selling my e60 530d but in the mean time bought this new
C250 CDI Coupe
AMG Sport Kit
7 Speed Auto
Flamenco Red Lether
COMMAND Online
Sat Nav
Full ipod integration
Heated Seats
Pano Roof
Privacy Glass
Xenon etc etc etc
so far its quicker, tighter, handles much better, sounds better (ever though its 4 cyl)....its my break from the 5 series for now, the f10 is hot but i wanted something sportier for a couple of years, maybe go for the next new 5 series when it comes.
What u think?

To me its good car, but those 7 speeds automatic are too much switching and losing/delay torque at low rpm.
And Of course it's tighter then 5-series, well try M3 and it's going to be very fast and tight. You can't compare C-class with 5 -series. But 5 series is way faster and tighter then E-class.
Well why is US behind with diesel cars? I hate this fuel/diesel regulations.

the 3 series was beaten on performance and gadgets v price. Its got a cheaper base price but match the spec and its way off....i love BMW...but it just didnt work out this time round.
the steering wheel is definetly on the wrong side for you guys.

Having had at least one MB in the driveway continuously since 1979, I am qualified to say congrats. They are different cars entirely but still are better than most other brands. I've owned two diesels in my life and they are bullet proof. Good luck.
