If you had to choose......

ok, here's my current situation, i am intrested in purchasing a new vehicle, my options are:

1-2008 BMW 320i with M sport Package
2-2008 Merc C200 C Class Avantguarde with AMG Sport Body kit


i was leaning towards the 320i,but a sales rep brought one of the Merc's home for me today to test drive,was quiet impressed,but i also love the E90's,didnt get the chance to test drive one of em yet,but already know what i want, E90 MBlue,19" CSL's, H&R Sport Springs,Hartge lip,CF roof spoiler and trunk spoiler,etc.so any info will be appreciated, i know this being a BMW forum,you all might be biased to lean me towards the BMW side,but bring it on

C class ... I have driven both the new C and my 335i and a 328i ... the only reason I went with the BMW was the motor in my 335i ... if I had to chose between the 328i and the new C Class the new C would be my choice without a doubt.

C200 will be faster than 320i.... and more comfy in terms of ride as well.... no rattles, etc..... it's one tough call..but in my country, new C200 is 30% more expensive than 320i, so I picked 320i.

The C class has a more refined look and feel than the E90.

I would take the C class instead.

Only thing I like about the E90 is the 335 motor but this thread doesn't mention that so..
