Comfort

Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the BMW i5, drivers may find the Mercedes-Benz C-Class a little roomier and somewhat more comfortable.
Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The BMW i5 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, which has a much lower MSRP.
Dimensions

If you go with the BMW i5, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.
Handling
The BMW i5 has a larger turning radius than the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.
Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the BMW i5 has a much more powerful engine than the Mercedes-Benz C-Class. However, something you should consider is that higher horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.
Powertrain
The BMW i5 has much less torque than the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.
Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the BMW i5 and the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.
