hello

Hey everyone!

This is my first post... I currently own a 2006 BMW 323i. I was compelled to join your forum after seeing the new C300 in person and reading about them! Very beautiful car.

Anyway, thought I would say 'hi'

So how do you think the C300 compares with your Bimmer?

Well, I haven't driven a C300 yet... but I want to! I have seen it in person and it definately looks absolutely beautiful... as much if not more so than current my 3-series.

The other thing that I have noticed is that it looks like Mercedes has really stepped up the quality on this latest iteration.

In addition, from what I have read, it sounds like the handling is pretty close to the current 3-series and that the ride quality may be better as well.

All these things have generated some interest from me!

As you can probably tell, I am not the average "buy a 335i because it is faster" kind of guy... there is more to a car than speed.

Well then you'll really want to read the forum, because there has been a lot of discussion on the C350 vs. the 335i.

looks like good people here!

I am going to try out one of these W204s soon... maybe I can trade my wife into one from her CRV!

To all of you here... if you haven't tried one, try a modern 3-series BMW. They are very nice and I love mine! I like the sedan better than the coupe personally.

I am quite interested by the new C-Class, though! It is freakin' beautiful and I like the active suspenion idea!
