Ever since they introduced the EQ lineup, Mercedes started making their cars a bit too bubbly for my taste. (The worst example I can think of is the rear end of the GLS SUV)

    In terms of proportions the Mercedes looks much more refined and aesthetically pleasing with its short overhangs. The BMW has become just too long without offering more interior space than the Mercedes.
    The BMW's shape looks awkward because of the large overhangs in front. Interior wise I prefer the BMW, the huge glass surfaces on the Mercedes's dashbord are a bit too much for me.

    Mercedes is the all rounder better looking. Interior and exterior wise. The new BMW's 5 series is way too stiff and looks more like a design from Volkswagen than a design from BMW.

    As a car guy since I was two years old, it's so sad to see driving machines (even "ultimate" driving machines) morphing into smartphones. From a design standpoint, the BMW isn't as bad as it could have been. I do think the headlights' shape and angle makes them looks a bit Asian. Really wish they would stop with the lighted grille thing. It's garish and horrible.

      @@Chansupa Um, I was definitely referring to Asian cars, not Asian humans. There are absolutely differences in automotive design language across geographies. My only point was that this design is decidedly un-German.

    I’ve owned an E class in the past and own a 5 series now. Both are great cars. I like the BMW exterior a little better here, but also agree with your specific comments about potential improvements. I think the Mercedes exterior is too soft for me. Also, I can’t stand the black plastic outline around the front grill. Finally, the rear exhaust is completely fake! That’s awful. On the interior, I find that Mercedes is using more and more cheap plastic while the materials in the BMW are getting better and better. Next year, I will be in the market to buy one of these cars. I’m leaning toward the BMW, but need to drive and see them up close.

    The E class hands down is the most attractive of the two. It pains me to say that because I'm a bmw fan. I had a 2000 5 series E39 with the sports package and it was stunning! Now this car looks like a Honda Accord or Camry. Just cover the kidney grill and tell me what you think. The E class on the other hand looks way better than the outgoing model. This new E class looks more like a S class and the old E class looked more like a C class. Bimmer get it together. One great looking vehicle (X7) in your line up? Smh

    BMW as well for me but like you mentioned, neither of them pull my heart strings. I understand you're focused on the US market but I'd love for you to review other European brands as well. You have so many from the Stellantis group and then there's a new Chinese brand every other week. There are so many to choose from and it 'd be great to get your perspective on all these new releases.

      I`m on the fence. I think the I5 M 60 is a lot of bang for the money. Almost M5 power for the price of a well equipped 540. But I also think the new 760 is a total gangster car (if done right). Can`t make up my mind. And then there`s the new M5 wagon. Jesus, choices, choices.

    Compared these 2 models for weeks and decided to go with the 5 series... i opted for the I6 version. After sitting in both cars, the BMW's interior surpasses the E class. Exterior wise, the E class is a little "prettier " but you get more in the BMW for about 10k less. I've had 2 Jaguars, 1 Infiniti, 2 A7's and the 5 series is my favorite by far (Audi comes in at a very close 2nd)

    I’ll pick the BMW. I’ve driven the Mercedes, but the driving characteristics of the bmw are just tighter, and with a simple switch, you can get the soft riding dampers activated.
    It’s true, some elements like the glass in the bmw aren’t what I would like, and some elements in the Mercedes are better looking. So, it’s kind of a trade of between the two

    I agree with you regarding the 5 series front end black plastics; it looks like LEGO. BMW added the black side skids so the car does not look too high due to the I5 batteries.
    Also, 5 series loses exhaust tips so the ICE looks exactly like EV.

    • @kingakim11
      @kingakim11 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      keen eye, I thought I was the only one that noticed this. I currently own a 17 IS200t and I kinda feel the same. I know everyone says the E class looks neater and I don't disagree, but I still somehow prefer the 5 as all around package. It seems like the perfect upgrade to my IS: just a couple hundred pounds heavier, much roomier, faster, handles and brakes better, decent AWD system (compared to Lexus), more fuel efficient, just maybe less reliable. And the design has some aggression to it, maybe not as much as the IS, but still decent.

    Just saw the new E class LIVE and sat in it,looked around... also seen the 5 series. These two are my favorite brands. But between these models I would choose the E class all day ,everyday. Looks amazing,feels fantastic. You just want one:)
    Mini S class. Can't wait until the AMG comes along.
    5 series looks a bit strange and confused. Not in a Bangle sort of way but still.
    Like the front though. But really no match for the E class especially with the AMG package.

    Amazing that someone who purports to have design sense can be so off, at least from the perspective of the viewers. Viewers clearly prefer the elegant sophistication of the new E-class when compared to the transformer, black-clad crossover look of the 5 series.

  • @fenrirslip
    @fenrirslip 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

    If I were to search for a car in this segment, I would probably go with the Audi A6/A7 in terms of the overall design. Audi simply has a more elegant design, while also having aggressive graphics where it makes sense. I also prefer the interiors within Audis since they don't have these massive screens, unlike Mercedes Benz where I think the screens are overly excessive.
