The new C is nice, but why trade in your BMW M's for a run of the mill C class.
Is it just for practical reasons?

Just seems like such a downgrade.

Big downgrade, but the baby comes first and the E90 M3 sedan i'll wait for the second production year. The C was a cheap option until then.

HUGE downgrade, but its my only car. the M Coupe is an awesome track car, but not a daily driver. way too cramped, not much of a trunk and room for only one passenger. i had an e46 M3 prior, and the biggest mistake i made was trading it in on this.

i seriously considered the e90 M3, but i realized that i'm stuck in traffic 90% of the time! spend all that money for nothing! the new C-class sport is a GREAT all around car, very reasonably price and killer looks.

i think i'm getting old....
