Yes, the US has a different sport pkg then in Europe. The US sport pkg is basically the Europe's Avantgarde model with 7-spoke Evolution wheels.
The Sport pkg offered in Europe has all these thing: "It comprises sports suspension, 17-inch 5-spoke light-alloy wheels, mixed-size tyres (size 225/45 at the front and size 245/40 at the rear) and an oval stainless steel tailpipe (the diesel models feature two chromed tailpipes). The 17-inch high-performance brakes, with perforated brake discs and "Mercedes-Benz"-badged brake callipers, not only keep the power under control but look good too. For the interior, there are sports seats upholstered in either "Speed" fabric, leather or TWIN Leather, while studded, brushed stainless steel sports pedals, a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel with thumbrests and a short leather gear knob round off the package. "

also, if you click on the AMG section, they also have a AMG sport pkg.

I think there is a slight confusion here. :p
I will be going to 12th grade and will finish school in a year. Then I'll be going to America for university. I currently attend the American School of Dubai.
I am just "planning" on which car I should get there. Therefore, think of it as if I'm buying the car in America.

No, I am not BSing here. The reason I am not sure if I want an Audi is because its resale value is far lower than Mercedes-Benz's and BMW's.

well if you are serious i will help you out a bit.
alboston said it best i think
you value performance more buy bmw
you value luxury more buy mercedes
simple as that
personally i feel the comparison is unfair between these two cars. which is why i bought the benz. it just comes down to what you want out of your car. right when i walked in to my benz dealer and test drove it i know it was for me.
goodluck. and you should post this on a bmw board as well to get an even synopsis

Thanks.
But how does Mercedes-Benz's manual transmission compare to that of BMW's?
Secondly, which BMW forum should I go to get feedback on this topic?

I post all over the forum because I want to know and talk about the cars, I mean why else would I come here? I have posted in the E55 AMG, S-Class, S55 AMG, etc. but I never said I was getting the car.
I am not sure how much my father will spend on my car when I move, that is why I am looking at both, the Mercedes-Benz C32 AMG and the C320 Sport Sedan.

come on now. is that really a deterrent?
you can give us a better excuse than that
also you are a student, its not like your gonna sell it in 2 years, im guessing you gonna keep the car for about 6 or 7 yrs till you get decent job.
