BMW 318ci vs. Merc C180k Sports Coupe

[mason_RsX]

Sport is really a blah word that really doesn't denote anything and just tries to make a car sound faster

i.e. Ford Contour "sport" there was nothing sporty about the Ford Contour

Well it was finally decided... Here is my sister's new car:











318Ci (143bhp)
Manual
Jet Black
Beige Leather interior
Sunroof
CD
Climate Control
Cruise Control
Multi function steering wheel
and all the usual BMW standard equipment.

It's a 2002 and has only done 24,000 miles, 1 owner from new. Excellent condition inside and out and was bought at a very good price. Needless to say my sis is very happy. Anyway, just wanted to let you guys know how it all worked out in the end...

Beautiful car, she made a very good choice. My buddy was a Merc mechanic and he said the C class Merc's don't drive anywhere near as nice as a 3 series.

Thanks, i did the searching for her and it was the nicest 318 i saw, so i bought it on the spot. Gave it a good thrashing on the way home too

Jay, lying won't get you anywhere, just show us the Mk 4 Golf 1.4 she bought just to haunt you



I like it a lot, with bigger rims you'd have a hard time telling it was a 318Ci, really good colour combination as well.

Yup, definitely planning to put some 17's on it.

Either

I really like the 5-spoke "M" wheels. A friend has them on his 330i and they look great. Only problem is washing them. There is alot of surface area that is hard to hit.
