Vs Autobild: (F30) BMW 320d vs Mercedes C220 Cdi

[Zafiro]

The winner: "still sporty and ride comfort is better than we (Autobild) expected it to be. More agile and more driving joy than C-class. C-class to be one generation behind is obvious compared to F30."

I sat in the F30 today, and right after (like 10 mins, the dealership next door) in a W204 FL.

Now I know I sound like a fanboy to some, but others know I give credit where credit is due...but the W204 feels like an absolute relic after experiencing the F30. These last few years will be very hard for this car.

Don`t call me a hater, but I really don`t like the front of this new 3-Series at all!. The exaggerated hood and slim headlights from certain angles looks like a large forehead with small eyes. (Frankenstein)
Thay might mess up the coupe this way




The C is the better car with fewer problems.

The car looks great in reality and thise comes from a person who actually seen the car in metal. Looks apart, the new 3-series is the best car right now and we can all agree on that.

GTA why is the C better and with fewer problems

 

[Gianclaudio]

I think the F30 looks nice but not great (something common in german cars these days) but the C class on the other hand, looks ugly after the facelift. IMO, it was much, much nicer before FL.

Interior wise, I love the F30, much nicer than both C klasse and A4, in my point of view.

I'd take the C off of looks, but the 3 off of overall car. The F.L did bring the W204 down a bit. They nailed it before the facelift. Should have just changed the interior, the graphics on the lights and called it a day!

Really? I don't know why people would think that.

Yeah something went wrong with C-class after the facelift. F30 is more handsome than the C-class IRL.

I am not your typical -burst out in spontaneous laughter - type of person, but you made that happen today LOL!

PS: No offense Klier mate

Well now that you've finally seen it in person do you think they have done a great job with its looks?

The exterior is superb. White suits the car very well. They had this 335i in white and with black sidemirrors and with dark tinted windows. My only complaint are interior materials.

Wait, what? Why?

 

[Morrison]

I think the 3er F30 is better from all aspects, I love it. But, let`s just wait for it`s true rival. They we`ll see how good is the F30.

 

[Tarek]

From the above pics..i think i like the C's front better,but i like the overall shape of the rear.

 

[mini_cooper4]

Competition has no chance again It's a 3-series
The purpose of this car is to leave others way behind and it did it!

 

[Deckhook]

Funny if you read the other comparison by CAR magazine they do say the 3 series is still king but the days of them being miles ahead of the competition are long gone. I suppose until we each drive it ourselves we can only guess how much better it really is to its rival but based on these two reviews it's up to personal opinion where that gap is.

 

[Morrison]

But look at the performances. The 3er rocks at this thing for sure ! Also check the consumption, the power of the car. This car has many good points.

 

[mini_cooper4]

I've owned an E90 and have drove the A4 and C-Class. The E90 is still better than the current competition and that's not only my opinion.
People say that the F30 is better than the almost perfect E90 and that only means one thing!

 

[Morrison]

E90 was not too beautiful before facelift but got a nice interior and engines we`re extremely good.
