I'm sure just about everyone on this forum will say Mercedes. But then, if you posted the same pics and question in the BMW 5 forum, I'm quite sure the answers would favor the BMW.

Like em both but I'm partial to the C450 look. Both are great looking cars though.

Would be curious to see the interiors of each, feel like the C450 would rise far above there.

A 5 series bimmer and E Class should be the comparison.

True, but the E350 or E400 doesn't come with packages that compare to the 535i, like night packaging and upgraded wheels. I feel like in terms of design, they're a closer match

Hmm... I kinda think it is. No snow, no salt, mostly new and pothole-free roads.

I agree that you will, most likely, see a partisan reply.

If I put everything to one side, I would probably say:
Front end - Beemer
Back end - Merc
Interior - Merc
Drive - Beemer

Question, "would I part with my C class for a BMW?" - overall, probably not . I love this car (warts and all).

Uh, no, pretty sure that's universal. Bimmers are for their cars, but BMW motorcycle fanatics ride Beemers.

Not in the UK. We don't use bimmer at all. Beemer only!

So uh no, it's not universal.

Anyways… Bimmer/Beemer - Tomato/Tomayto, pavement/sidewalk - who cares?

Back to the OPs question.

Never known a forum so easily distracted!

Apples to oranges, man.

5 series compares to the E class, not the C. I would compare the 3 series to the C class.

Having driven both cars (F10 and W205), I'd take the bimmer any day of the week. But if you were to pit F10 to the W212, I'd have some hesitation...will have to seriously think about it, as both are really great cars, with pro's and con's.

I'm a Benz fanatic but comparing the C class to a 5 series just ain't right. The W205 is nice but it ain't a competitor to the 5. An E550 would do the trick

Also, the 5 series has properly matched black trim, wheels and grill - that C is a bit half-done in that dept.

Driver of C450 over 535??? Have you driven a 535? It's a boat that handles like an old man. C450 100%.

I am a BMW owner, and fan. Having said that, from looks alone, I'd choose C450. I am not too big on the 5 series sedan looks. I see many folks stating that this isn't a good comparison since its a C vs 5er. Not certain, but, this is on a parking lot....at random. It isnt as if OP borrowed the two cars for a comparison. And who says one cant compare cars from diff classes. It doesnt always have to be apples to apples. Thats what makes this compo so great!
