If you want an entry car to compare to a fusion, you have to look at the 1er now. And while price may be competitive for the ford, im sure you wont mistake the driving experience between them....
the E39 was 188 inches in length. the F30 is 182 inches in length. A difference of 6 inches. Sure the BMW may be a little more fun to drive, but for everyday road driving the BMW doesn't really hold a HUGE advantage over most newer cars now days.
