The sedans quickly evolved into the 2002 and “Bavaria” range of cars, establishing the foundations for today’s 3 and 5 series products.

E3 "Bavarias" (big sedans) replaced the 502/2600/3200 "Baroque Angels, and were followed by the 7 series. Granted, the E3 platform was all "New Class" technology but in a bigger Mercedes challenging size.

The 5 series, entering production in 1972, was the direct evolution from the "New Class" small/midsize 4 door sedans.
