I dunno about Canada, but the US-spec C's are lacking major features as compared to the European counterpart. I don't quite understand why MBUSA is being such a stickler but not giving us the memory seats and other key features is kind of ....???!?! I would go with the Bimmer on this one because even without the sports package it will more than likely outperform the C class and it's really not that bad looking. The only thing I don't like about it are the rear brake lights. My mom has a 325i and it's a great little car. Hard decision though... Good look buddy! |

OT: why the 330i is not offered in NA? I thought that our 330i was the 328i in NA,now it appears that our 325i is 328i in NA,damn that confusing. |

Siko, this is no doubt an exciting time for you, I just can't help but love the anticipation of getting something new, especially when we're talking about a new car! From my understanding of things it seems that waiting for the 3er FL is not an option for you. Between the current 3er and the C, I would get a C (with an AMG pack of course). But I'm sure that you are more than aware of the risk of buying a car that has just begun its run ie quirks, defaults, longterm reliability... But again from what I understand you are leasing the car not buying it (correct?) so those things matter less, and the C seems like a solid package from the get go. Thats why my vote went to the C. Had it been between the C and the FL 3er, your decision would definitely harder. Let us know what you end up getting! |

^^ Yeah, otherwise I'd be drving a Pinto, or a Ford (same thing).  On a serious note, as many have suggested, I'll organise a same-day test drive of both cars in the actual configuration I want or at least both manuals) and decide then. I'm also considering perhaps waiting for the 3er FL and be carless for a Month or so!? |
