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.
I drive mostly in the city, slowly from red traffic light to the next traffic light or from traffic jam to traffic jam. Then I want to have it so comfortable as possible. Also the passengers want this.
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.
I had both bmw wins it hands down due to the drive and how precise the steering wheels is plus I got WiFi and wireless charging oh and less flashing lights everywhere on the dash board kinda annoying with all Mercedes
I went with the 18 e class over the bmw. BMW is so dated with the things they are doing. You drive one you drive them all. The Mercedes is literally the best driving experience. Smooth yet aggressive when need be. Burmester systems sound beyond great! Go team Merc!!!!
Benz wins in terms of styling because that BMW interior feels so outdated, not to take away from the craftsmanship because it's simple and understated....but it does feel old
Great work you are doing really. Keep up the good work. Just some tips I shoot some videos but not for cars but If you are getting into this industry you should watch alot of references and the best one is Top Gear UK great shots you will learn alot from them (framing, composition, timing and a couple of good ways of introduction)
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.
Mercedes seems to have bigger space in back and front. I got friends who are 200lbs+ at 6 foot+ and barely fit in mercedes. I got a e350. They prolly wont fit in the bmw. Like barely fit in my car... barely. Im the shortest guy :/
BMW is a car specially made for the young Entrepreneurs who can enjoy the experience of driving as well as made themselves relax in the back seat when needed. Whereas Mercedes is meant for a rich old person who can enjoy relaxing all day at the back seat.

Brother where is the drive experience?? In which BMW destroys Mercedes Also Mercedes uses Artico(Artificial Manmade) Leather also not real wood only veneers(knock on it you'll see its hollow), BMW uses real Nappa leather and real wood , Mercedes might look more expensive BMW is much much higher quality And during night drive BMW Headlights are just amazing it's like turning on the Sun , mercedes has a range of only 120 meters. I think you are a bit too biased towards Mercedes
I appreciate the feedback the reason for not driving the BMW or the benz is simple since I'm just starting out my channel my access to these cars is very limited not everyone allows me to drive the cars. I try to make the best content with what I'm provided with. As I gain more of a following the content will only get better because as I become more relevant I will be able to drive more vehicles allowing for better content. I will take your feedback into consideration when making future content👌🏻
@@SteakSchmidt BMW has a torque converter and gearbox is way faster and responsive merc. Artico is green ?? Really ?? Then why do they use hide from 4 cattles for maybach, why not use artico in that. It's just a way to fool consumers 80% of consumers dont even know its artico. Because they never highlight it
lol not amg tho :))) amg actually leads in its class and although BMW is sporty but they need to change their interior with the 5 series like the e class has with its new screen and display... both r nice in my opinion but Mercedes is definitely popular with us teens just like BMW is.
but dude the new 3 series from BMW looks fire... but 5 series and E class r more for older adults... the 3 series and the C class r fire.... especially the 3 series... 5 series looks old now tbh
Mercedes is a puppy compared with bmw ... on bmw everything is accurate ,Mercedes is full of glitches and so on ... is a reason for what germans stated when they build up BMW ... they said “we made BMW to compete with Mercedes class but we didn’t expect it to be better “ keep that in mind ... on top from own experience i can tell BMW is better
You should’ve got the 3liter mercedes and than compare them but anyways bmw outside is a beast but when you get inside of mercedes then it’s a different story
@@JamesSalvatore I must say. I viewed some of your more recent videos and I have actually been really enjoying them. Your videos are awesome. Great work!!

Young channel but great effort ! Keep up your good work !
Thank you I appreciate it
In conclusion I can be the driver of a bmw but the passenger of a benz
I feel that it's set up more like a mini s class
I drive mostly in the city, slowly from red traffic light to the next traffic light or from traffic jam to traffic jam. Then I want to have it so comfortable as possible. Also the passengers want this.
Then go e class for sure
James, really good review of both cars. I would choose mercedes for interior and bmw for exterior.
Glad to help thank you for the feedback👌🏻
It is not 2020 eclass or 2020 5 series.
Both are 2019 models
The Mercedes was still in production as of may 2020
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.
In the video I addressed that I understand that, I based this comparison off of MSRP these cars are only 1k in difference.
But the E class is my favorite of the two
U N I E300 is the 2 liter engine. E450 replaced the E400 3 liter engine.
cloudniner4lifex dude have you ever driven or owned a BMW?
Why in the world would you not put the e450 with the v6 twin turbo with 362 Hp?
If it were the performance variants, I’d take the e63, but for the non performance variants I’d take the 5
That's fair I agree with you on that one
M5>
The merc is a 2.0?
Why has it got a 350 badge?
BMW exterior beat Mercedes benz, but Mercedes benz interior definitely beat BMW
Yeah that’s the thing if you combined elements of both cars it’s be perfect
James Salvatore thats when Audi enters the game😂
In the last years many people complained about the noisy cheap plastic at the Mercedes interior.
Diego Shock nah Audi exteriors look terrible compared to bmw or Mercedes
@@cnxexpat1862 i just bought used 2013 e350. Lovely. No plastic. Wood+leather only. Sexy family car. Or sexy private car. Sexy.
Thanks for the video. What about noise while driving? Which car in your opinion is more quite?
Good video, infotainment is important but you need to go into detail about the available options on infotainment systems
I had both bmw wins it hands down due to the drive and how precise the steering wheels is plus I got WiFi and wireless charging oh and less flashing lights everywhere on the dash board kinda annoying with all Mercedes

