Any former BMW owners??

MBWorld Fanatic!
Used to have an E90 320i sedan, but it was a company car not my choice of BMW if wanting to buy for myself
Came close to purchasing a 135i 4 years ago, but decided on an Audi TTS instead.
This time around, all factors considered for mine the new C204 coupe variants are miles better than any of the current 3 series E92 coupe equivalents

c300 4matic
Currently own a 335i convertible. love the car. Its my weekend machine while the c is my daily driver. The 335i is loud and fun but is not good for everyday driving. The c class is more comfortable and easier to dive day to day.

Transferred from a 128i to. C350 Coupe. I like the extra room, naturally aspirated 305 HP and styling. Miss the free maintnance and repacement of brake pads+

2012 C350 sedan
Had a '08 328i. We had some of the worst service experiences known to man at the dealership, the free service was free because all they did was reset the service light. Also, too many annoying things on the car broke, like the stupid cupholders that pop out from the dash, the sunvisors and the radio, that it showed poor attention to detail. So I started to look at new cars. I had always liked the W204 (almost got one when I got the BMW) and when we saw the '12 with the new interior and 3.5L engine, made a great switch.

Just made the switch to a C350 from an E46 sedan. I really don't have a whole lot of negatives to say about BMW, it was just time for something different. The newer 3 series models just aren't very aesthetically appealing to me. Very plain looking.

2012 E350
Decision was made!!!
I'm back in an MB.
2012 E350 Black/black. P2, R08 Package.
I just can't stand the look of the new bmw's. I test driven the new 5 series. I love the handling. just not the overall look.
Bmw just does not have what it takes anymore. I'm glad I still have my E46 M3 to enjoy. Still a great car.

In my opinion, it's all about the drive,comfort,and elegance....BMW is a "sporty" car with quality...but the Mercedes, is just class...Think Rolex versus Breitling...

2011 C300 Sport, 2007 Nissan Titan Crew Cab
I've had German cars all my life, although not exclusively. Back in the day it was VWs, then made the transition to Audis & BMWs. I still have a 325 that I drive frequently with 300k miles on it. When buying my new Benz I was also looking at the A5, but obviously I chose the MB. This is my first one and I am thoroughly enjoying it.

2 cars ago I traded my c230 sport for a 2009 328xi. I lasted 2 month with the BMW and now I'm back in a benz.
First thing, was it had a very rough ride. Thanks to run flats for that. Second, everything seemed like an upgrade. Didn't have anything I was use to for the price. No auto lights, garage door opener and plenty other little extras that benz seems to just have in the car.
Rough ride and the fact that I could never get much over 19mpg without trying really hard were the big issues. I commute, so it was an issue for me.
I did also notice that the awd was very strange and unpredictable on ice and snow.
