Joining the C family (W204)
Hello everyone,
I want to know if there is a difference between c280 2008 and c280 2009 ?
I have an BMW E90 but i made a decision to join the Mercedes family so can anyone help and support me in this decision

Maybe it depends on which country, but in the US there is no C280 in 2008 and 2009, only C300.
However, some website says 2008 C300 has 2.8 liter engine which confuses me.

Welcome
C280 and C300 are same motor, in different countries, if you are looking at the current W204 version of the car. Both have a 3 litre motor. I think MB uses "C300" universally now.
Differences 2008-2009 were pretty minimal. Mirrors maybe? 2009s probably
benefit from a years assembly experience.

01' c320 (sold) / 03' Ford Focus(sold) :( / 98' C230 / 00' SL500 / 11' C300 Sport RWD w204
if at all possible never get the first year. I actually think the sweet spot year to get is 2009-2010 as a lot of forum members with a 2011, myself included, are stuck with no off position lights and dimmed DRLs.
