The way to choose cars for Mercedes-Benz E and BMW 5-Series
As consumers naturally pay attention to the price when spending, with a budget of 500000, the BMW 5-Series and Mercedes-Benz E are naturally the first choice. After preliminary screening, the models initially determined are Mercedes-Benz E300 and BMW 530LI.
The ancients said that you can’t have both a fish and a bear’s paw, and there must be a life-and-death relationship between the two.
Family car focus 1: space
The appearance size of Mercedes-Benz E is 5078.1860.1480, wheelbase 3079.
BMW 530Li appearance size: 5106.1868.1500, wheelbase 3105
It is worth noting that this generation of 5-series has controlled the wheelbase at 3105 for better handling and driving, compared with 3108 in the previous generation. Even so, the body size and wheelbase of the 5-series are still better than those of Mercedes-Benz E300.
If the body size can not absolutely affect the driving and riding space in the car, but with a longer body wheelbase in terms of space, there should be no dispute!

Car purchase focus 2: power and control
Whether it costs 100, 000 or 500000, the most important thing to buy a car is to drive, so whether a car is good or not is not worth spending so much money to buy must be experienced!
Mercedes-Benz E300 engine power 190KW, torque 370, 100km acceleration 6.9, ready quality 1800KG
BMW 530LI engine power 185KW, torque 350km, 100km acceleration 6.9, ready quality 1775KG
From the data of the two cars, it is easy to see that the same engine Mercedes-Benz has stronger power and better torque performance, but it is better than BMW’s lightweight body and modular engine, and the vehicle mass is less 25KW than Mercedes-Benz, so the data of the two cars are the same 6.9 seconds at 100 km acceleration.
If you drive a Mercedes-Benz E on the road, you will always be a third grader than a BMW Dora.
Two types of car driving experience:
Due to the heavy body of Mercedes-Benz, the speed of the vehicle at the start is not obvious, there is a kind of flesh feeling, but as long as deeply step on the accelerator pedal power output is more obvious, linear acceleration appears to be improved.
The biggest difference between BMW’s short-distance acceleration and Mercedes-Benz is that the power performance is obvious from the moment the turbine is connected, there is a sense of continuous acceleration, and it is not as hard to accelerate as Mercedes-Benz.
The two cars are rear-drive models with load-bearing body, and the braking system is also equipped with ventilation disc type, but also equipped with main power distribution, traction control, brake assistance, body stability system, so there is not much difference in driving experience. Driving two cars on urban roads can be said to be evenly split.
Performance of two cars driving at high speed:
When the speed reaches 80-120, the performance of the Mercedes-Benz E300 is relatively average, and it has a sense of acceleration in a regular manner. due to the heavy weight of the body, it is slightly bulky when speeding up and overtaking at high speed.
Due to the short front suspension and long wheelbase design and servo electronic assist, the BMW 530LI uses double-forked arm independent suspension in the rear suspension, which makes the driver confident during the high-speed parallel and overtaking period.
The key point here is: double fork arm independent suspension, advantages: compact structure, strong anti-tilt ability, good stability, outstanding vehicle grip, more agile response to high-speed driving.
Of course, the most direct source of driving experience is the design of electronic shift lever and shift. as an old driver, if he loses his shift, he will lose a lot of fun!
