I dont think i have seen this comparison done yet?

Does anyone here know how these two cars would perform against each other ??

How come the C350 is so quiet in terms of review...? i haven't heard anything about it.

Is that a legitimate comparo? I am just curious ??

thanks in advance for your insights ...

It's a legit comparison. The Mercedes is cheaper with the current incentives. However, it's slower, more like 5.5 or 5.6s to 60. The BMW is probably sportier too, especially a sport line version. I don't know much more than that.

I test drove one when I was deciding on the 335i. It was definitely more sluggish and the steering felt less responsive. Required more turns on the wheel to make the same turn as the 335i. The transmission never seemed to be in the right gear. F30 has more "cool" features but there are a few on the C class too.
