    If you are going to compare cars head to head, they need to be comparably optioned. Picking the BMW with the 6 cylinder at a given price point over the 4 cylinder means that it is going to be thin on options, feeling less luxurious. Then you have the 4 cylinder Mercedes, which is going to feel leisurely compared to the 5'er, especially when the Merc has the optional air suspension. No one is going to cross shop these two as spec'd. If they had their budget limited to the $65k these cars are, they would either compare lightly optioned E400's and 540i's or solidly optioned 530i's and E300's. A lot of the differences you note between the cars is due to optioning them differently, not inherent differences between the cars. Having driven and played with the tech in both cars, they both are nearly equal, with their sense of style being the most defining difference, so picking one or the other becomes an exercise in taste rather than logic.

    You have an E350 compared to a 540i. The E350 is equivalent to the 530i. You should have done an E450 to have a fair comparison to that 540i. I have the E Class. True luxury vehicle in my opinion.

      Older mercedes are reliable. I heard bmw is more electrical. And they have electrical problems. Electrical goes out ur car is generally toast especially if it's electric heavy. Mercedes is also electric heavy but more so accessories. More mechanical=more reliable. Idk. Ive never owned a bmw but i got friends who do they say small things break or go out electronically. Maybe easy if ur a daily electrician or know about stuff like that. Some people can hack their tesla and never need to know mechanical stuff.
