One is a Sports car which is luxurious One is a Luxury car which is sporty Go for the one which matches into your taste.

@user-ul1ku1ds9d 8 месяцев назад

I drive and tested both…the BMW is fun. The Mercedes was better. It’s hard to explain but when your driving lm you just go into another world with the Benz. I think the BMW 230i is the best car for a younger man. It’s so fast and the handling is insane. Has the same engine with this Mercedes Benz. Both are amazing and your lucky to drive either. Have fun and be safe.

3 series drives 10 times better. I recommend you only consider the C-Class if you are an ambient light fan but everything else, BMW is just a better car overall.

@HaruHaruman 10 месяцев назад

@Lolofor_life and you won't regret it. C-Class interior quality is just appalling - too much plastic and cheap materials used for my taste. Excellent aesthetic such as beautiful ambient lights and seats but 3 Series just destroys C Class in current gen.

@Mr.Lambert777 10 месяцев назад

this statement is so true to me because I was going to get a GLC 43 AMG only because of the ambient lighting and it had decent horsepower, but when I driven the m340i, I was amazed at the power ,and the ride quality in the sportiness. So I went with the x3M40i and never look back at Mercedes again. Mercedes has all the plastic materials in the new glc and the c class. It looks very cheap

@thekrsid 6 месяцев назад

Agreed! The interiors of the c actually looked better in photos but the hard touch scratchy plastics were shocking to see in this segment. The bmw is a much more premium car and better looking in my opinion too

The BMW feels sportier but I hate the replacement of the gear shifter witha little toggle. It is not user friendly and forces you to look down to shift, and feels unsatisfying to use. The iDrive system also has too many menus.

I ended up with the 2023 BMW 330i xdrive only because my local Mercedes dealer in Albuquerque wanted 5 thousand more for "market adjustment". What a rip off! Anyway, I totally love the BMW. I will never go to the Mercedes place again just because of that!

@StephenM-wr2dr 11 месяцев назад

I remember at October 2022, I went to a Honda dealer at New York for a Civic touring, they marked 5000 usd. Lol for a Civic. So I would say 5000 markup for a Benz isn’t that bad compared to civic mark up lmao. Anyway Markup is just nonsense for these mass produced vehicles

@patrickaustin8528 11 месяцев назад

I feel the same about market adjustments. My BMW dealer refuses to do markups . I have bought 3 BMWs from them just because of that 👍

@rwczr9364 11 месяцев назад

I have a 22 c class. When I went to the dealer they originally had a 3,000 markup but I got it taken off simply by answer their question of “do you really want this car” I said yes. I also got a 300 dollar discount off msrp just because i said i would rate their dealer 5 stars on a surgery they give you after you buy the car.

@DrSanchez87 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for the detailed review these great cars! I'm about to replace my "old" BMW 320 by a company car which I can also use for my private business. This whole company car things comes with an additional tax we must pay, which is generally cut in half for hybrid (yay, Mercedes sells the C300E in Germany!), but from 2025 onwards the hybrid must be able to have a fully electrical range of more than 80 km (~50 miles). This means for me the BMW will become significantly more expensive over the years, even though the base price of the configuration is cheaper. 😕 If I'd buy this car myself, I'd go 100% with the BMW, because it's from my perspective the better car in almost any section that's relevant for me.

I’d agree with this, as I’ve owned 3 Mercedes, just picked up a 750i, can’t believe how much more I enjoy the BMW for driving. I do however love the looks of Mercedes though and a lot of the tech that currently are doing with MBUX 2.0. iDrive is definitely the weakest part of owning a BMW

Somehow you missed the fact that BMW has a much higher quality in the interior ! Except for the upper part of the dashboard and doors ALL other surfaces in the Mercedes are made of hard plastic materials. The BMW offers also soft touch surfaces beneath the shoulder line. How come you didn't mention that ?

@SDav21 11 месяцев назад

Exactly! I don't know why many car reviewers and journalist gloss over this part. The entire lower half of the doors and dash in the C Class is hard cheap plastic where previous models were all soft touch there. It's unacceptable. And all reviews I've seen just gloss over it!! They're swooned by the LOOK of the interior and not the quality.

It screams cost cutting. No HUD or gauge clusters was an instant turn off. Most plain jane view ever. Not to mention the car turns absolutely no heads. Looks like some kind of egg blob. Not sporty or sleek at all. The steering felt robotic its driving dynamics compared to a bmw m340i is night and day. I tried the EV trend and never again. I went with a bmw g80 m3 after I got a raise at my job but I truly don't see the appeal in a tesla at all except if ur using it as a poor mans quick car.

All new Mercs are seriously overrated. The engineers have left Mercedes and the accountants run it now. Cost cutting is evident in every aspect of it. They've only focused on the tech in the screen and that's it. And the tech is the cheap part because cheap Chinese cars have all that. Mercs defining feature was supposed to be their unwavering engineering and solidity. That doesn't come through. So there's no reason to buy a Mercedes anymore.
