Check out the 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class and 2010 Audi A6, if you’re looking to cross shop the BMW 5 Series with its competitors.  

For 2010, the entry level 535i with six-cylinder engine is priced at $51,000; stepping up to the V-8-powered 550i demands an MSRP of $60,400. In comparison, the 2010 E350 starts at $48,050 and the A6 at $45,200, both six-cylinder models.

Like the BMW, the Mercedes and A6 offer higher end models. The Mercedes E550 has V-8 power for $56,300 and the Audi gives you a choice of upgraded engines in the form of a supercharged V-6 ($50,200) or V-8 ($60,950).
