Re: [scans] AMS: BMW 530i vs. Merc E 350 CGI vs. Audi A6 3.2 FSI

Whilst it wouldn't be my first choice, I do believe that E-Class is the better car. After all of its problems pre-facelift, the E-Class really has withstood the years well and looks the least dated of these three... who'd have thought? Not me, that's for sure.

My associate's facelifted E320 CDI is just exceptional.

^I agree Martin,i really thought the E will be the most out-dated looking car in that segment but honestly it's looking more on time than 5er or A6

And by having no major weaknesses too. Basically a good all-rounder.

What is this CGI engine in the E350 with 292 PS?! Why isn't this offered in the US?! I'm annoyed because our E350 is stuck with an old engine....

Interesting comparo, thanks for posting.

This engine has direct injection. It is only available for the CLS and E-Class here. It is nearly brand new for the E-Class. So this could be the reason, why it isn't offered in the US.
