I rather like what BMW 5 Series project manager, Wolfgang Hacker, had to say: "If you close your eyes, first you will think it is a 3 Series to drive but on the highway it will feel like a 7 Series... That's what we wanted to achieve with the new model." Looking forward to a test drive, although it's a shame that they've made it bigger as the Touring will follow suit and end up being too big to handle really well

My friend just picked up e class. When he pulled up i really thought it was c class. Not to mention that he is tired of it already.... he was telling me how it does not drive like his F10. Front end looks aggressive on e class but rear end just doesn't work at all. |

There is just no comparison the new 5 makes the E-class look upright/frumpy and dull whilst the 5 looks crisp/sporty/low and wide.
On the inside, the chintzy, column shift equipped Merc is trying too hard, nothing matches and your eye is constantly drawn to over-designed elements that don't sit comfortably with the flow of the cabin. (silly sized air vents as an example) The glass panel looks like someone forgot to design an instrument binnacle so threw that on instead. The BMW looks fresh and clean, whilst embracing the move towards digital displays it does it in keeping with what a driver focused interior should look like, sporty and functional. Lots of surface shaping and different materials keep the whole thing interesting as well.

5 series has cross traffic assist with only a WARNING (according to their ad on youtube) E-class has cross traffic assist with AUTOBRAKE 5 series has remote control parking, but only forwards and backwards E-class has remote control PARALLEL parking BMW Autopilot is only 15 seconds (if the time is the same as in 7 series) In Mercedes E-class, the autopilot can drive for 60 SECONDS And those are not even the only examples. It really seems like the 5 series brings nothing new to the table at all. Remote view and gesture control? Who gives a shit. Mercedes E-class has true innovations like PRE-SAFE SOUND and PRE-SAFE IMPULSE (i know they are pretty minor, but still innovations) My next car could be the G30, but i'm very disappointed. The interior looks like the current 3-series. It's horrible. From the outside it looks like a facelift, but still ok. The key is ridiculously huge. But with the E-class, you can open the doors and start the engine with your Smartphone. And you remote park with your phone as well. No need for a key the size of child's fist. Please give some examples where the 5 series delivers better technology? Last edited by El_Ucca; 10-14-2016 at 02:42 PM.. |
