CAR UK: BMW 530D X Drive VS Mercedes E350D. BMW builds a better Benz!

From CAR UK January 17. The new 5 Series is again the benchmark of the Executive Sedans. But the author points out issues such as derivative designs and over-use of technology VS safety for both cars... Enjoy the read!

That Merc interior is horrible IMO. That dash shelf looks ridiculous.

Impressive weight difference of more than 100 kg, BMW being an x - drive!
So with RWD only, or x-drive vs 4Matic we'll see an 150 kg advantage. Great achievement!

AMG GTR 4th at Nurburgring.

Fastest BMW came at 32nd on the list and M cars with fake engine sound coming from HK surround sound system these days is a real joke man.

Mercedes is in trouble against bmw vis a vis the 5 series.

What's interesting is the role reversal we have seen over the last two generations. Mercedes is aiming at enthusiasts with their other segments and bmw is aiming away. It's interesting to see if they hit their targets.

But back to 5 series vs e class, if mercedes pushes autonomous tech they can come out on top, otherwise the 5 series will leave them head scratching.
