Lightbulb Autobild: (new) MB C350 vs Audi A4 3.2 vs BMW 330i



Smart move by MB to give Autobild the sportversion (AMG-kit) of the new C-class and a bad move by BMW to give Autobild a 3-series without the M-package.
I also hope its Audi with a Quattro being tested.

My predictions:
1. C350
2. A4
3. 330i
(Audi will be the pricewinner)

Isn't "AMG-Kit" just the Avantgarde version of the C-Class? I don't know if the C-Class will actually come out on top, give the 3-Series performance capabilities and the value of the A4. This should be a close comparo since all 3 cars are solid performers.

yet it is. Makes the car sportier and with stiffer suspension than the Elegance version. AMG-kit isnt available for Elegance version, only the Avantgarde.

I would like to read a duel between Elegance and Avantgarde to hear about the differences.

Yet the most important market for C350 will be US, and there only 335i is available.

Mind that Europe likes diesel engines and low-end petrol engines more. High-end petrol engines are very rare here.

BMW's still producing 330i's? I thought they replaced that with a 328....
