2008 328xi Coupe Sport or 2008 MB C300 Sport

Babe · 10-28-2007, 09:40 AM

OK, gotta make up my mind.

2008 BMW 328xi Coupe loaded with Premium Sport Navi...
or
2008 Mercedes C300 4 door with Premium II Sport Navi...

jetblk328i · 10-28-2007, 09:43 AM

depends if you want a sedan or a coupe.....

Considering that this is a BMW board, you might not get an impartial response.

Babe · 10-28-2007, 09:52 AM

I like the both, but do not want needless problems. Also BMW customer service lately sucks

jetblk328i · 10-28-2007, 09:55 AM

however...the benz MAY have better service, but perhaps it might be going into the dealer more often down the road....

Mercedes is near the bottom on the reliability scale.

where does say that please I think the 08 C300 is totally redone

MB's reliability has been notoriously bad in recent years.

On the flip side, BMW is the only manufacturer that still gives you FREE maintenance.

I say E92

jetblk328i · 10-28-2007, 11:30 AM

yes the free mainatinence is a plus, its 4 times which is about 200 bucks a time so you save 800 bucks....and mercedes maintainence is very expensive....

Why aren't you also considering the RWD BMW sedan?

Flea7 · 10-28-2007, 11:44 AM

I had that same decision to make last week but it was between a C350 with Muti Media and P2 option...msrp @ 43,800. It was pretty much loaded.
My other option was a 328i with premium, sports ......msrp 42,050

After putting both through a test drive I picked the bmw because it drove way better that the mercedes. The mercedes was very soft.
It was a tough choice because I think the mercedes offered more for the money. So, to me it depends what you want?.....More luxury ...or More Sport?

I don't think you can go wrong with both ....the mercedes is also a nice ride.

I hope this helps.

If you do decide to go with the mercedes ...I would go with the 268hp c350 for just a little more. I think it about a 2,200 difference. Again, 43,800 for the c350 fully loaded.
