BMW 328 vs. Mercedes-Benz E-Class Review

As far as horsepower, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class packs quite a punch and will knock the BMW 328 down a few rungs. On the flip side, bear in mind that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Drivetrain
The BMW 328's engine is significantly smaller than the Mercedes-Benz's. Bear in mind that smaller engines can be stressed more; on the flip side, smaller engines typically get better gas mileage. Torque is the force that lets you accelerate quickly, and in this respect, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class is substantially more powerful than the BMW 328. The BMW 328 could learn a lesson or two from the Mercedes-Benz E-Class with respect to torque.
