alright EVERYBODY simmer down...
the car itself DOES NOT look like a m5 but cos of the rims, it gives the impression that its faster and trying to be at par with a m5.
In case u didnt know the e-class is desperately trying to be like the 5-series, and especially like the m5. So of course any kind of upgrade to the e-class is aimed at outdoing the m5.
So i happen to think this car in particular is a m5 wannabe... so what? If u dont see the resemblance in the rims than fine... just get off my back before i :pee: on u bastards
Jeez, when did it becomes so difficult to give opinions around here

but seriuosly man...The E class is NOT trying to be like the M5.
E-class buyers are verry different from the M5 buyers.
Also, the E class is considered to be WAY more succesful than the M5 or the 5-series.
In fact, I cant believe you even said that.
The E-class is the top selling MB, and will continue to be as well.
Also, the techonology on the new E, will BLOW AWAY ANY BMW EVER MADE.
here are some features that will blow your fucking mind away:
"Also, its cool cuz both cars come with a 10 speaker system, but if you get the e2, it comes with the HARMON KARDON!! system, with 12 speakers!!, with a sub and a amp..... Dealer said it beats the s-classes bose by 100000000000000000000000000 miles...They also show a pic of the nav, it looks nice, they took out the cassette part, and added a couple more buttons on the side. Also, this standard is very cool.....behind the door handles, there is a litlle light, so you now where the handle is. Also, the outside mirrors come with a step out feature, so in the dark, you can see where you step. IM trying to thinkm of all the cool stuff while looking at the brochure............ooo yea, the e500 is 0-60 in 5.8!!!!, and the e320 is 0-60 in 7.2, which it .1 seconds slower, but this info was given to the dealers at the torrance thing, and it say it is a pre-launch info, so it is more useless, than usable info, the specs are....(i will list everything, then the #'s, hopefully it will make sense) Wheelbase, overall length, overall height, overall width, track(front), track(rear), coefficint of drag(same for both), curb wheight(e320/e500), headroom(front), legroom(front), shoulder room(front), headroom(rear), legroom(rear), shoulder room(rear), cabin cap, cargo cap. If nothing wasnt ,arked for the fron or rear, it is the same. Now the #'s for everything in order....112.4 in, 190.3, 57, 71.3, 61.4, 61.1, .27, 3635/3815, 37.4, 41.9, 56.4, 37.7, 35.6, 56.1, 97.2 cubic feet, 15.9 cubic feet. Now everything in milimeters.....2854, 4833, 1449, 1810, 1559, 1552, coefficint isnt in inches, 1649/1730, 951, 1065, 1432, 957, 903, 1424, 2752 liters, 450 liters. There are three different settings for the airmatic sus, it also comes with self-leveling, for the wheight of the car. Also, this is very very cool, for the climate control, in the e320, and e500 only with the 4-zone climate control...if there is the sun shining on the rear left or rear seat, and the a/c is on, the fan will blow more air, so it senses the heat from the sun. There are eight airbags, and they offer 10-way protection there is a first ever rollover sensor, so the airbags do something special, not really sure, and for the sensotronic brakes, if your are going very fast on the freeawy, say like 85, and you suddenly let go of the gas pedal, the disc brakes will think you might get into a crash, so they move very cose to eachother, so if you do brake, it is a lot shorter of a distance. Also, if the wipers are on, the disc brakes will dry themselves, so they wont slip while braking. For the climate control, there is a filtration system, and a humidity sensor, so the windos dont fog. There is also, a smog sensing charcoal filter. Also, the e320 and e500 a/c is very different. All of the interior pics with the long narrow screen for climate control is all the e500. The e320 will get a reg, non-screen climate control system. I'm pretty sure you guys know what i am talking about. Also, the seats are 10-way power, with 3 different memories, but the steering whell doesnt move powerly. Both are ulev cars, ultra low emission vehicle. That is about it on the info from the brochure, but the technical sheet, compares the specs between the 2003 e, and the 2002 e. Top speed on the e320 is 152, and 155 on the e500, i believe that is w/o govener. Front brake disc diameter is 12.3 on the e320, and 13 inches on the e500. The front thickness is .4 inches on the e320, and .84 on the e500. The rear diamter is 11.8 for both, and the rear thickness is .4, and .84 on the e500. fuel capacity is the same as 2002, but i doubt that, i think it will be a little different, they show 21.1 gallons. "
Those are just some minor features...visit MB's website and watch the videos...damn what a car.
0-60 in 5.8 seconds for the E500.... Can a bmw 540 do that time? Absolutely not.
Now just wait for the new E55, and say bye bye bmw.
oh and dont forget...
