Re: [scans] BMW 330d vs. Mercedes C 250 CDI
I have to disagree, I think the test is valid. Both cars cost the same, so when you have ~40.000E to spend on such a car, BMW offers you the 330d and MB offers you the 250CDI. I don't know how much more the C320CDI will cost, but pricewise, those to are comparable.
If it was for me, will take the 330d in black with brown inteior, and M pack

Re: [scans] BMW 330d vs. Mercedes C 250 CDI
There is a dilemma here: Compare cars with similar pricetag, or cars with similar engines?

Well, the same pricetag?! Then we could compare C 250 CDI against a Lotus Elise or sth. similiar… Nevertheless, both cars belong to the same segment, same pricetag, but not the same engine type! Okay, both are diesels…

Re: [scans] BMW 330d vs. Mercedes C 250 CDI
Let me edit my post then

Similar pricetag and segment, or similar engines and segment?

Re: [scans] BMW 330d vs. Mercedes C 250 CDI
Someone considering a 330d will most likely not be considering a C250 CDI because they will be performance-oriented if they're considering a car like the 330d in the first place. A C320 CDI is the Mercedes offering to go against the 330d, not the C250 CDI.

The C250 CDI is a new model and BMW might not have a current competitor against it.

BMW do have an engine for C250 but for some strange reasons its only offered for the 1-series and its called 123d.

Ah, there we go.

A theoretical BMW 323d would be the competitor to the C250 CDI then.

They really should update the engine from the C320 CDI.

AMS : BMW 330d vs Mercedes C250CDI
Pictures from the AutoMotorUndSport comparing the Facelifted BMW 330d with the new MB C250CDI.

























Both are wonderful cars. Couldn't go wrong with any of them.
It's up to personal preferences.
