Default C230 vs BMW 320i

Hello,
Can anyone tell me how they like the C230 Sport compared to the BMW 320i in terms of performance, comfort and quality?

Also, is it better to lease or buy?

I've test drove a 320i/325i in the past, owned a 2002 Audi A4 and recently leased a 2005 C230 Sport Sedan. I absolutely love the C230 over the Bimmer.... Much better quality, response and looks... Make sure you get the Sport Sedan version though... The A4 was a great car also, specially with the Quattro option.... My choices in order would be the C230, A4, and finally 320i/325i.

it's a four cylinder kompressor against the sluggish 6 cylinder m54 engine.

i always floor the accelerator pedal on the E46 but the only response i get was the pull i am not expecting. you do that to the C230 kompressor and it will slightly tilt your head backwards.
