WoW, only 3 points difference in comfort between 5er and E-class. Shows that 5er is not an uncomfortable car.

and 530i and E350 both with 272hp, very close in acceleration, 530i faster at higher speeds.

Re: AutoZeitung: Audi A6 Avant 3.2 FSI vs BMW 530i touring vs MB E 350 T

BMW looses in trunk space and versatility as usual. Well it wouldn't fit the BMW image to make huge trunks, I guess. They even call the Touring models "lifestyle-estates". It would have been interesting if they tested the sedan versions. Maybe that comes later. Seems like Audi really needs the 3.2 Valvelift engine ASAP...
