This is going to sound strange but the E feels more raw ... The engine is louder, there is less insulation and less luxury to it. A surprise for a lot of people here is the steering in the Benz has a really good feel to it.

With that said the 5 is more of a drivers car in regards to the overall feel ... It is much faster, the suspension is amazing and the interior is more luxurious.

I should mention my E was a 2011 and in 2012 they increased the horsepower so it might be just as fast as the 535.

How about the interior color? Any pics?
No other pics yet but it is the oyster/black interior with the m sport pkg, dynamic damper control, cold weather package, premium pkg, tech pkg. driver assist pkg, multi contour seats,and some other things ... Msrp was a drop over 70k ...

Pretty crazy but what I find nuts is this car has 5 camera's

I am really happy with it, my big decision was to go for the 335ix, 535ix or 550ix. It was a tough choice but after driving all 3 I decided to go with the 535.
I needed something the same size as the E as my kids are getting bigger (and so are their friends).
