Tire/wheel sizes are different. For pure all weather performance my guess is the narrower 16" tires on the E320 would be marginally better in snow, rain, ice. For sure you will have a broader selection of tires and at lower cost.

I have and e430 4matic.. My buddy has and e320 4matic.. I have driven both cars in bad weather and the e320 is better.. the ride in the e320 is smoother but I think that has a lot to do with the 16" rims and wider side walls on the tires.. I would probably take a 320 over my 430 if i had the choice today...
