I would go with the 5 series. BMW have been on a roll with both reliability and owner satisfaction. Consumer Reports have named BMW the best brand for the past two years. The same can not be said for MB. They are near the bottom for reliability keeping Land Rover and Jaguar company. Their owner satisfaction is also near the bottom. MB are not what they used to be, and sadly they don't seem to care.

yeah you're bang on... the bmw has the nicest interior, the build quality is way better than any mercedes can ever be and this is the only channel that says otherwise proving that they dont know what they're talking about ahahah . if you watch our european channels like carwow, autogefule and many other all say that bmw is the best in every category. the m cars beat any amg or rs from audi..the 7 series is the best luxury sedan.. the m5 cs destroys supercars on so on.. so bmw is the best

@chrislaswell5572 Ай бұрын

As a MB owner I can confidently say that while the newer MB's look really cool if you're standing back 5 or 7 feet, the fit-and-finish are very, very sub-par these days. Many MB dealership also sell BMW. So make sure you look at this before you buy. I can't speak to the new E-Class but other models (the outgoing E-Class) are really poor. The trim lines don't line up cleanly, the quality of the materials (they've gone to "metal-looking" plastic rather than SS/aluminum), the "leather" seats are atrocious, and many of the little things (clips, clamps, fittings, covers, etc.) have gone to plastic to save money. And yet, the A, B, and C annual services that you *have to* do with an authorized MB dealer have increased 20% - 40% in price. I spent ~$600 for a new valve stem last year...not new tire and wheel, not a set of valve stems...only one valve stem. Yikes!!

Its difficult because honestly theyre both genuinely sweet cars. I personally like the interior of the bmw a bit more, especially the steering wheel. But the mercedes def has a wow factor to its radically defined character and uniqueness. I also really like the fact u get more tech and the vent seats, i live in arizona. If it was between the eqe and i5, ev variants, id go i5 but here i might actually go w the e class. The exterior just generally looks really nice and the interior feels like youre in something unique still

How big was discount? In Germany bmw discount is enormous. You can order basically any BEV I model with 25-30% off. New 5 series BEV or hybrid discount is at least 20%. Bmw never gave that big discounts, but new 5 series, 7 series, XM are very hard to sale. People don't like the design in Europe. I just sat in 5 series and was disappointed by the cheap interior. Even the older A6 feels better built

I have NOT driven either, but I'm more inclined towards the Benz simply because it looks much more styled and elegant "Professional" than the BMW... the size increase in the BMW is a big disadvantage, makes it look like an old buick!

@hellkitty1014 2 ай бұрын

After having seen both in person, I just have to wonder what was BMW thinking with their current styling direction? The 5er looks so pedestrian in contrast to its predecessor and the new E-Class. Not my cup of tea, for sure. The tall, slab-sided styling removed most of the character, the overhangs are uncharacteristic of a Bimmer. The MB is leaving nothing but size to the S-Class these days. They're not playing it safe anymore.

@seansiew5629 2 ай бұрын

Well honestly I do see the 5 and 7 series in person, the 5 series made the 7 series look elegant, and the E class looks better than the S class, my mechanics have been very frustrated repairing the w223 because it’s catastrophic reliability, as most Mercedes owners want reliabilities like a Toyota owner, as a BMW guy I would take E class>5 series and 7 series>S class

@denikasmi1850 Ай бұрын

bmw is the best in every category.. the interior is built way better than mercedes or any other car in the segment... the biggest car channels here in europe all say that bmw is the best in every category and i dont get how you say that mercedes is built better, that's just not true. mercedes squeks bmw doesnt... the driving experience is unmatched and the reliability is the best from bmw and NOT from mercedes. here in europe mercedes is having a lot of problems with their engines and its unreliable as hell. even audi is doing better considering it's all volkswagen

While the Mercedes does seem to have more tech, the tech is more useful and easier to use in the BMW in the real world in everyday use, in my personal opinion. I think it is really useful that you can use your phone or a key card to operate the BMW with the BMW app. Also no points should be given for fake exhaust openings 😂 But honestly they are both great cars and these two companies have been battling for years for the top spot. Each does its own thing better than the other. I like them both.

Yes I’ve been traumatized! $1,500 every 3-6 months when something went wrong with the bmw, very expensive preventative maintenance for the Audi never had anything happen with that one. Wiped my hands clean with the vehicles and went with Honda. On my 5th Honda, trade them in every 1-2 years. Only paid registration 2-3 times out of 10 cars I’ve owned in the last 8-9 years, maybe less than.

Great video but I feel that they didn't give Bmw the correct acknowledgment in some areas, For example Bmw has various ways to control the infotainment, with buttons and nobs which makes it much easier to interact with, especially while driving. The gesture controls on Bmw is another way to control the infotainment. Cars are getting harder to deal with when everything is on a screen and they barely have buttons. so if we are going to give points for extra screens (Merc) and such we should give points to ease of use of these systems and other tech. Now to my opinion: I love E-class' Interior but the 5's exterior. Also Mercedes digital display is much more configurable than Bmw's. Its a Hard choice but just depends on what you like and your personal use. If you care about comfort over drivability get the E-class if you wanna have fun and look/feel good doing so, get BMW.
