Every generation of BMW”s 5 Series is equipped with latest toys and technologies which is understandable. However, whenever BMW has a new 5 Series, Mercedes is also there with an E-Class to start the battle.
Independent put a brand new BMW 530d against Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Both cars need 5 seconds to go from 0-60 mph and combined mpg figures are close as well. Mercedes is achieving this with the help of its nine-speed transmission, while BMW comes with an eight-speed transmission.Both of the cars are packed with an insane amount of cutting-edge technology. For instance, BMW knows when corners are coming up and prepares itself for them.
E-Class, on the other hand, slows the car down for you when it sees a speed limit sign coming up. Mercedes-Benz E-Class comes with a 3.0-liter turbocharged diesel engine that outputs 258 horsepower and 457 pound-feet of torque. On the inside, the E-Class comes with heated leather seats, a full-length panoramic sunroof, two 12.3-inch digital displays that dominate the dash, plenty of media controls, 13-speaker Burmester audio system, and more. Pricing starts at £48,020.
