2012 E350 MSRP
I just received the invoice on my 2012 E350 and found a $1,090 increase in the base price. My option prices didn't change with my total price, including destination, coming to $62,010.
My car was built September 22nd.

I think the '12 5-Series is a gonna be increased by a little, and now that the E350 compares with it on paper, and considering even when the 535i "beat it" on paper the relatively similarly priced 2010/2011 E350 put a hurting on it in sales, 2012 marks a better reason to buy the E (considering it fixed one of the major areas it statistically lacked from the 535i).
Unless one is more accustomed to the 5'ers more homely looks or problematic nature, of course.

Yes and no.
I started off on the BMW lot to buy a 5 series. I had a 323i and was sure that I wanted to go back to BMW...then I drove the 535 X-Drive. Crap. Clunky, Cheap, lame.....although it did have leather
In my opinion, MB will never match BMW for sportiness...that is BMW's wheelhouse and they simply can not be beat. However, there are lots of areas that MB beats BMW and my choice reflects that.

The F10 has been derided as being the least sporty 5-Series of all time, while the W212 is the sportiest E-Class of all time (doesn't really mean all that much in the E's case though, lol), so the difference isn't as supreme as it was before, between the two.... More-so given that the F10 has focused more on luxury this time. M-B still holds the luxury candle, and BMW still the sport candle, but they've moved so close this time around.

Mercedes e350 BlueTec
when looking at cars last month with my wife, we were going to test drive the BMW 535i but, in their infinite wisdom, BMW has fixed the seat belt height on the B pillar..no adjustment possible....and as it sits on my 5' 0" wife's neck, she would be decapitated if there was an accident. She (wisely) refused to even test drive the car.
The Mercedes, of course has the expected adjustable seat belt height and we're quite happy with our new 2011 e350.

Although I'm no expert in such things the rise of the Dollar against the Euro is very recent,and small,when compared to its drop over the last few years.It wasn't that long ago that a Euro cost 86 US cents.OTOH,as recently as a month ago a Euro cost $1.45 US.I know this because I have a little display on my desktop showing the exchange rate.

WTF? No adjust on the B-Pillar for the seat belt on the F10? You can get $12K cars with that.
Pretty ridiculous, especially if you're taller or shorter than normal.

E550
I was ready to buy a BMW 550 until I discovered it is available ONLY with run-flat tires and no provision for a spare. Run-flats are $600 EACH including mounting and tax at Discount Tire, etc. And, to make things worse, they have a bad reputation for lifetime.