Lol
Excellent video very informative. Thank you
Benz wins in terms of styling because that BMW interior feels so outdated, not to take away from the craftsmanship because it's simple and understated....but it does feel old
I agree you know what brand I favor lol
WHICH ONE IS CHEAPER TO MAINTAIN!!!????
So the Mercedes is best because I don’t need to take my hands of the wheel. Why would I need a touch screen then? Confused
Great work you are doing really. Keep up the good work. Just some tips I shoot some videos but not for cars but If you are getting into this industry you should watch alot of references and the best one is Top Gear UK great shots you will learn alot from them (framing, composition, timing and a couple of good ways of introduction)

awesome review man
1 thing about this video... don’t speak so loud when you’re outside... you mess up the mic and it sounds like you’re yelling
Great content and delivery
Thank you!
In the uk the screen in the merc is touchscreen
Interesting how they change little things between the us and the European markets
Yep
Bro the e300’s competitor would be the 530 not the 540, the competitor for the 540 would be the e400 get yr info right
This review is simple & very practical.
That's the goal keep it simple👌🏻
Beautiful review brother still deciding. I can’t decide lol 😬
It's a tough call
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.

Your would pick A6 or 5 series?
5
🖤 Mercedes-Benz 🖤
Love them both but give me that Benz
Very biased opinion. Family car vs. sports car. BMW every time.
Wow that mercedes e class i is way better looking car
Mercedes seems to have bigger space in back and front. I got friends who are 200lbs+ at 6 foot+ and barely fit in mercedes. I got a e350. They prolly wont fit in the bmw. Like barely fit in my car... barely. Im the shortest guy :/
Nice deal sleds
Two cars my favorite i like benz bmw audi brands
Trying desperately to appear unbiased towards the merc but failing miserably.
BMW is a car specially made for the young Entrepreneurs who can enjoy the experience of driving as well as made themselves relax in the back seat when needed. Whereas Mercedes is meant for a rich old person who can enjoy relaxing all day at the back seat.

More room by feet is bigger in BMW and back seet is higher for leegs more Comfort seets in back is BMW i have Them both
Benz lf course
BENZ E300D IS THE BEST CAR IN THE WORLD
Merc is love❤
What a beautiful cars whosm look
Brother where is the drive experience?? In which BMW destroys Mercedes
Also Mercedes uses Artico(Artificial Manmade) Leather also not real wood only veneers(knock on it you'll see its hollow), BMW uses real Nappa leather and real wood , Mercedes might look more expensive BMW is much much higher quality

Vikram Rajan - have you ever driven an E-Class in Sports + mode? You may be pleasantly surprised by how sporty the ride can get.
@@jibroniuk3604
Yupp for 3 months, the throttle response and the shifts might become 15-20% faster
Still nowhere near as agile as BMW
Mercedes always an old man car and Bmw for sport enthusiastic drivers
lol not amg tho :))) amg actually leads in its class and although BMW is sporty but they need to change their interior with the 5 series like the e class has with its new screen and display... both r nice in my opinion but Mercedes is definitely popular with us teens just like BMW is.

I am not old, but I am driving mostly in the city. How can I drive sporty? I want it comfortable.

FEE AH TURES
You should’ve got the 3liter mercedes and than compare them but anyways bmw outside is a beast but when you get inside of mercedes then it’s a different story
I compared it based off of msrp
Not engine options
Inline 6 rules!
just bit of advice.. when your talking, you should point the camera to the car interior. We want to see the car, not you're facial features. ;)
That was an old vid new ones are very different
@@JamesSalvatore I must say. I viewed some of your more recent videos and I have actually been really enjoying them. Your videos are awesome.
Great work!!
@@danjoe9588 thank you
Mercedes the best or nothing
Mercedes all the way. I’ve been my decision.
I don't think bmw has android auto?!🤔
BMW really needs to take more pride in there interiors like Benz and Audi do nice exterior thou
Yeah I agree I'm more of a Benz person myself
See if u could do a review on the 2020 Audi A6 also
Definitely doable I recently just found a Audi dealer that will be working with me👌🏻
James Salvatore that’s great looking forward to seeing more videos
MB cannot do a good job on the outside.
Benz💯
I wish i was rich enough to compare a bmw and a mercedes. Idk what bmw is most reliable. Id like a easy diy 5 series. Something 3.5L and sedan.
Ok
IF you ask your viewers to like and subscribe in the beginning of the video, its because you dont trust your own content....
Thats not why at all
People forget to so if you remind them it helps.
I remind people both in the beginning and in the end
Bmw is the donkey while mercedes is the horse
Mercedes anyday out of the week, better inside and out
Wrong cars compared. Everything you say therefore is nonesense
