna The hood ornament was removed because of how often they were stolen.
jamjax no of course it still exists, go on the Mercedes uk website
Kun Lin exclusive version is just to ugly because of that ugly front bumper, avantgarde has almost same bumper and its just so ugly... why we cant have classic grill hood ornament and amg bumpers
There’s something about the English car channels that you don’t find in the American shows, blooming lovely!
I have 2015 520d and love almost everything about this car. But when I see this new e-class with it's refinement, style and more luxurious feel, I also crave to change to a new e-class.
I had a 2011 350 CDi and loved it although the 7G tronic box wasn't the quickest. Anyone owned both, wondering if the 9G is much better?
The front seats look wider in the BMW, which is not to say that the Merc's seats are not comfortable but the comfort seats in the BMW are just fantastic. At the end of the day choosing between the 5 series and the E class will remain a question of preference - if you've been a BMW fan like me all your life it's not very likely that you'll choose the E class, but on the other hand if you've owned 2 generations of E class Mercs I'm sure you're gonna stick with it.
In India or China, the E-Class comes with a Long Wheelbase as standard - Standard reclining rear seats! Its Unbelievably better here, but in any other country it would be a tough call between the two
Great head 2 head, from now on may all head 2 heads please include a drag race of some sort..
Amazing honest review Thx
Who also can't afford any of them but still watches the video?
For me it has to be the BMW but that is not discrediting the E class. It comes down to personal choice. I love BMWs especially 5 series and 7. However if someone offered me either car I would grab them with open arms. It's true the Germans make the best in terms of luxury. Others just are trying to keep pace with them e.g. Jaguar and Lexus.
Reading this thread Eoin you are a diamond in the dust - just about to get a new car and will be going 5 series
Both r amazing but i drove e class and those sporty seats were not that comfy idk how it goes in merc but in bmw they have those comfort seats as an option which is pretty cool when u have M package. Anyways both of them r nice to see on the roads!
i would say if you look for comfort and eco ride get e220d if you want comfort and dynamic drive with nice sound and reasonable fuel economy get 540i
The interior of the E class in in another league, especially at night. I get over 65 mph on a long trip in absolute luxury. I love it
Agree
it is beutifull, but not as well build like an audi or BMW.
65 mph? Are you trying to say 65 mpg fuel economy? I have the 540i and with ambient lights and heads up display it's basically a space ship at night.
Did he really excelerate in comfort mode 🤦🏻♀️. Any features like intelligent key system that other cars have. 1. Start your car with remote key 2. Press request button when you approach your car to unlock without actually having to dig for the keys. 3. Smart key lockout protection. ALSO: please put seat warmers and coolers for front seats and back seats.
FRANKIEONPC are you really commentating videos now? I am actually really happy right now!
Both fantastic cars, I don't think you can determine which one is 'best' as it comes down to personal preference. My preference of car is BMW as I prefer the drive, the simplicity of the layout, and how intuitive iDrive is. The next person may prefer Merc for similar reasons. Swings and roundabouts
1:24 I love those rim caps! 😃😍
The days when reviews included cabin noise measurements and information of how these cars will be used in the real world. Now it's mostly steering feel, 'interior quality' aka subjective whoever pay me more shilling and sportyness.
Good lad. I've vought a 5 series M sport last week and I absolutely love it.
I love your reviews... Lots of love to you from India 😊
The best joke that I heard about a Mercedes, a few day ago...EVER! A boss, a bussiness owner, just drives and parks his brand new Mercedes with full options, in the parking lot of his company and then an employee comes outside and starts admiring his bosses Mercedes...the boss goes to the guy and looks him in the eyes and asks him if he likes it, and he says its great...than the boss says: - Next year if you will work really hard, you will be a very good employee and you will do more overtime...I am gonna buy an even nicer Mercedes!
Not a joke but a reality.
