Bottomline The 2008 BMW 5-Series Sports Wagon is a great alternative to an SUV for those who prefer to drive enthusiastically. The 2009 Mercedes-Benz E-Class family can be the right fit for a wide range of luxury buyers—even those who want the very frugal or the very fast.

    BMW RULES ALL THE WAY!!!
    BMW has a far more superior ENGINE and an inimitable CHASSIS. What can the pathetic mercedes put before BMW. That's why BMW is the LEADER in the premium segment.
