Most reviews agree: The G30 5-Series is the better car. And the 2 liter 4cyl turbo in the 530i is a far superior mill than the four banger found in the E300.
I test drove an E300 about two months ago. I was thoroughly unimpressed. The handling is ok, but just ok. Acceleration is adequate, but not better. Interior finish ok. Electronics way worse than BMW. My wife, who is a current MB driver, agreed. It is total meh.
