BMW is a driver's car. If u are into handling etc, then BMW is the way to go. From the price u quoted, I gather u are going for a used one. In that regard, the only advantage of the E class is that it has not been replaced by a newer E class as is the case for the 5 series.
Another factor is your age. From what I have seen, a driver in a 5 series can carry it if looks like he is in his early 30s all thru to old age. Not the case for the E class though. If u look young, they will say "lim peh's chia". Juz my thots. :laughlik:

the merc E240 and bmw 520i are both reasonably good cars. i dont think you would be able to differentiate the drivability aspect much unless youre inherently looking out for the 'feel' of the car on corners etc.
as for the saab, looking at your price quote, i assume youre referring to the 2.0 litre T version. if youre after something with reasonable low end torque, then the saab is pretty good.
if its a nice comfortable car with reasonable acceleration and nice handling, then i would recommend the merc E240 or bmw 520i.
and personally out of these 2, i'd pick the E240.
just my opinion.

Raffles said:For power, u might want to add S60T5 or the S60R for consideration
in this case, the S60T5 is probably better.
wanted to get the S60R before i got the bmw.
test drove the R, liked the power, didnt like the feel and the handling,
and totally hated the huge 13m turning radius due to AWD.
but have to say the S60's interior is pretty plush and spacious.
but the T5 seems more refined to drive,
more than enough power when you need it too.

The Saab 95 Aero is an awesome car .... Never liked the Volvo Turbos ... They dont seem to be as responsive as the Saabs. But then again .. Saab pioneered turbocharging in cars so its natural they make the best turbos around. But i'll take the beemer for sheer driving pleasure! Drive dynamics are unparalleled ....
