Real world 0-60 speeds

Hey guys, I'm looking to get the new BMW 340i or the new C450 AMG. Both due out later this year.

I know BMW are traditionally conservative on their quoted performance figures but how about Mercedes? the c450 on paper does the 0-62mph in 4.9 but is this likely to be conservative? Are AMGs typically quicker real world?

The BMW was favourite but the new C class interior looks stunning.

Thanks
Trueblue

The only purpose of this thread is to goad someone into replying that the C450 isn't a real AMG so you can start another lame troll war like the ones you already have going in the other forums.

Don't feed the trolls people.

realjones88, that is ridiculous. It's a genuine question. No figures out for the 340i yet but the 335i official speed is 5.5. On paper at least the c450 is likely to be quicker.
As a point of interest, what's the quickest any one has ever gotten out of a stock c63s?

Go. Away. 0-60 means nothing. 1/4 mi is more telling. But still...GTFO.

Chris, I'm sure that's a better real world measure but those numbers are never given out are they?
I know nothing about cars but from a layman's POV I reckon the following. Anyone disagree?
1. BMW has better transmission and possibly ride.
2. MB has better styling, especially the interior.
3. MB has better standard options.
4. BMW has better engines?

I love the pananoramic sunroof on the c450 AMG which BMW don't do so that may well be the clincher.
