xiLLeNtz

GinaxDongseng
mmm .
c-class. its durable c350 preferably. haha.
and its cheaper than bmw =)
Chioster
The 3 series will be much more sportier but the C-class will have more gadgets.
meeshell
bmw. looks more sportier. which I like.
slimjim
where i work, new hires usually buy bmw's. older people buy mercedes or suv's as they have children.
crazyfeel
bmw 335.. turbocharged 3L Inline6 FTW

the bmw 3 series.. from e36, e46, to even the new e90s all have great handling, drives smooth, and are luxurious

but i guess you have to ride and drive a car to decide which is better for you

u cant compare bmw with benz smile.gif

benz win in classy and quality
SeeinGxStarS
BMW. Hands down.

Not that I have anything against Benz, I'd prefer not to own one until I'm "older."

i have always hated the C-class. if it was me, i would go 3 series.

Are we talking the 3 coupe or sedan here?
That makes a lot of difference to me since I think the sedan looks like ass while the coupe is definitely hot.

sweet_lia

C-Class... its just tons more classy... i dunno about other places but in Asia, BMWs are usually associated with mafia, while Mercs are for nice people (:

Right, and being "soo korean" is...?
knitoe
definately mercedes. bmw's interior looks like it hasn't changed for 10 years. mercedes build quality is also much much better, just look at the jd reports.
cksdayoff
i'd go with a 335xi, you want luxury and want a faster car than 99% of the people on the road.

RePLaY
go with benz...bmws are nice too...but benz are better....thats my opinion tho and of course im a fan of benz LoL
OWN3D
benz is garbage don't waste money on a benz. they USED to be king of all cars but now they feel so cheap and crappy it's not even funny. not to mention overpriced and tons of mechanical problems. ppl that buy benz just buy it for the name.

bmw on the other hand are still built with quality and everything feels better than the benz. also great handling and looks nicer. both cars are everywhere on the road tho but i think i see 3 series a lot more (i guess more ppl think it's a better car?)

either way i'd go w/ a 3 series although they are everywhere i still wouldn't mind one

umm.... okay your post isnt exactly very well informed either then... have you ever been to taiwan? If not, you dont have the right to say anything on the matter... im not kidding, nobody dares mess with BMW drivers here..
v8subie
It's called stereotyping people because of what they drive and I do have every right to say anything on the matter. Ignorance, that's what it's called once you stereotype people. Nobody in the Yakuza or Triads cares if the person drives a BMW in any other country. German woman driving a German car in Germany, but I guess she's part of the mafia because she's driving a BMW. It's like saying any black kid has a natural talent for playing basketball, because he's black. Sheer ignorance.

Im being stereotypical? im speaking the facts. The fact of the matter is that i didnt say that all BMW ppl arent to be messed with, only the ones in some parts of Asia/Taiwan. Dont believe me, come to Taiwan then. In Taiwan, the cheapest BMW,120i, costs around $50,000 USD. Almost nobody here buys them, because of the jacked up price. Ive been living here for many years now, and my dads a doctor, and out of all of his colleages, I know NOBODY with a BMW. Everybody has a Lexus or Mercedes. I can safely assure you that probably at least half of the people who buy BMW in Taiwan are mobbed up in one way or another. If not some sort of black market men, then influential businessmen. Not people you would dare stop on the road to argue with. How the issue is relevant to a German woman in Germany i have no clue. I was never referring to the BMW society as a whole, just some in asia. Plus, i used "usually", so the "stereotype" would be more like "black people are usually good at basketball" which isnt far from the truth

hilarious w00t.gif

its a fact that certain makes has a 60%(correct me if im wrong) import tax in taiwan. For you to say that most of the people who can afford or owns BMW's are the mob and career criminals is very ignorant and stereotypical. using your dad and his colleagues as an example/source doesnt make you too bright either.

more than 60%... and if you dont believe me, come to where i live. Im not saying all of the BMW owners here are criminals, but definately more criminals use BMWs than Mercedes

see... thats the thing. how can you possibly prove somthing like that? you just look at them and assume they are the mob/gansters by the way the look or dress? its not like you can say you are in the mob and you know for a fact they are the mob because theyre your friends. thats like me saying most lowriders and hot rods in california are owned by mexican drug dealers.
justinokang
the new benz c class is atrocious.
get the bmw 3.
or a g37
BoAFriend
Both would be awesome, but I'd go for the Mercedes C Class. The 2008 C300 Sport Sedan is sexy as hell.
phantompc4
lets just forget the whole argument.

be unique and get a 67 camaro ss. haha.

3 series! I LOVE MY 335I. C class is just a C class.....unless its a c63 wink.gif

well since youre a 3 series driver, youre bound to be biased whatever the topic is...
okay, whatever, i give up. I apologize to whoever i may have offended.
what~the~vu


lately, the more i see 3 series, the more i seem to like it. somehow the benz seems more like an old ppls car. hopefully i can get the bimmer soon. ph34r.gif

what 3 series are you planning to get?
truecolormix
i still believe BMW when i see them, prob since my mom has an BMW 3 series as the typical young boxy cars, my mom always wanted to be young so she got that car not too long ago, i drove that && the E class one, i know it's not the same class, but i have been in plenty C class cars i have to admit, the mercedes was love at first sight, i fell in love driving it compared to BMW, the bmw doesn't seem classy i perfer if it was an BMW lol get what everyone loves && is overplayed the m3 lol.

i plan on getting the Mercedes later when i get more money, if my mom doesn't get to it first, then i will have to drive a her BMW which i hate convertibles since lots of guys check you out && stare at you at every stoplight booo!

Haha, I'd probably take a BMW but I do have a soft spot for the SL series and AMG.
