Which would you get, reasons? Would it be a 5 series or E class? V6? Just trying to figure out whats the difference. 06 and up.

 

I'd get the 2008 535i. Twin-Turbo V6. Shits on any e-class (except amg of course, that's why there's an m5)

 

the only E class I've driven was the early w211 e320, which was underpowered, but it was extremely soft, and I didn't it find it very much fun at all.

I voted for the 5 series, as it should be more fun to drive, but I still think the 5 series is horribly ugly.

 

5series

 

5-series. I think the E-Class is long overdue for an overhaul isn't it?

Plus Mercedes, yeah, I dunno. When you get into that class of car the Merc (except the AMGs) are for dentists and proctologists.

 

i like the looks of the e class better handling and all is a different story

 

5-Series hands down.

I don't know. The e-class is just kind of to me.

It's just personal though.

 

I voted for the Benz. I've always thought as far as looks(and it's subjective i know) The Benz E class is one of the best looking sedans on the road. it's classic but it "ages well"
I've always had a soft spot in my heart for a E class.

 

5-Series (specifically the 535i)

E Class is a bit outdated now, the new one should be much closer competition.




BMW doesn't make a V6

 

Coming from an E-class owner, go with the 5!

 

Look at the manufacturer ratings. Mercedes has been very low on the reliability factor for years.

BMW outperforms it too. If going german I would only get BMW....forget Mercedes/VW/Audi IMO.

Nothing mercedes puts out wows me...BMW does. I don't even like the SLR Mclaren

 

5 series ftw. But then again if u want to save some more money like 10k get a 335i twinturbo or 2007 G35S. All those car go 0-60 in low 5 secs. E class meh mercedes makes ugly slow cars except amg.

 

 

looks = E

Driving = 5

 

like e63 moar

 

Yeah BMW's twin-turbo V6 is almost as impressive as hondas V4...

 

That's changed. Look at JD Power for 2008. Mercedes is back up at the top-10 again IIRC.

 

I like the Mercedes better personally. Then again, I've never driven a BMW, nor have I been in one in many years.

 

i think the e-class is a great looking car.

 

I'd have to say the Merc, cause if you get the BMW you'd automatically become a king of the road prick

 

1) I would get the one I liked driving and being in best.
FWIW, the sport suspension option on the 535i is harder-riding than that option on the E350. I haven't been in either car with a "standard" suspension.
I prefer the E350 interior to that of the 535i.
The 5 has a manual transmission option while the E is auto trans only.

2) The poll is invalid without a "Whiskers" (buy a Ford Focus and save on gas and $$$) option.

 

I meant I-6. You guys don't miss anything.

And E63>M5

 

535i. twin-turbo I6. What else do you really need to say?

 

Depends on the specific model..

 

LOL u sound so retarted hondas v4 is almost as slow and ur mind. And wtf y is this the only website with slow connection it takes forever to load stuff on this page or send posts. U should fix this moderators. Btw plz don't say i have a slow pc or internet, Quad core gaming pc, + comcast 8meg.

 

 

Especially since the redesign in 2004, this car exudes class. And I'd rather be seen in that than the 06 5 series. The previous gen 5 series (540I) would be OK. Not htis new one.

 

hmmm...

 

They always say you want to drive a bimmer & ride in a benz .... so if you're into performance, then 5 series; if you prefer ride quality, then a benz ... personally I prefer a bimmer 'cuz it seems to have more soul in them .... just my cents ...

 

5 series

 

Its like jibberish and ebonics got together and had a bastard child....

 

Since E is pretty outdated, my vote goes to 5 series.

 

Get a 535i then chip it

 

I love the white E class with the (black) glass top/sun roof..... which IMHO is what started the whole trend of white colored car, black top...

 

Maybe on sedans....

NSXs had them in 1991....


oh and neither. E60 5-series is still kinda weird looking IMO, it looks too much like a mom mobile. But can't get worse than the E-class though... Audi ftw!

 

yeah, but... no body followed the NSX in doing so.... the trend recently rise BECAUSE of the E Class.... I mean... you can say the NSX was the first... fine... but the style didn't go anyway until now.

 

E class all the way. Unless you get a 550i or M5, the styling of the 5 series is a bit on the bland side. On the other hand, the standard E 350 and E500 look excellent and their interiors are of a higher caliber design .

 

You have a slow PC.

 

535i seems to be the best bet on this class.

 

Mmmmm ~380hp at the crank.

I read somewhere that the 535i and the 550i aren't really that different performance-wise, something like .2 seconds 0-60, since the twin-turbo is so underrated. Chip it and you'll have a sleeper that will eat 550i's and E550's all day errday.