I do get that the command system on all benzes are difficult to use, but why doesnt carwow ever mention the speach control or try using it in comparison or parred with the command system
pascalsss because a lot of them are useless as they either require specific commands or just simply do not understand. However, the new 5 Series allows the driver to speak in a casual tone rather than specific commands.
the tech when it comes to voice commands is just not here yet when it comes to cars^ its ok at best
but thats exactly the thing, the systems do work, i mean even if it just radio or navigation or for phone calls, the systems are better than taking your eyes off the road, and ive seen a mercedes system which even recognises dialects
It's pretty seamless once you get over the learning curve. The volume roller feels a bit unnatural after decades of having a knob but aside from that. I find it very easy to use
The two systems are well different, I like both Merc changed a lot over the last few years and BMW not.
I really like the exterior styling of the Merc but hate that messy over fussy interior. They're both really good cars though and it's just down to personal preference in choosing between them.
Till this day that exterior in the e class is still the best in the world
Both are great, thanks god we are living in this time. Taste is relative, no need to say this is better or that is better. A big thanks to Merc and BMW for these masterpieces
In the process of swapping my Merc out for the BMW 5 series. oddly enough, I like the way the BMW handles much better than the Merc. I prefer more plurality/duality (luxury and comfort). There are days when I like to drive with a purpose and days where leisure is preferred. From having owed a Merc, it makes me feel older (I'm 30). As I actually get older, I appreciate understated luxury a bit more. The Merc is definitely a softer, more luxurious ride... In the end, it really comes down to your car suiting your personality. A year over year cost to own comparison would probably edge one over the other... which my gut tells me Merc wins there. But from what I've heard and seen, it seems BMW has made big improvements and more competitive on that front as well.
Bmw is right choice
Bmw Engine and body mercedes interior audi led thechnology and quattro drivetrain vw fuel economy =The best car in the world
iMixi 765 Toyota Prius fuel economy😂😂
BMW tech and performance Mercedes luxury Audi drivetrain Hybrid fuel economy = Perfect car
iMixi 765 nah. BMW infotainment system Porsche Body and engine Audi led, Quattro and virtual cockpit Mercedes-Benz Luxury Prius Fuel economy =best car in the world
-BMW chassis -Mazda 6 or Volvo S60 exterior styling -BMW or Mercedes naturally aspirated inline 6 w/electric supercharger -Mercedes interior -Volvo or Mazda 6 seats -Toyota/Honda reliability Perfect car
I like the merc for design but BMW for tech, they always keep up to date like the 7 series with the remote parking function on the key, touchpad mouse control, all the new tech.
Mate, you are seriously one of the best car reviewer's around. When will you do a review on the Kia Stinger?
I probably can't choose between them, so it all falls down to its reliability. Which one of them has the least issue will be the one I'm looking forward to.
Hey Carwow! I would like you to make modern day reviews of older cars, and judge them by today's standards! Also comparisons of Old Vs. New are currentrly making a lot of views on KZhead.
Can we see a review between the two hybrid versions of these cars? I have just ordered a 530e - hope I have made the right choice.
After watching the videos on carwow. I watch one of your videos every single day.
Carwow isn't fully unbiased as they're not just reviewing cars, they have a company based around selling cars. If they want a specific car, like the BMW, to sell better, they can do anything in their favour to make it seem better, and this is what has clearly happened in this review.
Cold as fire hot as ice clearly you are a fanboy can you just stop complaining he clearly said that both vehicles are good
I own both the cars, both are great cars in their own way. I personally feel the bmw 530i is a better car despite the sad interior but still a better car on the road.. I have more confidence with the bmw when I am travelling long distance.. It’s my personal review on it, no heart feelings.. The mercedes-benz E300 it’s a wonderful luxury car no doubt and it’s also my daily driven car. I am very much impressed with the comfort, it’s amazing!!! 👌🏻.. If you have the money go for both 😎
You're amazing at car reviews. I throughly enjoy your videos.
*sticks one hand out the window* 3!... 2!... 1!.... This guy has never street raced before, bless his heart
i love the bmw because i have one my self but the 3 seriase
Heart says : Rolls royce Brain says : BMW,Mercedes Pocket says: toyota corolla
I love your videos, but I think you need to fix the volume balance a little. It gets a little too soft/loud at times...
