Well all you really see is covers nowadays! The C300 is called the C 280 in Europe, and is a 2996 cc engine. The C350 is a 3498 cc engine. So on the outside you would not see that much difference (if any) it's just that one is bored out more.

Yeah..pop the hood on any of the cars and the engines (except for AMG models) all look the same, even the 320 bluetec diesel engines have the same covers.

I wonder if it is more expensive at all to make the 3.5 liter then?
