On paper, the M-B E320 and BMW 530i are nearly identical. Most dimensions are within tenths of an inch, although the Benz is 2.4 inches taller and has 2.3 inches more rear knee room. Engine stats are very similar, too; the BMW produces 7 more horsepower (228 vs. 221), while the Mercedes twists out 11 more pound-feet of torque (232 vs. 221). Weight is the most significant difference; the Mercedes weighs nearly 200 pounds more, but there is essentially no difference in performance.
