IMO, it's the best entry level luxury sedan in it's class (A4, C300, 328i, S40).

I don't even have a "list". Once I saw the official B8 pictures last year, my decision was made. I only mentioned those cars for comparison of european entry level sedans, and in my mind there really is no comparison. A4>>>328i>C300>S40.

o.. because jezz told me when you talk to him you thought of the S40, but then you give up and go for the audi instead

anyway good choice

i thought of the used 2005 Audi A4 but i just wanna stay out of euro car problem so i might just go for the G35 coupe instead for similar price

I personally think the new BMW's look the best hands down. I would also favor the lexus g35 or IS. here is a link to autospies article/

I see at least one 3 series at every stop light. They look ok, but are way too common. I don't care for the styling of the new Lexus IS. The GS is dope, but out of my price range.

IMO, there really is no debate about the best car in this segment...

Here's my original part-out thread: https://mbworld.org/forums/parting-out/242422-cl203-part-out-party.html

I assume your car is a sedan, so the only parts that you could use would be the wheels, coilovers, brakes, and shifter. Let me know.

Ok, just let me know what you want and when you might be able to come get it. The only things that have been sold are the lip, grille, headlights, and tails. The spoiler is pending sale, just waiting for me to take it off the darn car. I have a guy interested in the wheels, but we haven't been able to meet up to finalize the deal quite yet.

Ha, you need to read the thread in the classified forums...
he needs your old parts, and labor.

And what about that comment about looking worse than stock?
What, just 'cause I got confused and put the tail lights on the front and headlights on the rear, and Blake has to drive backwards.....

C'mon....no biggie....

As stated in my part-out thread, I am not willing to ship parts that require swaps since I don't have my stock parts.
