To me the door handles on new cars is a perfect analogy for how the entire vehicle is now compared to older cars. The old pull style version was ergonomically perfect but now we have these stupid flush handles. Then you go inside and knobs are replaced but screens. I'm not against progress but we seem to be going away from good design.

[Khalil.]

84k for a 520d 😮 and 104k for a e220d 😮😮 I never thought such small engines would be that expensive 😅😅

[samueld]

The previous 5 series looked so good this new one is quite ugly. It's E Class exclusice Line with the standing star on the bonnet for me. Looks great.

[Bagook]

For me it's 100% the E class especially from the front and the side view ❤

[bluegrassbabe]

I am a BMW 5 series owner, and I can say that I like the exterior of both. When it comes to the interior it is Mercedes hands down the winner. BMW has had the better-quality interior but this new one not only is cheaper but looks cheaper. The rear cup holders looks like they came from a kia, in fact the BMW interior looks KIA-ish. Rough not padded lower doors, no felt lined pockets to dampen noise and to keep items from sliding around as well as no rear seat pockets at all. BMW has taken the 5 in a direction that disagrees with me. I am surprised to say I'd buy the E over the 5.

[EmperialHails]

Previous versions of both were excellent.

[giotto]

I think the E-class wins for me both internally and externally. The screen on the 5-series looks like a real last minute add-on; it's too angular at the corners and to me, appears quite dated. But that was a great review and comparison, thanks very much. PS loved the accidental star-burst off the Merc badge at 15:22mins! ;)

[dekoeneridder]

Always waiting for Thomas saying "4K, full screen, full length let's go!". I love this channel!❤

[micko]

Prices are absolutely shockingly outrageous! 15 years ago they were around 45.000 eur.
And I was even more stunned by the 20.000 eur difference for the tested models.

[japraksarma]

E class all the way.😊

5 series - It has the vertical line, where the car looks high and it "lacks width". Screen unit looks like an aftermarket part. Where in Mercedes screen units are implemented in the console. Just beautifully done.

[ucsdvc]

This is the comparison I’ve been waiting for! Thank you!

[alexcimpoi]

I have seen both of them on public roads and was shocked by each of them in their own ways. Mercedes looks sleeker and more traditional and classy than ever before, a marvel to rest your eyes upon. Not to mention the beautifully crafted interior that resemble quality on any surface you are in contact with. With the BMW is a totally opposite story, I was shocked of the boxy look and departure from the classic timeless design that made the 5 series so special. The previous generation looks better in every aspect from the exterior to the high quality ergonomic interior. The sales will probably tell the truth.

[elmanuel]

BMW 84k and Benz 104k should have been told in the beginning as it's all about bang for the buck. Great Review!

[siddharthkothari]

E class looks fantastic. Huge upgrade from the current generation.

[usfedvet]

MB wins this one, hands down. What a great looking car. Let’s just keep the real engine, not a series of motors and batteries. I’m astounded as to the price points for both, however. Thomas, you have a great channel! Happy Thanksgiving to you from the USA!

[_sr]

Definitely mercedes made the better car. I like the approach they use different platforms for electric and ice cars..
Bmw has that extra dimensions and smaller trunk etc just because of the common platform.

E looks way better IMO (5 has grown on me though). I’ve test driven a couple of recent Mercedes models and the all capacitive buttons for basic controls was just way too annoying for me. Such a bummer they can’t do a physical control for something as simple as volume. Would like to see you do a review on the 540i when it’s available! Great breakdown as always.

[investigativeali]

BMW looks like a "lego or minecraft car" next to the magnificent Mercedes!
Thank you for your efforts👍.
