Good Morning all
Newbie here looking at a car change! I currently own an E61 530D SE and it has for me, been the very best car I have ever owned. She is at 54k Miles now but I have been looking at a change to an E-Class Estate 2010-2012 model. Reason to look past my current charge, is that the E-Class has the best boot out there (I have 2 rather large Labradors as Gundogs).
My 5 series handles like a dream, and is very economical returning 40mpg and better on a run. Only reason to think about a change is for more boot space!
I have seen a number of E-class's and they all fit the bill, although I haven't driven one yet. I have read of hesitation from the Auto Box on the Merc and I must admit, that this puts me off. My BMW is instantaneous and the power delivery through the Auto Box equally impressive.
Has anybody suffered a similar comparison, and how does the E-Class V6 Drive?
Many Thanks for your observations!
