08' BMW E92 Coupe
Jim, as much as I now like the new 3-series, i don't think I could convince myself to take the hit on the benz just to pick one up so soon. although i'm sure the bmw performs and handles much better and is more fun to drive, i'm still in love with the looks of my C SS. i think it's one sexy looking car. if i could just get the suspension abit tighter and about another 20-30 horses, i'd be overall satisfied with this car. good luck selling the ride. if you do get the E90, you better come back and post some pics bro

My neighbor has a black one and at first glance it looks like a 5 series. Frank is right about the changing the wheels (they do look like *** with the small stock wheels) and thats why overall appearance I pick the C230, everything flows accordingly and no need to change the wheels to complete the whole car.
New 3 with 19 ASA AR1
Then again, changing and picking the right wheels makes a big difference in the appearance of some cars/trucks. Hell, even my freelander looked decent with the same wheels

I have to agree with FrankW in this case. 
IMHO the pics you posted don't make the car look better. Those wheels are way large and make the car look even smaller than it actually is; wrong proportions.

i think that E90 looks sweet with those wheels. can anyone photoshop them on a C class sport sedan?

It looks like a constipated TL, with an MB star and a much nicer grille.
And what's with the clamshell hood? Like that would ever make production on a C-Class....
