All the reviews I've read say that it's marginally better in some areas than the equivalent E-Class.
This was a shock, since traditionally Car magazine journalists are violently pro-BMW.
I think it's safe to say that people with a more balanced viewpoint would decide that an E-Class is overall a better car.
The speed sensitive steering was described as a solution for which there was no problem.............
One thing would ensure that I never buy one though (apart from being broke at the moment) the thing is so UGLY that my neighbours would ask me to keep it garaged all the time
