+1

But this is also true for most configurations available on current 3 series as well, so might as well go one up in luxury.
Fit and finish - a lot better in 5 series, cabin and road noise insulation is far superior, and not just "everyone and their neighbor" has one.
Also, friend of mine, previous E90 owner and currently in 335 claims 5 has by far more comfortable seats (I don't have enough long term experience, but do trust his judgement).

They are but the weight is not the same.
