Video: BMW 5-Series v Mercedes-Benz E-Class - Can the 530d beat the E350d?

This isn't your average BMW 5 Series review. We've taken a brand new BMW 530d and decided to pitch it against its toughest rival in the executive car class - the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.

Which is the best to drive? Which has the best infotainment and connectivity? Which is the most comfortable?

And, less objectively, which, er, does the best drifts when you turn off the stability control?

Matt Prior and Mauro Calo are your judges, as we test the two best executive cars head-to-head.
