could have been a number of things. I had a 500+hp audi tt and it was great in the winter with good winter tires. Just lay off the boost and you're good. That car didn't even have traction control or ESP or anything.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I'm going to stay away from the N55 found in the 335 due to the bearing issues they have, i don't want to wake up to a seized engine out of the blue. 340i with the B58 took care of all the bearing clearance issues.

X3M or SQ5?
I think the better comparison would be an X3m40 but in both cases, BMWThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
C43 or the C400 are looking really good right now too. On paper the c400 sounds similar to the 340i but from what I heard the 340i is alot faster than what BMW says.
Mercedes always had a great interior setup. Can't go wrong there
Well I have a treat for you.. have you heard of... the C450....This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Another one to add to your ever growing list
Just reading up on them now. Mercedes-Benz charges 400 for a pre purchase inspection vs bmw is only 300. I feel like mercedes will definitely be more costly for reg maintenance but who goes for the dealer for maintenance if it's out of warranty anywayThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

Given the fact that a $100 difference on an important service-type item even registered as a blip on your radar, you should definitely not be looking at either of those brandsThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
It doesn't make a difference to me. I just have an issue with small details in everything. I don't know how well dealerships go through the pre purchase inspection. When I took a bmw in at a specialized bmw they told me bmw dealership doesn't even take off the engine coversThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

2015 C400 and 2016 C450 are both 1 year and done model but C450 is basically C43 where C400 is just C300 with different engine if I recall correctly.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Transmission change was the big difference between C450 and C43This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Yeah, C450 = C43.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
edit: I didn't realize there was a transmission change. But I believe the C450 was supposed to be the AMG-lite before they gave it a "proper" AMG nomenclature.
2 more cogs and more farts is what C43 brought in. It's not a huge deal end of the day.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Purchased a 2017 c43 this evening. Pick it up on Thursday. Pretty excited, never owned a Merc
It’s a nice car
Enjoy man!