Great channel, best British one online right now imo, though MotorTrend still take trumps. Only letdown is the poor sound balancing, clipping distorted audio on off scene commentary and large volume disparity against live audio which is way too soft.
BMW has the best infotainment system, doesn't matter what other car you bring to the channel, BMW wins over all
In my country a fully loaded S90 with 320HP or 230HP diesel with air suspension, B&W sound system is priced as the base price of the E class and the 5 series, so its the S90 for me
Volvo S90 is very nice!
Can you please review Mercedes e63 AMG S 4Matic +
Both are fantastic!
Both cars are great for luxury, but bmw tops in sport. Both cars is what people would want. At the end it is up to you. Tell me would you pick any other car like Cadillac, or ranger over, over bmw or Mercedes, you won't unless you are a fanboy. Bmw and Mercedes have tops ratings. But not taking any sides, I would get both of these cars, but bmw has been selling better than mercades, because it has better build quality. And it is more reliable.
I love BMW but I would go for the E class because the luxury it offers cannot be compared
Car design is an interesting thing. In the last few generations, both of these manufacturers have tried more daring elements, such as 4 headlights, feline eyes, Bangle flame surfacing, sharp angles. Now both of them look more as if they are a direct derivative from their early 90s version. Old is new...and perhaps designer realised that early 90s design was timeless and they inevitably go back to that after a bunch of experimentation.
Bmw+carwow= best friend for ever... 1🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love BMW, but damn they need to make the interior a bit more luxurious, it's a 5, not a 3. I know BMWs aren't about that, and I love that. I'm not 55 years old I'd hate to have a cabin that luxurious and a ride that soft and smooth, but step it up in the interior department, cause it's not connecting as well as the E class. For those of you saying "oh the e class is a better ride, more luxurious and better interior" remember, just cause the ride is smoother and nicer, doesn't make it better. Some people hate that, and some people like a sportier interior than such a flashy one.
Shumile Swift n
Shumile Swift honestlky I like the ergonomics of the 5 series
As a BMW owner I agree. They do a good job at materials but the design just hast evolved as nicely as its competitors. Its “nice” but not luxurious or modern enough.
Shumile Swift The interior is luxurious, the design, however does not do it justice.
Shumile Swift "just cause the ride is smoother and nicer,doesn't make it better.some people hate that, and some people like a sportier interior than such a flashy one." I agree completely,but refering to E class and 5 series (cars that are ment to be pretty damn luxurious) that makes no sense.... if you want a sportier car, you won't buy 5 series or E class at all.
E-Class is for Taxi driver, BMW is for crazy driver.
BMW is taxi driver car
Little did he know that BMW would do too much styling later on.
The new Mercedes styling certainly looks best on the E class but I hate the way the side body lines converge as you go to the rear of the car. From a practical standpoint it also comprises trunk room on all current Mercs. The styling of the 5 is much sportier and wedge like, and has lots of nice creases in the sheet metal that you can only see in the flesh.
E Class for me. Faster and far more beautiful.
sure whatever you say :)
Faster doesn't always means driving ergonomics and handling. Beautiful is subjective. But both are good.
Really, they are comparing the 2l engines, which if you want fast you don't buy, plus the bmw was in comfort mode. I'd be surprised if any E series can keep up with the 540 x drive m sport for the same price bracket.
So you would race a 2L diesel in comfort? Id hit the sport and it makes a huge difference. The car has less power in comfort mode
Jo
Or just get the petrol in the BMW its a much better engine...
Shut up Meg
It shows how bad Bmw is!
That's actually untrue. All sports mode does is remap the pedal's response in a less linear way by going 80% throttle when you've only pushed it half-way. The second half of its travel hardly adds any additional performance. Combined with the higher revs of a lower gear it will feel snappier and faster, whilst it actually isn't.
I agree with the conclusion of the video
Both of them look very good. While the Mercedes interior inspires luxury and comfort the Bmw has a premium sporty rugged look. I'm wondering how does the e 400 class compare to the GLC 43 AMG in therm of driving dynamics considering it sits much lower.
