: I have a 1999 5 series and am considering purchasing a 2000 Mercedes E320 to park along side of it. Anyone have late models of both? If so, can you comment on the exterior paint quality of both as well as the fit and finish? I am very impressed with the finish on my BMW and would hope that the Mercedes would be just as good. The "wood" interior trim in the Mercedes seems cheap looking compared to my BMW. : The BMW is more a drivers car while the Mercedes is more Caddy-"like". I have both the 98 540i-speed and a 2000 CLK430. The CLK has the looks but it is boring. : Any comments would be appreciated.
