Comfort
The BMW i5 offers rear passengers about the same space to stretch out as the Mercedes-Benz E-Class with comparable rear head- and legroom in both vehicles.
Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, the BMW i5 may be a little roomier and more comfortable for the driver and front seat passengers.
Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The BMW i5 is somewhat more expensive than the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
Dimensions
The BMW i5 is a little wider than the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze.
For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the BMW i5, which is slightly longer than the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
Handling
The BMW i5 has a larger turning radius than the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.
Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the BMW i5 has a much more powerful engine than the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. However, something you should consider is that higher horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.
Powertrain
The BMW i5 has much less torque than the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.
Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the BMW i5 and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
