Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will feel a little more squished in the BMW 330 than in the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, due to the BMW 330's smaller rear head- and legroom. Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, the BMW 330 may be a little roomier and more comfortable for the driver and front seat passengers.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the BMW 330 as you will with the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, as they get the same number of miles per tank of gas.

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). Based on MSRP, the BMW 330 is clearly a better financial choice over the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.

Dimensions
Since the BMW 330 is much slimmer than the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. The BMW 330 is slightly shorter than the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, which may make it easier to park.

Handling
The BMW 330 has about the same turning radius as the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, allowing equal maneuverability in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of horsepower, it's basically a tie between the BMW 330 and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the engine of the BMW 330 transmits a bit more power to the wheels than the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the BMW 330 and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