They're both great vehicles with no doubt. In the end it comes to personal preference. I would go with BMW just because it's more "sporty". Besides the acceleration test they made doesn't convince me at all. I think under equal conditions, the BMW would be slightly faster. Nonetheless, Mercedes-Benz is a lovely and awesome machine. In my own personal opinion, I give the win to BMW as well.
Mercedes is better.
Patrick Fie can you just think about what this guy said without being a dumb fanboy all the time
@@f0otball41 Fuck off will ya?
The mercedes is way faster lol
Pelihuppu sporty means the handling is better. BMW’s handling are always better than Merc. Drive one or own one of these u will realize Merc handling is much more stiffer than BMW not just watching video and masturbate.
Mercedes messed the e class up. it looks almost exactly like a C class.
Soorma530 and the 5 series doesn’t look exactly like every other bmw?
Lol Merc still looked better than that 5 series
Mzwandile Harmans I think 5 series looks better.
Soorma530. That is totally fine. You are part of the 40% voted for the looks of the 5 series. Mat and I are part of the 60% voted for the looks of the E class
Mzwandile Harmans that’s fine as not everybody who watched this video voted. Comment section shows a different opinion of public.
I personally like the styling of the 5 Series better, but the Merc definitely looks more expensive. And the interior isn't even a competition. Sure the materials quality is about the same but the Merc dusts the BMW in terms of design. iDrive is infinitely better than COMAND, though. I also find it funny how everyone rags on the E Class for being a taxi. I rode in a new one this past summer in Berlin and it was by far the most comfy car I've ever been in. Die neue E Klasse.
Apart from looks, Mercedes E class we're - may b still are - reputed to be of build quality that ran for almost forever. What I am curious to know is whether the Benz engineers have sorted the air suspension issues that come up in their vehicles of yore (air suspension has been around for a while in Benz cars now)? Will the suspension components last as long as , the rest of the car is expected to?
New Audi A6 coming in 2019, things should get interesting!
somebody has to do "bloomin lovely" compilation and counter too.
What if I depended on the auto driving assistant including breaking and one time I forgot that the system is not engaged and I didn't do the breaking by my self..? So do I really need the driving assistant? I think a good Cruze control system is enough. M benz are just trying to demonstrate what they can do and what abilities they have regardless of what is really needed for a nice regular driving experience
Good test , flooring it from 40 mph ✌️👏👏👏👏
E39 the most beautiful 5 Series ever !!!!
I’ve owned both cars coming out of a Volvo S90 which was just as comfortable as the BMW M5series and MB E43 AMG. I test drove both and chose the BMW because it better because I tested it after I tested the MB so I went with my last impression. After driving the BMW for a few days I took it back and got the MB and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. The MB is just an all round better car. Much more stylish, just a good in performance, better on fuel and a sexier interior. It’s just more of a head-turning car.
This is the Mercedes new 2L diesel engine it is 1950cm3 and single turbo, no longer bi turbo. Called the Om654. The new in line 6 3L diesel with electric boost turbo with zero lag will be launched with the S Class 2018 model.

Mercedes are my heroeeeeessss!!!, absolutely I like them
What kinda of a clown answer is that
He said more positive things about the merc than the bmw yet he chose to give the win to the 5 series🤷🏼♂️. Both are great cars though!
Test the Skoda Superb L&K 2017 TDI please!
Please review BMW 6 grand turismo as well thank you
Why do so many people compare the E Class with a Taxi like it's an insult? What is important for a taxi driver? Reliabilty, comfort, economy. So in those 3 segments the E Class wins over any other car how it seems. There really isn't much left beside that, except the category sporty. But lets be real here, we are talking about low displacement diesels, that has nothing to do with it anyway.
Ibrahim Strika - I totally agree with you. E Class is a winner all the way. Even the basic model is good.
Cheap plastic
can you guys pls do a comparison review on new Quattroporte vs s class.
Never seen a review, where you have ever scored down a BMW, regardless how good the other car is.
I just noticed there are quite a lot of videos were shot in the rain, or in the mist, or in the drizzle. Just, always seems a grimy, grey, and wet sky.
