Vs Autobild: BMW 330d Touring vs. Mercedes-Benz C320 CDI T

[Zafiro]

BMW is indeed 1.5 seconds faster to 200km/h.
But how many times will you do a 0-200 km/h in reallife? And why a diesel?
Anyway the sprints from 60-100/80-120 km/h are pretty close together.
Maybe it's the subjective feeling of the speed.
And just in case you didn't notice, the BMW is the price/performance winner in the test comparison.

And by the way, I see BMW often win a test in Autobild.
Like the diesel tests of the 520D against the E220 CDI and the Audi 2.7 TDI or the 335i vs CLK350 and some other tests. As you can see it's not only when it comes to sport. Also comfort/handeling points will be also taken in consideration in the total score in all of these comparison. It's not at all that BMW loses points in these category.

I might sound a bit Pro-Mercedes sometimes but I'm not actually. Just stating some facts here and there.

its a german test with autobahn to me interval between 80-160km/h is very important, those are the speeds I often travel in. So yes 0-200 is just as important as 0-100 to me.

you stating facts, so Im I. I guess it depends on which eyes you look with

Still no explanation why the bimmer lost 7 points in warranties category? If you look at all categories the scores are very close but there is one category that arent so close, its the warranties category, whole 7 points up to the MB. BMW Germany certainly need to improve the warranties if it should be up with other gemrmans..

The C Facelift is far from a bad car..i have one.. and ive driven the new 3er..my friend has a 320 and i have a 200K.. obviously the 3er is

the 320i is rediciolus slow. Few ponnies and little torque and only 4-cylinders, this engine dont suit the 3er. The car lose character. Its a shame sweden dont sell 323i, much better engine than the 320i. I rather have your engine than the 320i.

yep my car feels faster

320i has 150hp and 325 has 218hp, a huge gap. Its just crazy not to sell 323i here in Sweden, I6 and 177hp, thats suits the 3er better and and makes it a more harmonic car to drive.

Im still curious about warranties since BMw lose a lot of points compared to them. What warranties does MB and Audi have that BMw is missing? in this comparison MB gets 7 points more in warranties, why?

BMW's anti-rust warranty = 12 years

MB's anti-rust warranty = 30 years

BMW's mobility warranty = never ending

MB's mobility warranty = 30 years


Either way, relax, the editors have their own opinion. Neither of these two is a bad car. They simply appeal to different folks.

Should have bought a Mercedes: they have seat massages in the higher end models.

I would take the 330d out of those two cause C class is very dated anymore. I would even choose the 3 Touring over A4 Avant.
