The first score is the maximum points possible. The Mercedes won by 2 points: 467-465.

Warranty killed the BMW again... wouldn't have happened in the States, that's too bad.

Re: Autobild: BMW 330d Touring vs. Mercedes-Benz C320 CDI T

2 points is not really much... looks like both cars are pretty much on par with each other.

Re: Autobild: BMW 330d Touring vs. Mercedes-Benz C320 CDI T

Both cars are on par, close comparo. It seems to come down to personal preference on which car someone would want for this segment. A small turbo diesel wagon is pretty sweet imo.

Hmm, that gets me thinking, is there an E320 Bluetech Wagon in Deutschland?

Re: Autobild: BMW 330d Touring vs. Mercedes-Benz C320 CDI T

In this comparison 330d is cheaper to buy, accelerate faster and drinks less fuel than the Benz. I would never pay extra for a car thats slower and drinks more fuel. Noway Autobild can take this comparison and shove it up somewhere

and BTW why are the warranties for BMW so bad in germany. Every germancarmag complain on it. BMW should improve the warranties, it would help them to gain more points in this comparisons.

Re: Autobild: BMW 330d Touring vs. Mercedes-Benz C320 CDI T

Why is it that it got consumption/enviroment the same score, if it consumes less the Benz.
Also handling same score, and if the bimmer accelerates better why not a better score ?!
This is a crapy comparo.
