Re: Need Advice on buying a new benz or bmw
Personally I would get the 325i Coupe...BMW handle better and have amazing steering feel...so you will feel very connected to the car and road. I know Benz has started to offer manuals too so it's not a question of that at all...but in terms of better overall performer...it's the BMW

If your even the slightest bit interested in performance and/or drive quality, get the BMW. The C230 has just about the weakest engine you can find on a luxury car, and drives like a dead cow.

Cool, thanks for the advice. I was leaning toward the bmw before but now almost 100 percent. Another question is what is the difference really between the 325i coupe and sedan?

Re: Need Advice on buying a new benz or bmw
Bmws are very reliable cars, while Mercedez Benz is almost at the bottom of the reliability list.

Re: Need Advice on buying a new benz or bmw
Besides the number of doors, not much. Check www.edmunds.com for standard features lists for each car.

I beleive the Ci is a tad bit lighter then the i, making it a tad bit faster.
I also wanted to say, BMW 3-Series is on C&D's top ten cars list yet again.

Re: Need Advice on buying a new benz or bmw
It has been for quite a while, along with the Corvette and the Accord. Gotta love class leaders
