Irvine BMW Gets Nod On 2011 BMW 535i Over 2010 Mercedes-Benz E350

Irvine, Calif. – Irvine BMW is proud to announce that when Motor Trend took the time to compare the 2011 BMW 535i to the 2010 Mercedes-Benz E350, the 535i was pronounced the clear winner.

“Climb into the 535i, and it’s hard to believe the two cars weigh the same,” the article said. “There’s a bit less heft to the controls, and g-forces in any direction seem to build with less resistance and less effort. Combining Active Steering with the Sport Package (Driving Dynamics Control, Active Roll Stabilization, and adaptive damping-figure $4500 together) gives the car incredibly sharp responses that make it feel light and nimble, especially in the Sport + setting, which eliminates virtually all body roll. … In the ride/handling category, the nod has to go the BMW.”

Motor Trend went on to point out that in terms of value, some of the BMW’s valuable chassis aids are not available from Mercedes at all, and that in terms of visual aesthetics the BMW 535i’s light-pipe tricks that decorate the front and rear of the BMW are “pretty cool when compared with the increasingly familiar thousand-points-of-light LED setups on the Benz.”

“We expect you’re going to prefer the lighter-feeling, livelier-driving BMW, so that one gets the nod,” the magazine asserts.
