Midsize sedans are slowly getting pushed to the roadside in favor of their smaller sedan and larger SUV counterparts, but the one sedan that is still prominent near Gilbert, AZ, is the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. So, we are going to take a look at the 2020 E-Class and the 2020 BMW 530i to see where these two popular sedans differ, and where they are quite similar. Let’s check it out!

To begin, we are going to look at the power these models offer. The E 350 offers a bit more power than the 530i. It has a 2.0-Liter Inline-4 turbo engine that pumps out 255 horsepower and 273 lb.-ft. of torque.
