2. the transmission....AWFUL! so much lag in gear shifts, horrible compared to the lovely 8speed in the f10

3. yes, i think the e-class looks slightly nicer - strangely, it felt like driving a smaller car given its long wheelbase and overall size - the 5er in comparison feels like your aiming a barge down a road hitting the go pedal!

entirely personal choice, id suggest test driving!
Interesting was that the all new E Class (2016 model) or the outgoing one?
