I hate to say it, but the new 5 looks like an upsized 3 series. I'd still take it over the E-Class (which looks like a Lexus GS to me), but the last gen 5 series was so different, so interesting. We'll see when the new 5 has a real bodykit on it... bring on the new M5!

+1. The 5-er doesn't look bad up front but I think that the E-class will age better. That being said, MB clearly missed the mark with the Hyundai-esque tail lights and bland interior.

Naw, sorry I am Benz guy, yeah the interior is bland as always, but the outside is more distinct than the 5. All Bimmers look the same to me, you always have to look close to see if it is a 3, 5 or 7.
Never liked the Bimmers gauges, steering wheel and shifter.
I'll take the E please.
