Why they didn't get the C350? and isn't the 330i now has 272hp?

Impressive, considering the 3er is a much older car!
Bravo BMW

Natural competitor for the C350 is 335i and not 330i. In Europe is this logical competition between C-class and 3-series:

320i vs C180
325i vs C200
330i vs C280
335i vs C350

And from September 2007, the 3-series sedan and touring gets the new DI engine with 272hp

I really don't understand why MB has let themselves get so behind the times with their engine range (V6 and 4Cil). Despite how good the rest of the car is, the engine range is letting the car down in comparisons, though in isolation I'm sure they're fine.

Re: Swedish AMS: BMW 330i vs Mercedes C280 - 05-27-2007, 06:36 PM

this engine sucks..and so does this comparison
how can one gain points in 2 categories wich to me are almost the same?
Driving Dynamics.. and sporty car..haha whats sporty car?

and still the mb lost by 2% against a car with a heck of alot better engine..
so mb wake up and give the C the engines it deserves.. so we can see some real battles
