Ok i dont' know who said what but my response to the previous few pages are here..
Firstly a white car with black interior, isn't that one of the most standard combination? Might look sharper with a red interior but for normal cars white/silver goes with black doesn't it?
Interior boring.. well I admit all BMWs has the similar interior nowadays, it doesn't look great in pics I agree as well, but for sure it looks great in real.
Dated? I mean, have you seen a 3er on the road? The coupe absolutely doesn't look dated, and the sedan, from a far distance I admit i don't like it too much, it is stubby and lines don't flow to well, but up close, unless you are taking the most bottom models with 16" wheels and no chrome kidney bars, then it looks a bit cheap.. But take a 325i and put it next to the C class Elegance or something, stand a few metres back and look at it, the E90 is no less fresh than the new C, and it is a bit surprising that MB couldn't come up with a better body shape even with a 2.5year advantage over the E90. Mind you the Cclass classic package looks basically crap. MB has continually been releasing pics of the Advantgarde/AMG kit/C63 C classes only.

The gap between BMW M, Audi RS and MB AMG has decreased, which is normal. The demand for cars 10-15 years ago were more comfort/safety focused with less emphasis on driving pleasure and capabilities, but BMW had always been a sporty brand.. Nowadays we all talk about steering 'feel' and bodyroll etc. while people were extremely happy before in ship like suspension cars because they were so comfy. Now of course, everyone is trying to make the most sporty car while offering some levels of ride comfort, and with that in focus, of course the gap decreases. So no, i don't feel gutted about it. How did you feel when the E39 absolutely kicked the Eclass's ass when the W124 used to rule the world of mid sized executive cars?

Let me put it this way: IMO it can easily hold on until the facelift next year.


Honestly I think it's great that there is more competition. More cars to love. The 3 Germans are now closer than ever in many ways. For example the S-Class has lost some tests against the A8 which used to be unheard of. In the end the competition is good for the customers but I would still be seriously disappointed if M3 lost against the C 63 on Nurburgring with the same tires...

^^that was so long ago so i dont remeber..
but for example i was sad when MB lost its no 1 position
i guess its a normal reaction from a fan..

PS
And please do not be angry at MB for releasing good pictures..
flip the anger towards munich..

yeah if that happens..and some BMW fan say they are happy with it..
then im gonna shoot myself in the ass..haha

PS
but it wont happen.. so im safe

I just went onto various MB official sites, the Gallery they had for the new Cclass, ALL in Advantgarde trim with the big MB logo on the grille, not too willing to show it in other trims..
But hey, do you agree that the new C's front is very BMW looking? It even have eyebrows! the bonnet line leading from the windscreen to the nose is strikingly similar.

a 6.3L engine vs a 4.0L, with that figure in mind if the C63 has a proper chassis, why can't it be faster? But I do expect that BMW chassis miracle will still make the M3 faster.. but apparently the C63 has gone stiffer while the M3 has gone a little softer reading from reviews, so yes i am a bit disappointed that a M3 is slwoer than a C63 on track, but get over it, i am not entering WTCC or ETCC.

^betta load that gun.. ..haha

PS
I dont think it looks like a BMW front.. no..
the C is as much MB as it gets.. sorry man..

I guess anything is possible... I remember someone in the GermanCarFans forum saying he'll die before he ever saw BMW become the number 1 premium car maker over Mercedes Benz...

Was that you? sorry man...

Don't think the C has 'fresher' looking tail.




that was what i was talking about



well the C63 looks pretty hot at the front

^no offense but those pics didnt help your cause..



especially the front pic..
