Comfort
The BMW 530 offers rear passengers about the same space to stretch out as the Mercedes-Benz C-Class with comparable rear head- and legroom in both vehicles.
Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the BMW 530, drivers may find the Mercedes-Benz C-Class a little roomier and somewhat more comfortable.
Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the BMW 530 as you will with the Mercedes-Benz C-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). The BMW 530 is somewhat more expensive than the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.
Dimensions
The BMW 530 is a little narrower than the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, so you'll have an easier time getting in and out of the car in a tight parking spot.
For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the BMW 530, which is slightly longer than the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.
Handling
The BMW 530 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
In terms of horsepower, it's basically a tie between the BMW 530 and the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.
Powertrain
With its lower torque, the BMW 530 doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.
Utility
