I will probably take her to test drive both cars this weekend or the next. What you guys recommend should I go during weekdays or weekend?

Hey guys as some of you may know my gf is selling her car and buying a new one. Shes is really stuck in between these two cars. She said she wants a 3 series, but I showed her the new C class and she likes it too, though shes pushing more towards the BMW 
. She says I made her fall in love with bimmers, lol. But anyways I really like the look on the new C class, but is a though choice. So what do you guys think btw the car is going to be white...
Have your honest opinions.

I just finished shopping cars with my gf this weekend and took delivery of her new car just yesterday afternoon.
The contenders were:
BMW E90 328/335
MB C300
Audi B8 A4 Quattro
We went with the 2010 Audi B8 A4 Quattro 2.0T, Navi, Premium Plus, free maintenance (though normally you have to pay for it). The navigation/MMI is light years ahead of the BWM idrive. Interior was superior to the 3 series in construction and quality, and MUCH more comfortable. A 328i drives like sh!t, though the 335i is a different story. The A4 is a slower car compared to a 335i, but fast enough for my gf. The Benz was very nice as well, and I would prefer the interior of the MB over a 3 series also.
As everyone has stated, you guys need to test drive to get the feel of each brand's strengths and weaknesses, and decide which attributes suit her needs/wants best.

Yeah it might be light years ahead, but the boring exterior design of Audi just dont compare to that of BMW, nor MB. IMO.
