Test Drove It....
Took out a black on black C300 Sport w/ manual tranny....LOVED it. Based on all the negative opinions of BMW drivers, I expected it to drive like a Lincoln...it was a sporty little sedan...I love the styling & think the interior layout and detailing is brilliant. The manual tranny was smooth yet sporty, not lifeless like the stick on my old 2005 Saab 9-3.
I really LOVED the car...much more than I expected. I'd take it over a 328 any day.
They said they'd sell it to me for invoice, so I guess that's a good deal?
I'll keep you all updated.

2008 C300 Sport 6M
I just came from a similarly equipped/priced saab as well and all I can say is that the W204 is a great sedan. Way better looking in my opinon that the 3-series sedan and a lot of fun to drive, especially with the manual tranny.

X3 and 2012 C coming soon
The W204 6MT is the best manual I have ever used. I just wish it had shorter throws. BTW, the older Saabs (pre-2003) were a blast to drive. The clutch pedal was nice and close to the brake pedal. Heel toe was breeze.
